Metamorphosing; Capturing the sweetness in life

想了又想..

Have you thought of what your future would be?

Have you wonder why you have to walk on the earth for so many years of life?

Have you wonder what would you be able to acheive at the end of your journey?

Have you dream of the sweetest moment of life, that you would yearn to have?

--------------------------------------------------------

After so many years of teaching, i suddenly feel that the level of understanding in most of my students are not what i would have expected, based on their textbooks and syllabus. Fractions seems to be a problem for them, explaining using the concepts that have learnt seems to be a difficulty. Higher order thinking application questions are always left blank. Students are getting a little more rebellious - tucking out uniform, scolding vulgarity, not doing homeworks, cursing the teachers when lessons are boring, failed the tests yet nothing was done to atone the mistakes, tattoing and piercing. What is actually happening?

Being a committed educator, i, at times, felt a little upset and low for these few disturbing observations. What could really be done to salvage these situations?

Is being rebellious an 'in' thing for all youngsters to follow?


Sometimes, i wonder if these could get better...

-----------------------------------------------

Anyway, vacations are here and things are getting better as for now, perhaps for these 3 months. Now that holidays are here, it is really a chance for me to experience some real-life situation.

There are alot of things that are going 'hay-wired', and somehow it seems that nothing could be done to improve or mould the situation.

I'm trying to do something about it, yet lazy to explain what would happen next... So people who have trust in me, please don't not probe further. If you trust me, please continue to give me the trust.
