Itz soooo heartwarming to be remembered and appreciated by students although u are not teaching them anymore.. I feel that thatz the greatest gift that a teacher can ask for.. Having said that, an ex student of mine approached me at the boon lay interchange while Im on my way back from school with the galz. Apology to khairul (although u wont be reading this) for taking some time to remember u.. Haf a quick chat with him, asking howz hez doing etc etc.. and i met with another group of primary 4 boyz when alighting from the bus 300.. Itz uber-ultra-very sweet of them to alight from the same bus they already board just to salam me.. Their hyper, excited, innocent, naive look on their faces just touched me, considering how i was so strict-mean-wicked to them before.. haha.. so, i chatted with them while waiting for another bus to arrive coz i feel guilty as they purposely missed the bus juz to greet me.. it amazed me how at such a yong age, they are able to voice out their honest and sincere opinions and views aboout the teachers, school, the system.. ended the coversation with a few words of advice, and off they board the next bus, waving goodbye to me.. =)
anywayz, juz wanna share the extra work teachers have to do besides conducting lessons.. below are the newsletters for the parents, reporting to them what we have been doing with their kids..lol. i can still remember that me and the other staff were complaining and cursing when doing this a few years back coz each of us has to actually prepare one for each class for each term, mind you.. leceh kan..
Pri 1, the adorable sweet little kids
Pri 3, the well-behaved class
Pri 4- the cekik darah class.. if you can survive this class, u can survive other classes
