Even when Oliver fell sick for the past two weeks, he was not spared from homework. His teacher Ms Emily Seow diligently asked us to give Oliver spelling at home and passed back to her for marking.
This note written by Ms Seow showed how much effort she had put him to ensure her students improved continuously (at home) which had me struggling. Not forgetting there were also other subjects and its homework. Gosh, what kind of system we have in Singapore. Homework is more important than health? But having said this, I am very much appreciative of teacher's effort, although I cannot help to think that these teachers are also in the same situation which the social norms and pressure had made it impossible not to do so.
