Response.

I will be writing a response to Ryan Issac's post about "School Expectations". 

First of all, it is known to every student or teacher that Angsana is the "best" class in our school. I agree that we "Angsana-nians are always expected to do better than people from other classes but this does not mean that even if we are unable to meet these expectations, we should discourage ourselves to the point of morphing our own personality. We should think of it as an encouragement instead and work harder to achieve something that we would not have thought we could do.

I believe that everyone student is supposed to hand in all our homework on time. Teachers are usually more lenient towards students from the "last" few classes as they cannot learn as fast as we can. In the Malaysia context, the good students are predominantly going into Science stream and the poor students going predominantly to the Arts stream. As a result, teachers have lower expectations and give more leeway for students in the "last" few classes.
