If students have got used to loud reprimanding
They will only respond to loud reprimanding
and not to soft speaking of my kind
nor respect the person who soft speaks to them
And loud reprimanding is forming them as slaves
and in turn
forms teachers as slave drivers
Under such relationship
all openess will be killed
Is that why most of my good senior students don't speak to me heart to heart
They are not vocal and will not take part in discussions or the establishment
And lazy students are incooperative in class and extra-curricular activities which require student and teacher talk except in ball games which dont require much talk -
slaves' game
School has become a place for teachers to make money and students to get a certificate
Quite instrumental, souless and demoralizing
No wonder capable students who have a lively soul want to go.
And when F6 students were given a post to be creative, cannot churn anything out
Yes they perform well as A getters, prefects, prefect heads, guides, scouts and St John
helpers of slave driving, disciplinary forces, loneners, ball players
But ask them to initiate something
Open hearts, unlock doors
Still a long way to go
A whole new world to colonize
a whole new world to create
you and me
It's like God breathing air into clay
and putting everything under them to let them rule
Will you play this game
