Tough Love

Dear All,

I apologize if I am keeping you after school to finish your homework. It's only because I care.

Sometimes I wonder whether my students know the reason why I do the things I do. My heart is a little bit heavy today. Well, maybe not a little. I don't know how to explain. As a teacher, when I see students who don't be the best they can be, I am sad.

Today when students didn't do their homework and I had to tell them to stay after school, I felt heartbroken. I really don't want to keep you after school. Really. I have many things to do. I just want you to know the importance of homework.

Reading is the fastest way to improve your English and grammar.

Please understand that I just want you to read. I just want you to try. I just want you to see how amazing you can be.

Reading all your reflections has made me reflect.

  2. Ms.Chan,
    You are a really nice teacher who always care of students.
    I think you try your best to communicate better with students every day.
    You shouldn't say sorry to anyone.
    I think the student who not does his homework should says sorry to himself.
