Hello Comprehensians!!!
Welcome back...I know you have been wanting to read and find out our latest posts and gimmicks here in Blogger..Well, 'been busy for a long period of time but i am still reading and always will be following your blogs guys!!So dont fail to update your blogs and Reflect this Selection I have compiled for all of us.It is a letter written by a famous former US President and I want you to read it carefully and tell the whole world what you can say about it.
A letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the Headmaster of a school in which his son was studying. It contains an advice, which is still relevant today for executives, workers, teachers, parents and students.
A WORD TO TEACHERS

"He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just and are not true. But teach him if you can, the wonder of books.. but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hillside.
In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fall than to cheat.....
Teach to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him he is wrong.
Teach him to be gentle with gentlepeople and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone getting on the bandwagon...
Teach him to listen to all men; but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... Teach him there is no shame in tears.
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to be beware of too much sweetness.. Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to highest bidders, but never to put a price on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob.. and stand and fight if thinks he is right.
Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient.. Let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will have faith in humankind.
This is a big order, but sees what you can do. . He is such a fine little fellow my son!
- Abraham Lincoln"

My First Day in Second Year High School

Another school year opens... and for Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School, all systems go!!! Classrooms were cleaned, facilities were checked, schedules were set and minute details were all taken cared of.
I am sure my students are ready to face another challenging year of their so called "first day high"... As a teacher for almost twelve years, students, parents and my co- teachers have their ways of telling you what I am inside the classroom.
The teacher turned disciplinarian is always mistaken as the Terrorist inside the classroom.No, I am not. It is just a stereo type thing on how I manage my class. I lay down the rules and it is up to the student on how she/he conceives it; I am always fascinated the uniqueness of each being inside the four walls of my classroom...hungry for that quest for knowledge and some are just there in their seats; the minds are somewhere in their respective fantasy/dreamlands...
Wishful thinking, you might consider it, but don't do it inside my class! For I mean business! and I believe that those brains capable of being filled with knowledge and ideals are sure way capable of coming in contact with Alzheimer's, so students...find ways to cure it, ok?
Fill those tummies with proper nutrition, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! That's the basic thing to do before coming to school. Good grooming and healthy hygiene too.
Well... let's get to know each other better by doing your first assignment online...Follow the instructions!
