Maths Teacher has been reminding students to write the Standard Units of Measurement for their answers.

As Teacher walked around and saw a student wrote 10 muffins in the space for answer, she said, “Muffin is not a Standard Unit. You need not write that down in the answer.”

Then the student replied, “Oh, it is Foundation.”

Ms Kho: So what else is different in mainstream school ? Any other things you miss ?

Weijun: I miss the Pathlight cafe.

Ms Kho: Oh – is it our Cafe food ? Our Food Kiosks ?

Weijun: I miss the Pokka Peach Tea.

Ms Kho: Don’t your school sell this in the canteen?

Weijun: They do. But they sell it in cans. Not in plastic bottles like what Pathlight has.
You see , I came back to buy this Pokka Peach Tea in a bottle – my favourite !

IT Classes

Weijun, an ex-Pathlighter is now in Sec 1 in a mainstream school. He came back to Pathlight to visit teachers and friends. Our Principal Ms Kho chatted with him.

Ms Kho: So what do you miss about Pathlight?

Weijun: I miss the IT lessons.

Ms Kho: Don’t you have IT lessons in your school now? Is it you miss the learning and the interesting way our teachers teach you ?

Weijun: No. In mainstream school, there are 40 students in a class. It takes 10min to settle down and start the IT class. In Pathlight, only 10 students in a class. Very fast to settle down to start the class. I miss that !
