whoah! see how 'daring' a student can be.. can just rebut a teacher..

Mona Lisa Smile... thats the movie that i watched with xircuff and nat.
Splendid movie.. Well i cried towards the end of it..guess i was just too moved..
indeed.. at the end of the day, the role of a teacher..is just to make a difference of her students..not all..at least a handful. We are not hoping for wonders in just a snap..coz it takes mths..yrs.. just to make a change.
Im just so inspired by the movie. Hpw we should see things beyond the surface.. different perspective..different angle..well in short..sumthin out of the box. I love the way that how we should educate our students sumthin..that is not related..sumthin not in the syllabus.. well at least..they should know more than wats in the textbook..rite?
I know it aint easy.. lotsa research..lotsa readings..lotsa experience.. and well its not easy to handle 40 kids on ur own.

I know of a friend.. hmm who kinda question me each time.. why many..yes many seems to choose teaching! i choose not to ans him at times.. mebbe he should ask the rest.. i heard couple of times..that... it seems..teaching..err..dumping ground for those jobless? and..oh well..the same people will still be jobless after they quit...more bankrupt if they gotta return the bond *winks @ nana*
and.. well yeah.. anyone with qualification..yes u can become a teacher..yerp..y not? good pay? aha u tell me...with that workload..aha ..BUT if u dun haf the passion n patience to teach..then pls... buzz off!! dun do more err to the kids!
AND i had enuff of hearing.. "oh teaching?? thats such a common job..almost everyone i know..join teaching!" They think its easy...they can just spit out those words but hell.. i give you 40 kids to handle for 2 periods ( 1hr), fine with u? oh perhaps.. another set of 40 students... different subject ..different level..for the next 2 periods, ok with u? or perhaps.. in that class.. we shall INCLUDE just 1 ADHD kid..who will roll in the classroom!! jump up and down anytime..or sit under the table.... how abt that!!!!!!!!..oh yes..n not forgetting..anxious parents..who can just call u in the office anytime..make appointment..to meet u after work..
so if u haf what it takes.. TEACH! if not.. u need a masking tape???? or perhaps..needle..n thread to KNIT ur lips! yes..KNIT!!

but again.. to each his own..

everyone can always haf their own opinion..

and so do i!

thanks sha n fod..for the great n awesome company!!!! n hey herda...we shall 'bump' in the MRT again yah?

* lites off*
