Faint signal

Several people have asked me if I'm still alive in cyberland, or if I have migrated my blog to some secret hideout.

"Blog fatigue," I told them.

I'm simply exhausted. But not to the extent where I'll shut down my blog - yet.

I'm just sending out a faint signal for now, to say that I'm still here, still teaching, still trying to be super-mum. Still trying to stay sane in the midst of the O level results frenzy, setting targets for this year's graduating students, counseling students, and trying my darndest to stay motivated and uplifting in this crazy world.

On another note, to those who lambasted the famous Principal who gave her now immortal words to her Sec 5 students, perhaps this quote may make you think a bit about another possibility which is not necessarily better:

"We schoolmasters must temper discretion with deceit." Evelyn Waugh

I shall not say more. It is a tough job trying to motivate kids who don't want to study. Let those who have tried teaching a neighbourhood school cast the first stone.
