To all the ‘Chers of Singapore, hope you’ve enjoyed the cutesy gifts and cards from your students, some of whom probably took precious time off their prelims studies to make them.
A shame really … the timing of this day, since it’s not even a common date across the world to begin with.
May you be rejuvenated by the recognition and homage you deserve, for your monumental effort in this era of rebellious internet-enabled students, elaborate lesson plans, multiple CCAs, and lengthy torturous staff meetings … a time when we all acknowledge that teaching has become increasingly challenging, especially if you’re one of those who joined the profession simply to teach.
Nonetheless, here’s wishing all ‘Chers a Happy Teachers’ Day!

Miss Loi: No, the ingrates of my school didn't get me anything. BAH. I did get a generic note from the Student Council, but they spelt my surname wrong! Grr!!!

Carrie, the priority of the cutest of the cutesy cards should go to the real teachers. They deserve it more, especially with the intense educational climate that has evolved in recent years.
We tutors are just students' supplementary vitamin intake 🙂

Awwww Hai~Ren please don't feel this way.
Perhaps you're still new to the students, and they don't really quite know what to present to you. Perhaps some students are just not into showing their appreciation in an open emo way.
Have been reading about teachers lamenting the lack of gifts and wishes from their students.
Whatever the case, it's the daily bonding that matters. Wishes can be empty and like their Valentine's Day counterpart, some Teachers' Day gifts might be more appreciated by the merchandisers instead. Think you'd rather not have stuff like that would you?

And thanks for stepping off your highway once again to drop by here, HB.
But you better get back quickly. Your car cannot be parked at the expressway shoulder for too long, wait you get summoned by the TP!
