Kids are no angels

Kids are no angels.

This is what I have concluded after almost a year of full time teaching.

I was baffled at how some teachers can comment about how sweet their students are and how they love kids.

Or maybe they are lucky and get all the nice children.

(Come on, you know it isn't true.)

I was quite taken aback at how the students now differ from the students back then.

In the past, whatever they teacher says, we wouldn't even breathe a second word and would do as told.

But now, they will always find all sorts of excuses to get away from what they were supposed to do.

And even talk back or challenge whatever you said.

Trying to be funny is it?

Actually I have been going through this emotional struggle 

I don't know how to strike a balance between being firm and nice to the kids.

I want to be nice to them but 

At times, I even blame myself for their rudeness.

Was it that I just not firm enough, that resulted in them " climbing all over my head"?

But when I tried to be fierce,  I was reluctant to hurt their feelings.

(Why should I even care when they made me angry in the first place)
 the most commonly used word during class must be
야 하지마라고 !(hey I said stop it hor )

I think this experience is good enough to prepare me when I become a mother next time.
