Days Without Internet

A genius decided that it would be both fun and profitable to steal the phone line cables and voila, he did and the phone line and internet got cut for a couple of days. Though I can understand as to why he/she/they did it, but still how could he/she/they do that?! That’s totally unethical whatsoever!

Anyway, back to the topic. These few days I had experience the pure bliss and joy of teaching Maths, Add Maths to be exact. Oh the joy in seeing your student understanding the concepts and doing the exercises given like a pro, brings unexplainable joy and satisfaction to the teacher’s heart.

Of course you can sense the amount of sarcasm I put in to the previous paragraph. Being a teacher is no fun if your student doesn’t understand the simplest of concepts and also fight/argue with you with every trivial thing the student comes across. Stubborn students are the worst kind. They stubbornly defend their point of view even though it is clearly wrong and also will not accept the answers/reasons you give them. They will keep questioning the teacher until they are satisfied that the teacher accept their answer.

Tiring, isn’t it? I am so glad I abandoned my ambition to be a teacher years ago.
