How time flies, even though I am already on long leave, my heart is still thinking about school. Very soon, we will reach the end of the semester in about 4 weeks time. On the very last day of each semester, we teachers will always buy presents or even treat [...]

i am feeling so bored and tired today. Maybe it’s because today’s Friday, maybe because my class appears lazy, maybe because i skipped my coffee this morning. I dunno the reason. There are aplenty.

One of the greatest headache for educators is handling student plagiarism cases. Time is wasted on interrogating students, finding copying evidences and writing of findings reports. Just like police interrogating criminals, pressing them to admit to their crime.

During my primary and secondary school life, i’ve always scored distinction for my Chinese language. Those were the times where Chinese words could be memorized straight from textbooks; and having come from a Chinese speaking family does provide me with advantages at my oral examinations.

“Yankumi” is back! A passionate teacher who did not give up even after being allocated a class full of terrible delinquents. Her Yakuza upbringing gives her the strength and fighting skills just adequate to control the students in the class.
It was motivating to watch this show as it relates to my passion. But if i [...]

How to capture audiences’ attention
How to ‘connect’ to your audience
How to make your presentation more interesting
