Judgement Day

Results Day. Mine was a good 11 years or so ago. Don't recall having any emotions. It was just another day for me, maybe cos I knew I wasn't going to do well anyway. Back then I didn't expect 11 years later I would have another results day, albeit of a different kind... this time awaiting 58 results and at the other end of the table - the one giving out the slips.

So I went to school excitedly, rather worried cos' I have quite many students who have never passed GP in their 2 years. Not a good stat for sure. To cut the long story short, the results were pretty good (I speak for my classes only), 14 distinctions (= 24% of my students) and 2 failures (one S and one U), the guy who got S was very unexpected. Thought he could at least manage a B. Nonetheless, I'm very happy cos' the rest all passed, including those who i aforementioned who have never passed. phewww. Thank God man.

But not everyone left with happy faces. Some of them were teary and some wept. Sigh I feel so sad for them, cos I know how darn hard they worked. It's almost like injustice.

Some of them came to me to show their appreciation, which I really appreciate, esp. when you can see how sincere they are. Sad thing is not many bothered to do that. Anyhow I wish everyone single one of my students the best in the road ahead. Pretty sad this will be the last time I might be seeing them, at least as a whole big group.


Teaching. I will return.
