The Return OF ....The..................Je.......

My apologises for not updating the blog for so long, but forgive me, been really busy only have time to breathe. HAHAHA.

School re-opens today, so must blog. Because from this term on, I am a "freeman", free from the 3 years bond that every teacher has to put up with for the 3 years of his or her career. Yeah!!!

My form class (5Normal Academic) will graduate this year after their 'O' levels. My 4 Normal Academic class will be taking their 'N' levels this coming September. Time flies! I can still remember this secondary four class was secondary one when I first joined this school after NIE (National Institute of Education). Blur Heads to young punks to almost gentlemen(and ladies). But hope many if not all will return for their secondary five education.

The quote of the week for my form class is
" He who spares the rod, hates the child. But he who loves his child, disciplines him."

I met a pupil (Ja) of mine, graduated last year from Normal technical stream. I have taught him for 3 years since he was secondary two. He was rebelious, refuse to do his homework, sleeps in class, simply not motivated to study and quarelled with me once (Part of the NT pupils that drives me up the wall to the point, I nearly want to break bond and quit, forget the whole thing). But when i met him on 23 Jun, he told me that he regret not listening during my maths lesson, is sorry and he missed me. At that moment, I was truely touched. (No, i did not cry, but something in me broke). This truely is the moment that all teachers live for. Just when I thought I cannot go on anymore, GOD sent a messenger timely to bless me. He promised to visit me in the school during Teacher's Day and I looked forwarded to that day. I must remember to bring my camera to take a picture with him. :)

No wonder, the "older" teachers will tell the new teachers that the children know whether we truely care for them, even when we scold them, they may not accept it at that moment, but deep down they know that we care for them to scold them. What a true reflection of the verse above! (It is from the book of truths: The Bible)
