The question in the paper asked, Why is seed called a living thing ? ZH, one of the boys in my class has problem with this question.
ME: Because the seed needs sunlight, air and water to grow into a plant.
ZH: What is a seed ?
ME: Seed grows into a plant.
ZH: What is a seed ?
I was thinking of how to convince him so I drew a seed on a paper and showed him. And he still asked the same question, refusing to write the answer !
Background information about Zhao Hui.
He’s on medication for attention deficit order (ADHD). He never sits still in the class. He disturbs his friends and interrupts my teaching. And he never COMPLETES his school work. Once a while when he’s in a good mood, he will listen. Sometimes, he will crawl under the table and turn violent.
I am not the only teacher around having problem with him. But because he’s in my class and under my care, I told the principal I will try my best.
Seriously, I do not know if I can do it. But i will try.
