A cry for help!

Over the years of my teaching, I meet various kinds of students who seem to to have their own minds and needs. These students, most of them are from generation Y who are known to be highly creative, imaginative and not to mention IT savvy. They love to speak their minds, have their own circle of friends, love to ask all sort of questions, love entertainment (esp. music), more open-minded (as compared to students during our days) and most importantly more competitive.....

hey, stop just there! I'm not going into the detail of generation Y....

Instead, I'm going to talk about my dear students....

 and this post is dedicated to all of you my students.....

I know that you guys are under a lot of pressures of late. What more with your Exam after Exam....

 the pressures form the parents, the teachers, the school, the society and the peers .....

And now when your SPM is dangerously near, you are supposed to be thinking of your studies and books and homework, not other things....BUT, I know (as you constantly grumble) you are human too, have your own thinking and feeling and mostly you need a BREAK.....you need to breakaway from your demanding student life, you want to do something that you want to do, not because somebody tells you to.....

There are times when you like to show your protest by writing ruthless comments on facebook and blog without thinking of the consequent of your statements. There are also times when you simply disobey the rules and do as you please ......I know you like to listen to your hearts and take actions without thinking...

That's why some of your friends are being kicked out of the hostel and taken disciplinary actions for their wrongdoings....then, a little too late, they would regret and plead for forgiveness...

Listen, my dear students...there is no teacher in this world who likes to punish their students thoughtlessly or see you get hurt. If they are ever being harsh to you, it is because they care for you, they want to teach you the true meaning of life. Life is not a bed of roses out there when you are out of school. I'm sure once you are out there on your own, you will treasure every little moment that you have experienced here. You will miss coming to school...

trust me..

Finally, my advice to you is to focus on your study at the moment. All other things are not relevant to you right now....do your best in your Pre-Trial and Trial Exams, ultimately your SPM...
