BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Am I as bad as I used to be?


 

 

No way!! Long time ago I must admit I used to be a bit strict with my students, but now that I even have my old students' children, I'm no longer as bad as I used to be!!



I know times are changing, but it should be for the better. Although the latest students coming to our school haven't been the best, at least the promotion of students that has just started their secondary education is quite promising.

  1. I was reading a blog when I suddenly saw this comment, ''When I think of teenagers, I think of loud music, social media, messy bedrooms, refusing to help out at home and no books anywhere!'' so I have to talk about this, because this isn't correct! First, I don't know any teenager that heard to loud music, me and my friends are teenagers, and we don't listen to loud music, we listen to something more smooth if you know what I am talking about. Social media is something we use a lot, but not every time, we spend our time studying too. I don't use to have my bedroom messy, I always have it tidy and clean. I always help with the homework, cleaning our helping my mom. I have a huge bookcase in my bedroom, it is entire of books. I don't know why people think this of us, but they are not correct.

  2. Today, I am going to talk about the beliefs that teenagers have to the older generations. First, the attitude, their attitude is always to be the boring or always beeing tired and going to sleep, this might be the most correct.
    The experiences they had was like they only went at the park, to play lots of traditionals games in the street in front of their houses. Their mental ability is only focus on the work and be always serious, they are sometimes funny but just for a little bit of time. The values is the best thing that old generations have, they are too respectful with other persons and they never say bad words in public, they are soo respectful.
