Happy Teachers' Day!

teaching is no mean feat. i mean it. i see a lot of my frens who are teachers, and they're always complaining abt sthg or other...

the principal sucks
can u believe how stupid these kids are??
i've got tons of marking to do i sleep at 3+ every day
no point doing so much for the kids lah....it'll all be wasted on
them
5-day week system is stupid. i'd rather be spending my time in sch marking
on a saturday than lug the books home to mark.
there's just too many things to do!!

n the list goes on. yes i complain abt my work too...n i'm no teacher. but thing is..i only complain to my spider. i dont diss my job in front of strangers. at the end of the day, i like what i'm doing. i might have lost the passion for it somewhat, but i'm still proud of it....cos i believe i make a difference somehow.

dont teachers know that they have the opportunity to make a difference? ohhh pls dont believe those ads on tv..they say. teaching's not all that noble and rewarding as it's hyped out to be...they say. true...the ads tend to gloss things over. but it's spot on in saying that teachers can make a difference.

that is...if they put their mind to it.

can we honestly say that those who are teachers are passionate about what they do? do they go in thinking that they wanna make a difference? or is teaching just something to do, recession-proof and rather easy to get into?

i'm convinced there are many teachers out there who're truly passionate about what they are doing. i've had the fortunate luck to have many teachers who..thru their passion n dedication..has made me who i am today (not much, but still ok :P).

to them...happy teachers' day!!!

n there r teachers (ok.. maybe just 1) who, thru their positive attitude to life and stuffs, has made a great positive impact to my life.

to them...happy teachers' day...n kropkrop!!

but i know of a few who are just in it for the money (which is not enuff if you ask them) ....who just go thru the motion cos its sthg to do.

n thats just sad.
