Dear 2E3,
Although I'm not your FT anymore, I still follow your performance very closely. I do believe that this class has the ability to achieve a lot more than what you are doing now.
However, when I heard about today's incident during EL class, I was very sad.
Sad because you let me down.
Sad because so many of those who promised me to behave are not keeping their promises.
Sad because you are not showing respect to Mrs Lee.
Sad because only a minority of the students are interested in their own future.
Sad because all my effort in encouraging you from January to June is wasted.
Sad because the majority of the class is not showing consideration for the minority who want to learn.
Sad because I want you to excel.
Sad because you are not showing the class spirit that I know and respect.
I have told you early this term that if there are any problems, you can always look for me to talk. Some have done so. Some have shared with me their goals and dreams. Some have asked me for academic help.
But some others have not heeded my advice. They are only interested in the present. They are taking their own education for granted. Ask our International Students why they are so focused on their studies? Because they know the value of education. They pay full school fees every month, and they know the sacrifices that their parents make to ensure that they have a good education. But some others do not take their education seriously. They think they are still in primary school. They want to enjoy themselves. This type of behaviour I hate.
All of you have the potential to make it to Poly or JC. But some of you will not make it. Why? Because you have been playing around and not being serious for the past 1 year, 8 months. Ever since I started teaching you Physics in Term 2 last year in Sec 1, all the way till Maths from January to May this year, I know who are the hardworking ones and who are those with slack attitudes. I can even predict who will do well for the FYE this year and get to the subject combination that they deserve to get in Sec 3. Some are in danger of not getting their choice of combination. Some are in danger of transferring to 3NA. I challenge you to prove me wrong.
I can only encourage and advise you. Some of you still respect me as a former FT. Do come and look for me if you have any problems. The rest of you who don't care about your future, let this be my warning to you: don't affect the future of your classmates. You know who you are. You have been warned. I will come after you.
Sincerely
Mr Leong
