Insight from the school picnic

During the past few weeks, I have been feeling really tired in motivating students. It is easy to explain. F.6 students at this school have started to feel at ease with each other, and the "judgement day" is still far away. They have a general feeling that it is not necessary to study. Then came the picnic day, I haven't actually been able to feel like one of them for a long time. The picnic actually gave me the experience. I think teachers actually have to immerse themselves in the students' social circles before they can fully understand their problems. There is still a long way to go yet.
