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!
