i finally cancelled tuition, once and for all. whereas, my tuition teacher has cancelled out on me for more than 5 times. always twice a week, if she cancels the first, she'd most likely cancel the next postponed date one as well.

my parents always seem to side with the tuition teacher. whatever, really. i really think adults can't understand the way, we, as teenaagers think. how our brain functions, and of course, wont understand and seldom try to, our point of view. it's not as though it's so difficult. we only want understanding. you can chide, scold, scream. but in the end, cant you understand where we're coming from? if you can't set an example for us, then, who are we supposed to model after?

you say she has her own programs, but so do i. she has her last minute arrangements, so do i. secondary school students, especially sec4 students are not as free as they appear to be. i cancelled on her only minutes prior to the start of tuition, so did she. i was only minutes away from home, and i received an sms from mum, saying that she wouldnt be able to make it. even worse, my sis was already preparing for tuition, ready at her seat. and mum comes in to say, she cancelled. how many times this has happened within the short span of less than a month, or maybe a month, not more than that, i dont know, really. i lost count already. if tuition was at a fixed time every week, on a specific date, i would remember very clearly. but, i clearly forgotten about it today, heading back to BB. i remembered at 2.57, when tuition starts at 3.30 and the lucky thing was, i was already on the way back. if i had still been in school, or at clementi, and only started heading home then, i would not make it on time.

and all those whatnots came in. dad said i sacked another tuition teacher again. but, i did make time for all the tuitions that i requested. i even made time on a saturday, which at first, i was slightly reluctant. because, saturday is more of a relaxing day, after the whole chaos in school. and on friday nights, i made time for chemistry, having to rush home after dance straight away. tuition starts at 8, while im released at 5.30. factor in the rush hour crowd, plus all the time i take to pack up and maybe help to keep the equipment. i'd definitely leave the dance room at around 6, peak hour makes me reach home only at 7, and then dinner plus a bath would have to be snappy. who says i dont make time for tuition? he said im pulling my sister down. but, the dates that we scheduled tuition on, were just nice, a day before a common test or such. and she cancels. so what of our grades? doesnt it seem like she doesnt care a hoot for our grades? and im a sec4 this year. revision of all the topics are important, but so are the basics! if she keeps skipping like that, what about my foundations? if they're weak, she'd have to spend more time on building them up, instead of focusing on refreshing those topics that were taught last year.

it's a stupid thing to be in an argument about. but, they dont understand. i just want to know, why adults always find excuses, always cant understand what we're rambling on about.
