Tribute to teachers

Was looking through my long-forsaken previous blog (with limited access cos back then was still teaching) and here's one of the posts, as a tribute to those brave combatants (Ernie, Cheryl!!) out there teaching. Teaching is a brave thing to do. It is.

Multi-faceted occupation of a Teacher

Educator

Administrator

Disciplinarian

Counsellor

Mediator
(between student-student or student-parent)

Nanny

CCA Coordinator aka Event Organiser

Debt collector/Loanshark
(for all the many times each year I had to literally hound, bug, pester students to pay up for so many miscellaneous items)

Police
(when I go hunting them down when they escape from my remedials, lessons. when I prowl the lecture halls to shut students up and wake sleeping logs)

Zookeeper
(when students turn animalistic, the details of which I shall not elaborate)

...the list goes on...
