I asked my fifth graders to write about their favourite memory this year. I even used the trending term core memory for good measure.

This boy wrote: Mr Heng shouting (favourite theacher) and camp. 🙂

I’m honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as the Primary 5 camp aka the supreme highlight of their primary school existence. Zero mention of his on-again, off-again girlfriend!

His spelling error also broke my heart a little bit and reminded me of the purpose of us public school educators. To work for the benefit of average children coming from typical households.
