Day +296 : I teach myself

I am fine today.

While doing his mathematic exercises a few days ago, I noticed Joseph who is studying primary two used a special technique to solve a math multiplication problem – 9 x 5 =45. He looked at his fingers and then arrived at the solution. I still don’t know how he did that, but since the answer was correct, I am too lazy to probe further.

“Who teach you to count like this, Joseph? Is it your teacher?” I asked.

“No, I teach myself,” he answered proudly.

How I wish he could teach himself everything so that I do not have to spend so much time to do revision with him every night.

See you next post :-)
