"Jesus said: You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." (John 15:16)

Who gave me the ultimatum? I am now a tyrant.

So about the rough patch...

I am grateful of the dispute yesterday, because it made me reflect on the fact that I am not doing what I want. I o not wat to stress my kids out, I do not want to be a mean teacher, I do not want to belittle my kids etc.

So, we had a survey today about our progress in the classroom. I put in an extra question at the very end asking the students to state a few factors that caused them to lose interest/ concentration in English class.

90% of my kids said: when the teacher was angry, when the teacher was scolding us, when the teacher puts up a frustrated face (muka mood) ):

What a transition. I was Cikgu Banyak Senyum and now I am Cikgu Muka Mood ):
