I am convinced that, almost all teachers must have gone through a phase along their journey in teaching wherein they raised questions to themselves as:
- Why will I force a student to comply if he is not Really interested to make it my class?
- Why will force them to come to all their subjects when in fact some of them find joy in skipping classes?
- Why will I add scores to increase their grade when in fact they got low?
- Just thinking objectively, why won’t I give this student a dose of his own medicine?
Admittedly, this world can have this world full of doctors, engineers, teachers, business entrepreneurs and other white-collar jobs on hand.
Some must play the role of janitors, carpenters, messengers, garbage collectors and other so called blue-collar jobs for our society to work!
The truth is, I am into a dilemma of pushing to stop babying and cheating myself.
Why don’t I let them to run their own lives?
Decide for themselves?
He is a free man!
A human being completes all his facilities!
I should let him learn from his mistakes!
Suffer the possible consequences of actions wrongly done!
If in failing, he will regain his senses to value time and my subject, so be it, let him fail!
It has been always stated, in “failure and defeat come the beauty of triumph!”
So, this day onwards I am standing firm to go by my realizations that I too, must keep my sanity,
I too, deserves a sound sleep…
I too, must bear the torch of discipline because
I’m their second Mom away from home.
I too, am just human with limited understanding and tolerance!
