Face–to–face With S.G –Part IV

My decade of service in education as a teacher has been both beautiful and demanding.

However, nothing significant has changed over the years despite a lot of push from government and relevant agencies. We are in the same old building, classrooms, assembly ground, labs, library, hostel and dining hall.

Summer goes by in the heat, sweating without a good working room fan, and winter is more severe with the broken windows and doors.

In such circumstances, students have all killer plans making them susceptible to smoking, drinking, chewing and other unproductive activities.

What compelled me to discuss this matter is due to some odd behaviors and manners I have seen over the years. We have His Majesty The King, His Holiness The Je Khenpo, and other National Symbols, yet our children idolizing Bob Marley, Marijuana Leave, and Rasta Colors define our weakness.

Arguably, Bob Marley, the most influential figure, was equally known for his love of Cannabis and Rastafarian faith. I am against all these cultures. One thing I know about is the one with this habit is the one who uses Marijuana and in most cases happens to be an addict.

If you happen to see anyone with a Rasta Color handkerchief, belt (kera), muffler, hat, shirt, arm band, and badges, they are into this cool-looking-kid circle. There are few exceptional cases at school, students using Rasta color (red, green and yellow) mixed sellotape to cover their books, you must follow their footsteps and watch them accordingly. It is a sign of Marijuana addict!

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your, I can is more important than your, IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?" "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
