HIGH TIME TO LOOK DEEP DEEP DOWN INSIDE

Dear students,

It is almost two months and a half before this year PMR batch will prove the mettle either being able to fare well or otherwise. We teachers start wondering and contempleting best means to muscle up our fluctuating strengths to prepare you for any imminent danger. Danger is nothing for the bravehearts as they at that time will already have had what it take to brave themselves against any odds and challenges. PMR is just an exam that requires us to throw what we have all this while learnt since form one, or indirectly accumulated knowledge right from standard one.

It is nothing but to benchmark you all of your latest updated standing academic performance. Then, true dramas will unfold after the release of the result at end of December this year. Then, your teachers' priceless advice will start haunting your sanity for being repeatedly ignored months,weeks or days before the D day. What a regret! The good news is you still have ample time not to experience regret on that day. They say PREPARE, PREPARE and PREPARE as preparation meets success. Preparation requires brilliant planning as coined by the author of Think and Grow Rich book. And that is what i as a teacher am thinking right now.

Last night was a failure for me as a teacher as students seem having already lost interest the way i have been teaching them with the same old yet uninteresting methods. No one turned out for the additional class except the informer entrusted upon him to relay the news of the additional class, he was no other than mr Ayub. It is high time now for me to look deep deep down inside ( to borrow native dean's intention) of my old yet dull methods of teaching should i be determined enough to see success in my students' sparkling faces. I should admit that they don't have a strong drive or desire to make them attend or be motivated enough to learn English.

It seems the exam papers beckon us from afar to see whether we keep soldiering on not . To remain frantic without taking necessary steps would cost us unbearable burdens for both mind and body.

So, dear students, do something to better yourself from yesterday and to coin Mahatma's popular quote ' Be the change you want to see' .

Sir
