【周博士水電工程系列】馬桶去水渠漏水,搵水喉匠來兩次都搞唔掂,無辦法下唯有自己落手整。整馬桶小貼士:
– 馬桶好多時係靠自身重量同唧膠定位,鎅開啲膠就可以拆除。
– 去水用嘅風琴渠常見長度有兩三種,好似我屋企馬桶係貼盡牆身用最短嘅就得。
– 風琴渠對馬桶嗰邊管內有橡膠邊,如果太短就有可能會漏水。
今次問題就出在水喉匠用嘅牌子條邊太短,所以整咗兩次都漏水。

老師用心學生當下不一定明白,本來應該是常識。但現時大學講求問責,主力教學的老師的年度評核幾乎全看學生每個學期給予的評分。在這情況下,教學嚴謹的老師在升遷以至續約上就有一定程度的輸蝕。即使學生將來明白老師的苦心,他們亦沒有機會回過頭來給予老師較高的評價。
