Physics
As usual me and my gf were sitting at the canteen this morning. And this morning, she had a truckload of complains about her physics teachers to tell me about.
Her physics teacher, the one who had earned reputation from the students as the "Old Man" or the "Kungfu Master", seems probably better at kungfu than physics. When students ask him how to do so and so question in the prelim papers, he would take a look at the paper, then at the student (presumely to see how gullible the student was), then he would exclaim, "Why are you doing this? You should be doing TYS!" After which, he would walk off without another word and leave the student to his or her own misery.
When the Old Man made mistakes while teaching in class that was so obvious that even the weaker students in his class noticed it and tried to correct him, he would just ignore and pretend not to hear. Only when the brightest in class could not take the Old Man's foolry and pointed out the mistake to him, the mistake Old Man made will suddenly struck him like a thunderbolt and Old Man will proceed to praise that particular student.
When some students encountered problems while setting up some experimental equipments, he would walk over, seemingly to help. However, if he fails to notice what was wrong with the setup, Old Man will just walk away, without another word.
Presumely his ability to walk away from the questions of students had its roots from all the Kung Fu he mastered.
Having said all these, my girlfriend looked at me questioningly, as if expecting me to give her a reason as to why Old Man acts this way.
"This is AJC," I said, and my girlfriend nodded slowly in resignation.
