Personal feelings
John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
How true..sigh..been feeling down since yest, and you can say i am wandering around in darkness. Yea, really very confused over recent stuff which is secret.
Now i waiting for my group mates to arrive, really feel like giving up everything, when i mean everything, it is everything.
Is this what you would call mild depression?
Came across this article in new paper (05/12/2007)regarding a pri sch Teacher shop-lift something due to stress level (unable to cope with stress) which set me thinking. The replies of prinicials and parents commended that "It's how you manage time and stress".
For goodness sake!! Everyone should know what is the demand how in SG. Giving of a 100 percent effort is not enough, put in another 20 and some even expect "200percent" work rate.
Not to mention in Teaching career, you are bombarded with 30+ students with a high chance of "Heck-care" attitude towards studies or worse, rebellious streak in them. No wonder they say that Teaching is a Noble job. Not to mention that the parents are pampering their child with so "much" love.
Looking back to the past, whoever owns an mechical pencil is considered to be very rich, nowadays, i can see pri sch child (some look like kinergarden) playing with PSP.
What about the parents expectation of the child?
They wan results, Straight As in studies. What about the character development of the child?
I dun think having CME lesson in sec sch or Character Development in poly is going to work, ultimatly it is the environment that mould a person.
PARENTS! Big MNC...Yes.. you are the ones..you are the ones that push teachers to the end and making them numb.
Oh how true of the verse, that the ppl are walking in darkness. Sigh, hope to walk in the light soon.
*Disclaimers: The above is my personal feeling regarding the stress in Sg. if you find the above post offensive, pls do not come to my blog.. NO THANKS.
