Being a teacher

It's been a month and a couple of weeks since I've been a teacher in my primary school. It hadn't been easy, or rather I'll say it can never be. Kids are cute, adorable, but when it comes to educating them, you need to be really serious to them, especially when you have to face about forty kids at once, which only makes it harder. They are still too young to understand the importance of education, so its just simply useless to tell them why are they studying. Hence, in order to keep them under control, you know, kids, that canes come in. Of course, I've resorted the milder way, but it didn't turn out fruitful, and to be efficient in finishing the course, I too, had become one of those who turned to using cane.
I don't really thought I would be using it so frequently, but sometimes I just have to, against those more than just mischievous kids. However, myths do happen. Some of my co-workers just doesn't seem to need to punish to make the kids listen to them, maybe the aura around them are scary enough. But whichever way it is, it does take quite a lot of skills to be a teacher, because mere patience isn't enough to change somebody, or you might not live long enough to see it. There are a lot of fun in teaching kids, but don't ever think of doing it just because its a job, do it only for the sake of those kids, and that, is a truth for a good teacher.
