Honestly I feel bored quite often.

My kids are 2 and 6, and waiting for them to finish doing something induces boredom. As of this moment, I am watching them play at the playground while trying to persuade them to go home lol

Thanks, mate, for making things clear for me. If you put it like this, I’m definitely culpable

Yes, I have been. And your words are like a balm for me.

I went back to work today. Reading the written warning was easier than I had expected. I think my wounded pride can start to heal!

Thanks again

Thank you for leaving a comment! I feel less alone!

I think I’m gonna lose

The little boy looks so peaceful sleeping there

Thanks for reading and for your comforting words.

Well I don’t exactly regret what I did, but I feel sick to my stomach because I might have compromised my job prospects for my children - all because of students whom I hardly know. Haha

Wow 24 hours. That’s fast.

I thought I had gotten over it, but I am moping again haha

What are you doing now, and in hindsight, do you think your life has worked out for the better?

I hope you got decently remunerated!

How come you could spot these two lines of code when others couldn’t?

Your best is yet to come

Thank you for your perspective. It makes me feel better!

Yup I will keep on teaching them - but with less fierceness, I guess haha

I received the second comment as well. My Reporting Officer reported that some colleagues had reservations about whether I was engaging my students enough. But I think sometimes when I sit at the centre of the classroom to teach my classroom, this is when I have their absolute attention haha

Did your students have to sit for the exam again?

Thanks for being gentle with me! I guess a written warning isn’t so bad in the grand scheme of things!

I actually don’t think standing for 30 mins constitutes as corporal punishment, but I have learnt! Thanks for understanding where I am coming from - I do think kids need to be intimidated sometimes

Agreed. I know I have to repair the relationships with my students

Wives wear the pants everywhere

Unfortunately, my country doesn’t function like this haha

I think we need more ADHD people to become educators so that they can pioneer this alternative approach to educator. But I think people who are officially diagnose with ADHD may not find it easy to get teaching jobs. (Don’t quote me though, because I’m not 💯 sure. Haha)

Your mind is so mathematical haha

Yes, it makes so much sense. Thanks for chipping in
