Farewell from Macpherson

Farewell gifts. I got a bottle of green tea from (argh i'm smacking myself for forgetting his name), that guy in 3D, Lumont chocolate muffin from wayne, alvin and ivan, Van Houten from Violetta(she's really the sweetest thing haha), Kinder Bueno from one of the girls from 3D... i cant rmb who... either an li or V again. And a mysterious bodywash pack appeared on my table today... i dont know who gave it but i'm claiming it as my own anyway.

It has really been an amazing eye-opening experience teaching at Macpherson. Growing up in such a sheltered environment, i've never gotten exposed to most of the stuff these kids are used to. Coming from a single sex school where elitism is a well debated topic, i really learn alot from my time in a co-ed neighbourhood school(no offence here guys). When its never about learning but about getting an education. When it sometimes get to the point of discipline and not teach. When sticking to the schedule is an amazing feat. I found it difficult to follow the weekly plan and when the kids actually learn its a helluva achievement. Mrs Ho Wai Lin was an inspiration. My methods and mannerisms in class were almost fully emulated from our sec 3/4 classes. Its really a respectable job you're doing Mrs Ho.
