In both Armitage and Nursat High,
I have to admit that relatively, I spent more time in the garden or on the
basketball court than in the classroom, and I am not trying to be apologetic.
As a matter of fact, if I have to start all over again and under the same
circumstances, I will do the same shit.
Do you know why? BECAUSE I
believe in the fact that getting it and making use of what you’re being taught
is more important than a 100% classroom contact with #zero student engagement. The student I believe is supposed to make the
most of the classroom, by way of attention, unfettered curiosity,
optimism and passion, and not the classroom taking advantage of the student.
Trust me, before opening my
little grocer’s shop, I was a teacher for 6 months and resigned 3 times, so I
know what I am saying. You can spend donkey’s years in the classroom, adding
your beautiful bass voice to what’s being said, and still come out MuMu - don't
laugh, it is happening!
Yet you wonder why some of us are
rolling in academic circles with no academic sense; creating topics to
discreetly brag about the Diplomas that we “bag”. In fact I don’t like that
‘bag’ word even though it implies ‘taking possession of’.
I believe a qualification is not
supposed to be ‘bagged’, it has to be shown in the way you act, your
non-judgemental attitude finely tuned; you don’t have to say you have it for
people to know it, leave that to the rappers, yours should noticeably enhance
the way you function – no offense, it's the moment of truth!
