There is no doubt that some of my students are beginning to hate me. It was the first time that I made them stay behind after the bell had rung.

It's just frustrating when you know you've put in so much effort in preparing lesson and yet at the end of the day, everything just turns out to be but a big failure. Everything and everyone just seems to get in your way. I wonder if students ever do think about why most teachers lecture or reprimand them endlessly.

Up till this point, I don't know what is going to take them to practice self-control and sit still during my lesson. I have never understood why is that some people have the dire and ceaseless need to blabber on and on in class. Tak penat ke? Are the days of students paying attention in class and showing teachers a little bit of respect long gone? Or has that been a mere construct all along?

I never meant to be harsh to any of them.
