Joshua 21
I shall revert back to topic. Recently there's been alot of news flying about teachers reading student blogs and find that they've been used as 'live' criticism. And this is practiced to a large extent.
I don't mean to butt in, but if you are a teacher - be like Daphne Ang. She is perpetually immuned to all the hot spites and filthy remarks casted at her. And why? Because being a female teacher would probably mean you'll be a bitch in school, and students hate bitches.. so you gotta take the stride. *raises hand* I don't like bitches too, and Daphne Ang knows me well enough to avoid me.
So, if you're a teacher. I can say there is nothing you can do about this... maybe you can sue us for slander. But then again, there are so many Daphne Angs out there - I don't think you stand a chance. And you really should grow a very thick skin in the teaching business, I applause the teacher (as mentioned above) who've done so.
God detests the way we critically spend time making each other fall from grace. Backstabbing, gossip, rumours, works best on bringing each other down. I've done that before - I admit - so much so it became the crucial part of existence for me. And I can tell you, it is never better than telling the person straight in the face. Luckily, this habit has receded over the years, and now I try my best not to. Try. That means there's still abit to watch out for. Heh!
Maybe we don't want to feel guilty after scolding a person full frontal, or maybe we don't want to hurt a person - yet we don't like him/her. It is the reversed emotions we would feel on ourselves if we slander a person face to face that makes us backstab.
Teachers, there is no way you would get through your teaching career with a benign record.
And for that, that's why other students like you. It's all balance - karma.
