to be honest, i'm quite amused by the reactions of my classmates to the precociousness and intellectual arrogance displayed by those GEPs. Then again, not everyone has suffered GEPs (aside from giving it to them) during their educational journey thus availing themselves the necessary tools to interact with them let alone deal with them. to my classmates who were traumatised in whatever ways by the recent events that transpired that fateful thursday morning of late, kids will be kids whatever their age so let them be. and as someone (was it small Alvin?) who rightly pointed out, that kids of whatever ability and station in life, do need a teacher. so the next time, you're accosted by a GEP or a GEP-wannabe/has-been, just remember: I can teach, but can you learn?
thus here's one for the road:
"Students are all guinea pigs in the teacher's laboratory
Learning is just a work in progress."
adapted from Tennessee Williams: Camino Real, Block xii (1953).
Yo, more pics needed here to spice things up! Some bikinis will be ideal
Leaving my mark behind to prove that i did come and look see to show support.
