Term End Thoughts

What makes a student? A teacher, a school, a parent or an environment? Or is it the sum total of all these? If it really is the latter, then maybe I have an escape. The list of failures is perhaps not only a reflection on me. I might find refuge in passing the buck but then somewhere a thought keeps nagging me - you could do better, better, better.

Checking papers is perhaps the most painful part of teaching. What glares on your face is not what you actually taught but rather what you failed to teach. When a class ninth student prefers to close his letter to his father with “yours approximately”, do you doubt his father’s paternity or the fact that you failed to tell them that rhyme and synonymity are two different concepts? And yes, attempting a character sketch in literature is not the same as attempting a sketch in drawing. Was that to be told?

I shall be careful next time.

Friendship Day Thoughts

You know the day is round the corner, when Dove starts planning days ahead…bands, chocolates and cards.

My gratitude…Thank you friends for being there. Flowers for all the friends who come here.
