  4. Passion to see growth in their "subjects"
    *Pun intended*

    I think whilst it's important to maintain a teacher-student relationship, it's important to see the student as a person and not a "project" to be built. As teachers, we partner with their parents to shape the future generations.

    What we impart to them is a portion of our souls, and we hope that whatever part we share with them, they will take for the rest of their journey as distinct and unique individuals.

    Teachers.. carry a heavy responsibility to be real role models who project the future for these children for the glory of the nation.

    *This sounds like a blog post*

  5. Thank u so much Fazilah and Paul for ur comments. very beautifully said. When it comes to having a great sense of humour it is absoulutely crucial to live up a dull classroom. For the 1st time in my life as a teacher for 11 years i have encountered a great feeling recently when i cracked a joke in English and my form lower 6 students just laughed. It felt so good to hear the laughters. previously in my other classes i had to translate the jokes into BM and of course the students laughed but somehow the essense of the humour got lost in translation. :) God i love my job as a teacher.
