Consolidate Your Vision to Navigate through Challenging Educational Landscape

Image
The medias, both social and mainstream, is both frenzy and abuzz with the news of a teacher being implicated by court for using corporal punishment as a method to punish underachievement in academic outcome and as possible means to boost future performance. Although corporal punishment has been legally banned in education/ school, the practice still find its spot for numerous reasons. In my analysis, teachers personal belief system on half truths of educational theories and system induced stress on teacher performance tops the reasons for the existence of corporal punishment in schools.

Story of westbound love and eastbound traveler


Foothing all through,
The eastbound traveler
Banked his trust to the lone road,
Befriend soulful songs,
Went seeking alms,
Begging,
Improvished.
"Yes,
The gates are open
And I’ve what you seek
The space and warmth
Importantly
Time,"
She smiled, sweetened the air
Tossed her hair to right
Took him by hand
Opened the gate.
"For you
Always
Hereon,"
She said.
However,
She is bound to west
He knew what that mean
Though.
May be,
It will eat some peace off him
To accept
The fate,
The defeat,
The toothy sorrow.
Ultimately,
He may.
Yet,
That may gnaw some peace
Off his dear heart
 Painfully!
