Mathematics Rep

Nowadays, schools are having alot of creative names to teach the kids responsibilities and assigning them with JD.

Earlier this year, Juz told me that he was the lights rep for his class. Light rep?? Light rep's JD is to ensure that all the lights and fans are turned on and off before and after class. In my heart, I was evilly amused but then, I told him that he played a very important job in conserving the energy and saving our earth! And my colleague was telling me the other day that her son is the waterbottle rep!! JD? To ensure the water bottles are there????!?!?

Well, whatever titles they are given, schools are merely using them to instill some sense of responsibilities into young kids who view helping teachers a very important task in their life.

Back to my Juz.. a few days ago, he came back happily to tell me that he is the mathematics rep! Again, i ask him what is his roles this time? Is it because his mathematics is good, therefore he is chosen to help the weaker ones?

Nope, he answered proudly that he is helping his mathematics teacher to collect the workbooks, carry them to and fro the staff room as and when needed. :) *LOL*

Anyway, to his little mind, it is an impt task with a badge given to pin on his uniform everyday (he will 'instruct' me every nite to remember to pin his badge!) and going to school is not just for plain academic excellent but to build up character which the books cannot teach.

This is his badge!
