To be remembered as a teacher because of singing
Whenever I read social media, many batches of former students would remember me as one who made them sing during breaks.
When they came back from oversea to visit me, we would go to Karoake joint to sing!
********
every comment
of them remembering me
is making them sing
*********
every short breaks
especially dry topics
and they loved it then
********
not because it’s fun
listening, talking to them
mine, would follow suit!
*********
I learned singing too
from these young school leavers, then
mutual agendas!

Being remembered for singing and making others sing has to be one of the very best legacies ever!

The young school leavers are fluent only in Malay language. If I communicate long enough with them in English, mine would have gone down the drain, too!
Teaching them in English was a challenge. So, singing only English songs is a strategy to improve their English. Surprisingly, they were pretty good when it came to singing English songs. Thank you for your comment, Geoffrey!
