..AND THEY WILL THINK SOMEDAY

Dear students,

Gone are the days when our spirits were united, so high that we managed to face hurdles unsurmountable to many especially those without dreams.We have already passed a quarter of this year yet i still fail to spread any well-thought plans without which we are no different from those counting on soothsayer's wishes. i wonder why the spirit has been diminishing as if so far i have fought something transient which has already eclipsed. They say true power lies within. It feels like now, true power is never truer without Him granting to a person of His choice. Again, they claim two heads is always better than one. This will be true if two mutually complement each other lest failures await as there shouldn't be two lions on a mountain.

Sometimes, having spent a considerable time reflecting on things i shouldn't have done the first time eats my sinew and brain that result in poor work performance.After all, it is not advisable.It dragged me days and even weeks to naught. This is very unfair to my innocent students whose teachers embroiled in incessant woes. They, like those in elite schools, deserve the best learning experience though having to settle with mediocre minds whose teaching exercise is treated as nothing more than a dull routine.And i am no exception though i regret at times but there is very little change thus far. I am tickled and feel guilty by the memory of marking papers for three classes in just one hour after being alerted by PK1 . No wonder some students did not put much thought to answer their papers well or resorted to cheating seemingly knowing full well of their teacher's attitude.

This proved that i failed to uphold the values that may have far reaching effects to my subjects.How should i expect them to raise and improve their performance to a satisfactory level if values of my own are questionable.I love my students but as far as i remember i hardly tell them as to me is unbecoming to eagerly express affection. Yet,i know they knew.i tried to be stickler for time, but to expect overnight change from students is not on the card as this is sort of culture,it takes time.At least enough to me if i can make them think. To borrow a quote from Socrates ' i cannot teach anybody anything , i can only make them think'. This hopefully will give my unbecoming deeds a justice as above all i want them to think and be a man.

Sir
