After teaching at this school for 8 years, I can see a clear pattern of matriculation students. In most cases, they will be enthusiastic for a while. After experiencing the difficulties, they will give up. Their whole academic life will go down the drain. In contrast, their social life will shine brightly for the rest of their study period at NMC. For one thing, it's good as they can be happy with few worries. In the past, only those anti-social type of students could actually succeed in entering university. I'm rather tired in dealing with students like that.
When students are not concentrated on their studies, they will start creating problems, for example, they would isolate some so-called weirdos and create small cliques to foster their social power within his or her own class.
I'm quite sick and tired of the whole situation. The worst period will be in April and May period. A period when NMC F.6 students still think that AL is still far away (which is not in fact). Just like a period before execution, people will do whatever they desire. I do wish that my students this year won't be like that. Nevertheless, judging by the "ongoing status" of them before Easter. It might not be difficult to tell what will happen.
