I'M SUPPOSED 2 BE AT SCHOOL NOW...but i'm jus too lazy and tired to travel!..LAZYBUM!

I love work. It jus rejuvenates me and my whole aspects to life. I have a boy in MY SCIENCE PLAY class. He is 5 years old and loves to talk. He can talk about about anything and everything under the sun! HE'S VERY SMART! well, not that kids whu do not talk are not smart but the child must have confidence to express his/her ideas without having the fear of being put down. He never fears. When he says his ideas, he's so expressive, his hands keep moving!hahahaha..sadly, i only see him once a week and can only be with him for one and half hour!...he had done a drawing of 1 experiment!!he had drew the ball in an triangle shape and the pail in a hexagon pail. Well, i put a tick on the paper. When the mother came to pick him up, she waited for the rest to go home and she came into the classroom with him.

She did not seem happy. She asked me what is the project.I showed her the items we used. She asked her son, Why did u draw the ball and pail in shapes different from what you saw?! and she turned and asked me, Y didn't u correct him?!..I smiled and said, I APPRECIATE CHILDREN'S WORK, for me it does not have to be aestically pleasing. I believe in their own way of expression. The boy interuppted his mum in tears and asked her, IS IT WRONG TO BE CREATIVE?..she was shocked(so was i)...i did this way because i looked at the pail and the ball in a different way.I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE REST. mummy, adults get more pratical and less creative as they grow. I dun mind being different. I LIKE BEING ME!..HIs mum was dumb-founded and comforted her son with a hug. and she whispered slowly into his ears..I APPRECIATE U AND UR UNIQUENESS!.she smiled at me(TOOK DOWN MY NO.) and carried him out of my door. I had learnt a lesson dat day. TO APPRECIATE OTHER'S WORK AND NEVA PUT ANYONE DOWN BECOS WE R ALL UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. MY TEACHER WAS THE BOY WHO TAUGHT HIS MUM TO HAVE A OPEN MIND.

*sms from the mum:tchr devi, sorry if i had been rude to u y'day.I have neva looked at his werk from ur point of view and was ignorant of his feelings until y'day.he's feelin beta now and can't wait 4 class next sat.take care! big thanks!

AS A TEACHER, i learnt everyday how to teach better ,love and look at each child as god's best piece of creation. EVERY CHILD IN THEIR OWN WAY ARE OUTSTANDING AND GORGEOUS INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR OWN STRENGHTS AND INTERESTS!
