Teachers

Teachers. They are the people who teaches us in school. Who made us people. Well, not technically la but you know what I mean. They're the ones who believed in us to get A's for tests. They're the ones who never gave up. Even how bad we are, they never gave up on teaching us. Well, the teachers I know never gave up on me and my classmates.

Teachers give us homework to help us understand. Like, I mean, homework is the thingy that helps us to understand what the teacher was teaching. Okay, I don't understand that. But, blah! When the teachers give lots of homework, it doesn't mean they're evil, it means they care about us and want us to succeed in tests. Okay, fine, maybe a bit evil. But it's for the best.

Why do you think teachers scold us in class when we are not listening? Because they like scolding? Not really. It's because they want us to hear what they are teaching. Because they want us to pass our upcoming tests. Because they know we don't study at home. Well, some of us do. But most of us don't. Especially the subjects like, Geography or History or Arts. They know we don't study so they try to attract our attention in class. Making jokes, scolding us, letting us eat in class. Why do you think they do that? To get our attention! Because they know that the subjects they are teaching are boring. It bores us. Teachers know because they were once teenagers/kids/young adults like us. How do you think they grow up?

To me, although I say bad stuffs about teachers, I feel like they are under-appreciated. I mean, they teach us. They go to bookshops after bookshops to find exercise books for us. To photocopy our homework. How much money and energy do you think that cost? Yeah, okay, we pay them. But what do we do? We just cut and paste and do it while not knowing they went here and there. And to make it worse, some of us don't even say 'thank you' to the teacher when they got the books or the papers. We should always say 'thank you' to show our appreciation to the teacher. Not just a teacher but to all teachers. And, god! I always see people come in and out of the class just like that. I mean, like, they say "Teacher, may I see ....?" or "May I .....?" or what some rude people just do... Knock the door, bow to the teacher, take their stuffs or see the person they wanna see, then go away. How do you think the teacher feels? My teacher almost cried when she saw one of my friends just walk in and go out like that without even greeting the teacher. Have some respect la for the teachers. Our teachers. The people who teaches us. The people who tries their hardest to make us succeed.

So, to all you students, don't make the teachers sad or disappointed la. If you don't know, it's okay. Learn from your mistakes. What teachers teach, we learn. We make them happy by succeeding in our tests. Okay, maybe I don't succeed in my tests but I'm willing to try harder. So, don't give up. Never give up. Giving up just means losing everything. So, better don't. Show some appreciation to our teachers. Not only the teachers who teach us but to all. Teachers are like our second parents. They teach us right and wrong, good and bad. They take care of us during school hours. Why do you think they give long speeches during the assembly about how we should dress, about how we should not take drugs or skip school or skip class? They care. They really do. Don't think otherwise :). Teachers day is coming. This Sunday, 16th of May. Give them at least a card.
