pieces of me

wth!

take a look at this tuition assignment notification email that i received yesterday

Assignment Details:
Tutor gender and race Preference: No preference, No preference.
Requirement: 4 As for A levels, Straight As for O levels. Will be moving to Tiong Bahru mid year.
TO TUTORS: state if you can teach chinese as well..
Session per week: Twice x 1.5hours.
Level and Subjects: Primary_5 - English, Maths (and chinese)
Suggested tuition fee per hour: $.
Schedule: Flexible, can be once or twice a wk.

seriously..why don't the parent just state "only medicine students need to apply?"

this is the most ridiculous assignment i have seen so far. i think a request for current/ex school teacher is very reasonable, because they know the stuff that will most probably be tested.

but a request like this? asking for straight A's student? this is just absurd!

i think the parent has somehow equate straight A's student to good tutor, which is seriously not true! you can be very good in mugging and spotting exam questions, but you don't know how to convey your message across to make yourself understood!

besides, the child is ONLY PRIMARY 5, not in junior college or something. why do they need a tutor with such good qualification when most of the tutor in Singapore should not have problem teaching his/her child? too much money to splurge on tuition?

come on, i bet majority of the teacher teaching in primary school don't even have this kind of grades for their O and A'Level..

weird mentality of some parents..
