As an old saying goes: I won't forget how you say to me, but i'll always remember how you made me feel. (actually i don't know if it's an old saying plus i don't know the exact line)

This is really what happened. I don't exactly forget what people did to me, but i remember how i feel over them.

Since yesterday was teacher's day, i shall just write this post about teachers. It's not going to be a thank-you post dedicated to the wonderful teachers who had taught me, it's going to be how a teacher had made students feel, and how it impacted their lives.

I'll start with the negatives. I really don't like it when teachers become students' nightmares, especially primary school teachers. They rule you and make you afraid, and restrict your actions and find faults with you. And then they bitch about you in such an obvious manner that even you understood it when you were young. These are horrible teachers. I read a STOMP post about this group of teachers making fun of a special needs students. I think they have no rights to be teachers. I know you're going to say teachers are humans too and stuff. The thing is, they are, but their actions show otherwise. They, who students trust and needed to confide in, are actually the evil ones. This is really how much impact a teacher can give to a student.

But of course, many teachers are really nice. Some are directly nice. They never scold, never bitch but try their best to get you to work hard. And then there are those who always scold, always nag, make students hate them, but did what they felt was the best for the students. You can literally feel their care and passion in what they are doing. These teachers move the students forward. They make the students feel like they are not alone, and they always have a caring shoulder to lean on. Call me naive or whatever, but i feel that this is the positive impact teachers give to students.

Thank you, all the teachers who have brought positivity into my life :)
