To the stars, on the wings of a pig..
Oh how I giggled when I read this- I was looking through lists of Latin phrases to use for my latest entry and there it is.. Combines my love of stars (and, by extension, science) as well as my sense of humour, I regularly make the statement "pigs might fly" when I doubt that something might happen!
This post isn't going to have anything much related to my teaching escapades , it's mainly to break a dry spell..
I returned to work last Monday 23/5 after 8 weeks on maternity leave, it was nice to be back.. Although I miss my baby terribly. My students apparently missed me while I was gone, that made me feel appreciated- inflated the old ego too, helped me to focus on serving my students even better than before- it may even involve a little but of tough love!
Sigh- reporting is coming up again soon- my next post may very well be related to that topic- or, maybe not!
One thing I heard the other day were some stats on how many students there were in China- As well as how many students actually graduate from school here in Aus.. It was scary to think about it! China is going to be ahead of the crowd academically, that could have so many ramifications for the future- how on Earth can I get that through to these kids that only care about reading tripe on Facebook instead of working and studying hard?? Guess I shall have to pray about it. In the meantime, when I hear students whinge about why do they have to learn maths or science I could very well tell them it might mean the difference between choosing to speak Chinese or having to speak Chinese as a first language!
That's it for now
