Question

Why is it important for every individual to take responsibility for one’s own learning?

Answer 1

This academic year has had a rough start. Interrupted by school closure, students have faced a long commute to school. Even when they have been able to reach school on time, classes have been cancelled or shortened because teachers were delayed due to the traffic congestion.

Some students have not resorted to using these inconveniences as excuses for not meeting homework deadlines. This is especially praiseworthy, as these excuses have validity.

I have had students email me and apologise for handing in homework late, or for rushed and untidy work. I have been extremely impressed.
