Kids! Sometimes i just don't understand them.

*sigh*

Just the other day, M in the English class started to cry when i asked her to do correction for her spelling test. She spelled 2 words wrongly, so naturally i marked it wrong and asked for a correction by telling her to write each of the words thrice. Then all of a sudden, she burst into tears. And i didn't even yell at her or anything!

When i asked her what's wrong (Why can't i mark wrong? Will mummy scold you if you didn't get all correct?), she just shakes her head and tears rolled down her cheeks. Then she wants to have the same spelling again. And boy, i tell you, was she all smiling when she got all correct the second time!

So what was THAT all about? Kiasuism in its most childish form?

ZY was absent and i feel sort of bad cos i didn't really console her or make her feel better last week. :-/ Kids puzzle me. Sometimes i wish i've taken up child psycology or something.
