41.2022 - Temporary farewells
I just had my last lesson with my first full class of Pure Lit students. I hardly ever upload pictures of me and students so this is a rare occasion. Heck, we got through 2+ years of the pandemic together, patiently navigating HBL and Zoom lessons together. This class has been an extra special bunch, just individuals after my own heart ❤️ They have been the best part of every week for the last 2 years. I will miss them terribly. I even got 2 packs of maggi noodles and a paper flower ring for gifts today. 🍜 eh where’s my coffee ah?

As I wish them well for their O Levels, I look back and recall the last 2 years with them (3 with some). This class had shown me and reminded me of why I got into teaching in the first place: to impart my knowledge and appreciation of the literary arts and nurture my students to do the same.
I don’t need them to get As (but try your best okay?). I only hope they leave secondary school with a greater understanding of human behavior and a genuine appreciation of life and the literary arts in their day to day. If they do, then I believe I’ve done my job as an educator. We’re not here just to teach to the test, or to stuff your brains with information. At the end of the day, aren’t we also trying to teach you to be better people?

This is the first class that almost triggered tears as I said goodbye. 🥹 @stiinkith had the perfect idea for a farewell (standing on their tables and yelling “O Captain! My Captain!”) but thank goodness they didn’t carry it out because that WILL make me cry. So for the first time since ever, they loudly yelled, “Thank you Ms T and have a nice day.” Well, thank you, too. Thank you with all my heart. ❤️
