Teacher’s statements (1) As a teacher, I don’t just instruct, I seek to inspire. Let us try to see the lesson from the learners’ point of view. Should they learn what they need to learn, or should they learn what we want to teach? I love my job as a teacher, there is never any regret joining this profession. I hope we will have a smaller class so that we can pay more attention to the need of each student. Ten years from now, as my students become adults, we shall still remain as friends. This is my wish as a teacher. Let us help our students to achieve greater flexibility of the minds by giving them more chances to think, form their opinions and express themselves..

Teacher’s statements (2) Creativity and imagination are more important than obedience in the classroom. Classroom teaching is a matter of relationship building. I cannot do anything unless the students trust me and enjoy my lessons. As a teacher, I must learn to be a good communicator. As teachers, we transfer knowledge and skills, but attitude is the most important subject in the curriculum. We learn from our students everyday, their ups and downs, their strength and weaknesses. Do we know how to handle them? Without education, we survive as beasts. With education, we have a chance to be human.
