When I first started teaching, I hated it when I hear people calling my students 'stupid' or 'no hope'. In my eyes, there weren't bad students, only bad teachers who are unable to capture their attention and educate them properly.


No matter what, even if it's during relief teaching, I do not think that any teacher, trained or untrained, should call a student names- names that derogate them to the status of beasts.


When my student called the security guard 'dog', I reprimanded her in front of her friends (despite knowing that she hates losing face) and demanded her to apologise to the security guard. This type of name calling is immature and lame. So what if you're able to call someone a dog. Does that make you anymore human or the victim any less human? To think that you're someone who's here to inspire, care and lead.


Okay whatever. I'm no longer a teacher so I shouldn't poke my nose in the school's affair.


But really..
