I laughed and worried at the same time…
Last night as I was checking Ian’s school bag, I took out his 造句 (build sentences) exercise book and found a few that I couldn’t stop laughing, but at the same time also worried/ sad for him.
First it was 勇敢 (brave). He wrote this: 我要很勇敢的去学校上课。 (I must be very brave to go to the school study)
Second one was 紧张 (nervous). His original was something like ‘we should not be nervous, nervous is no good’. I asked him to improve, coz it doesn’t carry out the meaning of nervous. So he changed to this: 我去学校上课会很紧张。 (I am very nervous going to study at school)
Aiyoh, he makes the school sounds like a very scary and awful place to be. I’m not sure if this is what he truly feels, or is he just making up, so he could complete the homework. I know he hates school, but never know that he needs strong courage to overcome the fear and anxiety of school.
Sigh… Laughed a lot at first, worried at the end. Am I worried too much, or should I just laugh and forget it?

I don’t think you should take school anxiety lightly and maybe there is something that is really bothering Ian at school …. which is why he is nervous abt going to school
LOL! try not to worry first…see how it goes. If he is repeating the same type of expression thru his bina ayat activity, hmm…then need a heart to heart talk with him to find out what really bothers him (besides the silly class teacher
)
