Might of the Pen


by: Thomas Villegas

Teachers always say that they are merely the pen that that records a students grades and that students are the hand that guides it.

Nonetheless they [teachers] are also the brain that decides how the hand should move. How a student performs in class is a product of the information and instruction teachers give out.

If the mind daydreams, the hand waders off, doodling nonsense and inevitably leaves the pen to do something else (teachers who are incapable breed apathy and produce students who see school as a waste of time).

If the mind is angry the hand clenches to form a fist and after pounding the table, the hand fiercely, unwillingly, and illegibly writes down all the exasperations felt (overstrict and tyrannical teachers breed grudges and produce students who see education as a social injustice).

So the next time your teacher scolds you for your poor grades in class. Don't sweat. Your just giving back the wrong things they taught you.... :P
