Wanted to fetch my child at 5pm, but it turned out that he was having the time of his life at an outdoor background. Decided not to interfere with his inexhaustible need for play and trudged back to school. Actually, I wanted to go back to my cubicle to charge my phone, but in view of the fact that the fourth graders would have their final year exam the next day, I sauntered to their student care centre.

Once there, I opened my unique app and got four boys in my class to attempt the Grammar MCQs. I hope that my 15 mins of concentrated effort would lead to 1-2 more marks for some of them. Such is the work of a teacher - always scrambling for marks. 😭

Subsequently, I went back home with the son. Before I let him watch YouTube and consume brainrot content, I decisively got him to try 5 Vocab MCQs. So, technically I spent more time teaching other people’s children than my fresh and blood. But this isn’t a woe-is-me post. This is a post where I celebrate my resilience in straddling both ends of the candle.
