I had a pleasant shock today. (^-^) One of my P4 boys gave me a hug suddenly, without warning......
Well, I am used to having pupils hugging me, but they are usually girls who are more expressive. So this is something new to me. When I told my P6 pupils about this, they were laughing away, and "yeeing" away. Their reactions were no surprise to me.
Asians are less vocal and are generally quite shy. However, to me, I view hugging as a way of saying thank you, showing concern to others. It has therapatic effects. When I feel sad, I would hug my god daughter or my hubby. (^-^) It gives me the energy to go on, the courage to continue. When pupils hugged me, I felt appreciated and most importantly, their trust in me. The younger ones treat me as their "mother", that's why they hugged me. The older ones, I sensed their trust and friendship.
Of course, I am not encouraging you to go around hugging people. However, a hug at the right time, the right place could save someone, could make someone feel better and good. I was feeling lousy today after looking at my pupils' results. That hug made me feel so much better. At least I know, to that boy, I am not a lousy teacher......

May God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference......

Zheng Yee,
By being sisrespective to others, you are demeaning yourself. By being disrespective to teachers, well, you will be the one who suffers. Think of it this way, the class will be noisy, you would not learn anything, your results will suffer. At the end of the day, the teacher still gets her pay. Not everyone will like us, and we might not like everyone, but try to live in harmony always. And I am not preaching cos I am a teacher, but as someone who has benn thru it.
