Hi ForumWriter, just curios, are you in London now?

ForumWriter:

I must admit ignorance on one part though: I'm still wondering why you are so anti-teacher. Please enlighten me on that one.

Because I am one. You really need to read with comprehension. I really feel very bad telling you this. It is not because you are a match that I choose to ignore you, but it is because you remind me of the many first year undergrads that I teach, and I feel bad putting you down. Educators don't put people down like that.

So, instead of arguing with you, I choose to ignore you, hoping that one day, you will come to your senses yourself. Now is not the time, you are too far away from where I am, young man.

Go re-read everything you post. You misread almost every single thing, and choose to interpret everything as you deem fit. Respect is something we should give each other. I don't detect it, I don't need to respond. I am already giving face typing this out patiently.

I have never attacked you directly and you have never bothered to explain what I have interpreted wrongly.

This post is effectively saying \"You're not fit to post here, get lost and grow up\". I thought you were strongly against your son for being arrogant?

This is a forum, a place to discuss issues in an intellectual manner. Not to attack people and dismiss others' points of view without explanation.

Also, being a teacher is not a reason for one to be anti-teacher. In fact, I would have thought that a person should be proud of his/her profession and defend it - or if there is something lacking, he/she would take affirmative action so that he/she can be proud of the profession. Not simply criticise it.

ForumWriter,

Actually, I hate to see these unkind words.
We are here to learn from each other. I do understand that there are reasons for one to write something here. Each of us go through different stages in life and view things from a different angle. We cannot force anyone to accept what we have written or said here.
I know I'll get shooting for writing these. :rant:
But still feel a need to speak up.
I'll not comment anymore in this topic unless it is necessary. :sad:

Re-read every post again. And then write an essay to tell me how I have attacked the profession, in this format:
1. Topic sentence for each paragraph, write down how I attack the profession, quoting exactly my words and how you interpret that.
2. Support your views for each based upon your understanding.
3. Give a proper conclusion to your thesis.

You should learn to interpret things yourself, since you have clearly stated your credentials. At the tertiary level, we don't spoonfeed.

Remember what I said in a previous post in GEP about some vice-principal saying \"write me a report and get back to me on the findings\" instead of replying to the student during a forum? Déjà vu.

Trying to suppress others with \"credentials\" instead of explaining where I went wrong? I would like to reiterate: This is a forum. Rubbish cleaner, president, housewife from all walks of life are welcome here.

Does that mean as long we aren't university professors, we have no right to talk on equal terms and find out more from each other, because \"At the tertiary level, we don't spoonfeed\"?

Just out of curiosity, do you treat students this way too?

Another story: I used to be so anxious and try to explain to my girls how it is like to be a mother: the 9 months' pregnancy, the breastfeeding, the joy and heartaches of bringing up a child. Then, I realized they found me boring and irritating at times. Then, it occurred to me that they were not even teenagers. How can I expect them to understand what it is like to go through pregnancy or motherhood.


Now that my girls are in their teens, they suddenly find a lot of interests in these topics and will ask me about them. I can now share a lot more with them, and they treasure my thoughts so much more. There is always a right time to share the appropriate things. Sometimes, we have to wait for the child to grow up so that they can empathize and understand. There is a right time for everything under the sun.
