kids kids kids *almost getting enough of them*

woke up with a pounding headache, the sort I get when I drink too much the night before. I did not touch even a drop of alcohol, so I figured I might be falling sick. Doc diagnosed it as a headache but I am supposed to keep monitoring for more symtopms. It must be the rain on Sat, having to remain in wet attire between 830p.m. to 1030p.m. plus the durians and prata yesterday. I was already feeling a slight headache from yesterday afternoon but this morning was bad.

My kids gave the trainee teacher a bad time according to her. Sigh. Kids kids kids. Sometimes, when I look at the primary school kids all around Singapore, I can't help but feeel that that is the reason why I need a break from teaching. They are the only ones who can drain my patience dry and yet not change for the better. Maybe they will , but not in my lifetime. Parents are mostly to be blamed. They allow their children to do what they like. Of course kids will do what they enjoy, be kept occupied and the parents will see their kiddos as angels. When it comes to bad learning behaviour, the parents will push the responsiblity to teachers and the school counselors. In the past 2 months, I have had parents telling me " I can't control him at home. I have already told him this and that but he still does not listen. Can you scold him for me?" " Teacher, please go ahead and cane him, he's not afraid of me." "Teacher, can you send him to see the school counselor. I really don't know what to do with him." " Teacher, she doesn't do as I say, can you please talk to her?" BIG SIGH. In a school setting, sometimes they can't just do as they like at their own timing, that's when they rebel. Maybe I should start up a biz and teach parents how to manage their kids. So needed.
