Hi MESS, hope that u're doing well....and Ramadan kareeem,

   i would recommend u to value more everything that makes you happy and delightful, including the beings, concepts and objects. :)....have a blessed ramadan 

Thank you, my friends, Isaac, Saladeen, Yulia and Reader.

To me, being valued by others - those who are near and dear to my heart - is very important. I cherish their closeness, friendship and presence in my life with my whole heart, and naturally, I expect the same concern from them. A sense of concern shows that they care for you and it empowers the mutual bonds. But we do not have to be close to each other to show it. Sometimes we have to be away from the people we love, but it does not mean we love them any less. Distance enriches the bonds, in constrast, as with my childhood friend who studied in a distant city, far from home. We kept calling each other at first but as she and I got busier, our calls became less. This year, we did not talk to each other in 3 months. She returned last week, and we met. No matter how many months we do not hear our voice, the moment we meet, it is just like we were always together. We never feel alienated. Instead, we feel way much closer. I do love her a lot like my real sister, and she puts a lot of value on me, as I do. We know that even if we do not speak in a whole year, our hearts are still connected. 

Consequently, I agree that proximity does not provide value all the time. Being connected at heart brings about love, respect, happiness, and value. But it is all about giving and receiving in the end. 

Have a value-able day today! 

"Like"

That's very interesting notion of your blog.

 I think to apreciate the value of less you have to plunge into more firslty.

As for me I  cannot live without an intimate friend. we are not afraid to bother each other and even show our negative emotions and attitudes to each other actions,

 At the same time I have some friends   who  come to me once a month or even rare , we can have an enjoyble time but still I think that  the true freind is close to you  and knows all your ups and downs. I think your true friend is much more than a sister. It s a sister by soul and spirit.

My ideas are bit different, Okay, let me shoot straight to the question.

Value, less or more?

Neither less nor more, rather value is based on understanding.To put it simple: The more understanding you have the less you need to talk, and greater the distance the more briskly you walk.

Some of my best friends (in my real life) don't talk to me for ages but I always keep them in my instances, and in my prayers, I have no doubt they do the same, and whenever chance get us connect again, we again cheerish one another like we were never apart.

...................................

In the beggining, we try to evaluate a person, we are curious who we are talking to, we get some understanding, we make friendship, trust grow, more and more day after day, and after having perfect understanding, we don't need words, for friendship is greater than words.

I treat my best friends like I treat myself, and I don't need to pampered them with excessive words,if they came to me  as my guests (sometimes) at my home, I treat them like my family members. I don't throw a huge banquet or feast in their honor, for I know they feel comfort while I take less care of them, and vice versa.

To the contrary, if I invite some new friends for a dinner or a lunch at my home, I want to throw a feast or banquet in their honor, and vice versa.

New ones deserve a feast and old ones deserve a trust.     

Welldone!!! You should be proud of himself-I,m for you.

Wonder,from what time I could pass an English exam if you would be an examinator?

I wish you to be successful  in all spheres of your life. Good luck!

Hello Moriza,

I do completely agree with you. Being a teacher is not only about teaching subjects or controlling students in the classroom. Being s teacher is beyond that. I see it more like nurturing a person, englightening one's mind and shaping one's characteristics by showing rights and wrongs. 

I have a 10th grade student who kept chatting away in the lesson and he annoyed his friends, too, especially those who tried to listen to me attentively. I warned him a few times in the classroom. I asked other teachers how he was in their lessons and they said that he talked too much. I did my best to catch his attention during the lesson but it did not work. Two weeks ago, he really pushed my button with his indifference to what I was saying, and distracting his friends. I told him to get out of the classroom and think by himself outside the room so that he would realize his mistake. At the end of the lesson, I had a private talk with him. I made it clear that he was actually a good student and I did not want to lose him. I did not really want to send him away, but he left me no other chance. If he kept behaving that way, I would really get worried... He felt truly sorry for what he did. He repeated three times that he was terribly sorry and he would never disappoint me again. There has been a remarkable improvement in his manners since then. He even surprised me with his mark. He is all silent and ears in my lessons now, attentively listening to me and asking questions. I feel truly happy. I earned him. 

A teacher is someone who touches the children,s hearts forever,remains happy memories and gives good examples for futher life.

You guide them,,teach them,encourage,motivate them to overcome all hardships and difficulties  and in such a way to fulfill their potencial.You have to be a parent,a counselor in all spheres of life,a mentor,a loyal friend,a curriculum manager and consultant,an enhancer,aor,a  faciliator,a specialist in all subjects,a cultural coach,a personal adviser...

I,d like to close with the words by Marla Collins "I,m a teacher.A teacher is someone who leads.There is no magic here.I do not walk on water.I do not part the sea.I just love children."

 Be patient and tolerant! Stay healthy and keep fit!

hey Mess

How about this visit will cost you a startling amount of money that only a full-time employed teacher could afford, otherwise it'll literally cost anyone else an arm ; you just dubbed me a Doctor, so I'll get my arm if need be ;). Stop half-doing it and be a teacher fulltime ;), hehe ... only joking, ok?

Snoopy,

Earning a full time position as a teacher... Hmmm, I want to hear more convincing words. What is your advice, doc? 

Kids have instinctive abilities to absorb foreign languages rather quickly so that'd make your task easier.

This is a very nice blog it kind of reminds me of this film called " Kindergarten Cop" without the dramas ;). This is the kind of Teacher-Students relationship I like to read about, not the ones about the new and anxious teachers who get pelted with paper balls everytime they turn to face the board ;).

Have fun, Mess and keep up the good work, you may earn yourself a full-time  position ;) wouldn't it be great?

Aliazer,

It is very nautral to feel that way. I find nothing wrong with that, but it bothers me to see teenagers get lost in the middle of a love turbulence. They feel like love is everything but there is reality out there and they have to face it sooner or later. It is always the best option to let them live and learn on their own, though. :)

Jo,

Thanks a lot for this fresh flower! It charges me for the day. :)

h e l l ooooooooooooooooo

now I will try ist again

to send some flowers to you

hope, no one will  steel them or they didappear

be happy

and smile, because i do it to you

Hi MESS,

  hh, me too i sometimes come across such incidents during the courses, one day i was moving around the classroom scrutinizing my ss's copybooks and i found one guy wrote in his book "SAMIRA" (name of a girl) with big letters and decoration, i told him, what's that this is not supposed to be here, u might have a girlfriend but don't make such mess in ur materials...then the guy (nearly 21) told me that he's going soon to marry that girl "samira" ..i said what!!!! u're going to get married , u 're still immature for that, he said my family and i have decided and arranged things. then i give him the best wishes, after that whenever he enters in my class he used to look at me with miles of smiles .

  u know i do all the time encounter such incidents ...but i just pass over i already know that this particular age (17,18..21) is the period in which the tow opposite sexe start to experience such feelings.................take care 

Hi Aliazer,

I get your points. People who want to fulfill their duties perfectly think as deeply as you do. I am also the same way as you are. It is not so good, indeed, because it puts so much burden on my shoulders. Sometimes I feel really overwhelmed, but I can handle it. :)

Today I witnessed a very sweet event in my class. Two of my students, 12, are staring at each other flirtatiously. I caught their secret looks. Both of them got blushed, but I pretended as if I did not really get it. It is so cute, but a bit sad, too, because they cannot concentrate fully as they keep looking at each other most of the time. Yet their love is so pure and innocent. It puts a smile on my face to see them just like that. :)

Do you experience such events in the classroom? :)
