More happenings during econs tutorial

Before econs test (which many students took the in the previous week.. so yeah.. erhmmm)
Student C: 'Cher what if i get full marks?
He asked at least twice, but somehow my tutor isnt in the mood to entertain him, so he didnt reply. I thought he would say something like 'You can TRY'
So yah, one neednt be of high intelligence to know what exactly happened. hehe

Thursday lesson:
Students asked tutor why he's in the Discipline Committee
Tutor: They happened to have a vacancy & asked me to join, so i thought why not?
Student C: Got pay rise??
Tutor: (didnt reply) Now i feel motivated to come to school everyday, armed with a stack of white forms (to be distributed to those he caught not abiding to proper hair & attire rules)
Wow! My tutor found a new goal in his teaching career... Clapclaps.. Lolx

Later while talking about Protectionism (a country will try to protect its own producers by restricting imports)
Tutor: Japan is very protectionistic, the Japanese buy their own domestically produced goods, so it's hard to break into their market. But when it comes to luxury goods like Gucci, they will go 'Woooo..' (imagine him saying woooo with both hands in front of him, fingers stretched out, eyes brightened.. hehe)

More acting & storytelling together with some 'surround sound' effects
Student C: Why no war? (in other words, why dont countries wage war to steal another country's resources instead of imposing tariffs on imports?)
Tutor: In the past, I can send my elephants, u can send your (whatever it is that can fight la.. i didnt catch)... Low cost wars
World War I, have cannons (hear his imaginary cannon firing, motions of turning cannon in different directions)
Not so effective rifles, have to reload then shoot each time (with reloading action & sound), by the time u reload, the arrows (feeew feeew, arrows directed to himself) will come and kill the person. Men on horses (make galloping sound) will come and take their swords & slash slash (draw big X with his arm)
World War II: Modern warfare is very costly, bring war into cities... Machine guns (bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk while holding on to an imaginary formidable machine gun).. High casualty rate

I thought i teleported into a GP or history class by mistake. We all thought that he would make a good GP tutor.
Entertaining, engaging & informative lessons await. Definitely better than _____

And as he talked more about war in historical and modern times, he walked towards the whiteboard, stared at the 'Benefits of Trade' that he wrote previously and asked 'How did i go so far?' Heheh now then he realise. 'Who's the one arh?'
Many guys pointed at Student C...
Tutor-Student C: Hey your hair is very long.
Student C: = =''' (does that serve as a warning asking him not to crap and interrupt in future??)

I think my soundless, non-visual narration isnt too interesting/exciting & clear enough. Nothing beats listening & watching it 'live'
Lolx
