Sorry, not to be offended, but I feel nowsdays because so many workloads and long working hours for teachers (same to workers in other fields), teachers are different to teachers back to our days. Nowadays, some teachers just treat it as a job, then who suffers? It's our kids.
Also schools are very politics, and education now become so commercialised.
My mum's fd & her hubby were teachers, they told us that they needed to socialise with the headmaster (playing majong). May be we are just too naive!!!
