I was chatting with a fellow teacher in the staffroom today. That teacher was commenting on why students want to make their teachers angry.
Indeed, why?
When you make your teacher angry, the result will usually be a round of scolding, which will then spoilt your mood as well. So why? Why make us poor teachers to constantly feel the anger raising in us? Isn't that a cycle?
I felt that the younger generation lacks in a certain factor that distinct them from students in my era. I had my fun share when i was younger. But never once did i actually give up on my studies. No matter how much i talk in class or how much i daydream, i would never fail to take down things that the teacher wrote on the board. I studied for the tests and exams. However, taht virtue seems to have been lost. For most classes, i see students who can't be bothered what their future will be like or who believe that they can continue their current lifestyle forever.
This makes me wonder.. If you can't be bothered about your own future, why should any other people be bothered about you? God can't help those who don't help themselves.
So do yourself a favour. Try to pick up the books and start studying for that due tests.
