I feel like teachers are heroes within society. At different phases of my primary and secondary education life, I've met a few special teachers that have inspired me to be more than I can be with their jokes, stories and advices. We all owe enormous debts to our teachers for who we are now in life, especially if we find ourselves doing good. It's a pity that we kids don't realise how special the teachers are and our time in school until we are done with it. Keep doing your thing bro, keep inspiring people!

However, we all need to realize that each person has different views on this. I have been in private institutions and companies for 9 years and i regret that i have wasted my 9 years serving private sectors. The workload and risk is unbelievably high. Not only teachers, I too brought work home and most of the time, had to come to work on Saturday and Sunday. Holidays are only on public holidays. To my surprise, when I become a teacher, all the work is far lesser than I had. In fact, I finished my school work during that half day. I believe, we need to enjoy our work. I don't mind spending extra time with students or attend to their activities after school hours. At times, yeah we receive pekeliling and instructions from JPN. But it is part of the job. Imagine myself who received instruction directly from the CEO before, any minor mistake I did, I risk losing my job. I was working in fear. There isn't any real security in my job. The salary increment is super duper slow and is always unable to compensate the workload we did. Although fate is true, but i believe it was myself who chose to be a teacher. On the other hand Cyril, I agree with you that teaching in school is indeed a challenging profession and should not be looked down by others. We are the ones responsible to shape our future generations. And until today, i respect all my ex-teachers for making me who i am today. <strong> [Cyril] <em>Yes, everyone has their own opinion bro. Parents view things differently, as well as teachers themselves. Even teachers in rural schools, and town schools have different opinion. I appreciate your feedback, and let us now work to make people understand what the profession is all about.

Yes, everyone has their own opinion bro. Parents view things differently, as well as teachers themselves. Even teachers in rural schools, and town schools have different opinion. I appreciate your feedback, and let us now work to make people understand what the profession is all about. At least, to kill those ’sentiments’ which say that Teachers relax only.

I don't bother to dress up nicely unless occasion calls for it, I go clubbing - dancing, singing and listening to good singers - that's my favourite pastime...but be yourself! The students can see through the hypocrisy, the pretentiousness and all that. Once you're a teacher with integrity, when it comes to work, you put in your whole heart and soul, you can never go wrong! Your students will respect you, you do not need a cane at all...and when they do well in life (not just in exams!), you share their happiness..... Too much to put everything down in words, so I'll just stop here! <strong>[Cyril] <em>Yes.. I agree with you... so much</strong></em> In many ways, you’re like me.
