Model Teachers - Problem of the TWO worlds

It is very difficult to be the MODEL teacher in the eyes of the world. It is the edge of TWO worlds : the students and the colleagues. Just toady my class was making noise and the teacher tells me that the students are so because I am lenient. Not that I am against the teacher, but is it my fault that the teacher cannot control her students. I thought she was on a substitution, and it turned it was her class. Oh God!!!! When I heard this the next day I was infuriated. My class asked her if she would teach and she said NO, so they started talking, resulting in them getting their PT class cancelled!
My students are very happy with me because I like to give them Freedom and Experiment for them to really Learn and be truly in the world, not the bookworms.
This concept was not taken very gracefully by any of my superiors where I worked. But now when I've left, they understand what I meant to the students. Its great that at-least where I am now is giving me the freedom to teach how I want and the students enjoy the extra bit of information I am able to give them. The colleagues though feel differently! Well i guess I can never change! I love children and that can never change!
Well on that I can and hope I will never change, God Willing, of course!

In Retrospect

So much to say, no words today What can i do, my life just gray Wanted to paint the rainbows of life Turned to see, my heart in strife. Where do I go? Where shall I hide? My eyes well up at the thought in tides! What answer does my heart seek in its grief His love made me full in this time brief.. He has no answers to what my mind asks The heart in his love wants to bask Little does he know, what my life has been It has plunged into murk from all the sheen I wish today in tears for two hearts, I would have still danced to Mozart But God decided to give me just one He sits high up there, has fun. His words pierce like dagger through the soul Like feet on a stony path, in a ragged sole Praying for his love shield, I cried, I begged I knew, this path only to my grave led. Heart writhing in pain doesnt speak Just lets out a little squeak All is well I say to the broken pieces This is all the work of Iblees That day will come, when he will the exp...

FOUR WALLS - 1

Living for years in the solitude of my being, Listening to the jargon of my feud internal, All I want is to break free from the shackles, All I want is to be free, natural! What shackles cannot be broken? What shackles cannot be undone? All that rises in the mist above the earth, Beautiful rainbow, the prism of the sun. The duality of my being, happy painful existence, The rigour of life saps away continually, cruelly, A smile covers the remnants of war raging within, The miscellany of a life lived rashly, dangerously. I hear shrill voices, calling out from the depths of Hades, The bugle within blares, the war cry sounds, With all might, the heart trudges on, The battle is not over, the tussle will go on. How far can I travel, a prisoner of time gone by? The weight of time heavy on my shoulders lies, Winding the clock to the moment of wreckage, Among the strewn ashes of my fate I lie. The Phoenix within reaches out for the sk...

Whispers

I have the baton in my hands, To save, to care, to nurture. I have the baton in my hands, To nourish, flourish the future. I hold the future in my palms, To grow, to show, to learn. I hold the future in my palms, To love, to give, to discern. I have the light shine in my eyes, To lead, to glow, not follow. I have the light in my eyes, To truth, no lies, bright tomorrow I hear the voice in my ears, Advise I need to listen. I hear the voice in my ears, Strength to travel the distance. I feel strength flow in my feet, To walk the path to greatness. I feel the strength flow in my feet, Taking me closer to (self) awareness A sense of calm in my heart, To suffer, to endure, be brave. A sense of calm in my heart, To experience, to encounter, to sustain! I sense the awakening of my soul, To harmony, to calm, to quietude. I sense the awakening of my soul, To consciousness, to peace, to nirvana!
