I don’t li.ko“homowork, I don’t think anybody does, but still if we don’t work wo don’t learn. Maybe it’s the toachors you dislike. Teacher; can be fun at times , that is if you keep on the good side of them. After all they are not ogres; they just ; pretend to be strict (at times). Some pupils always says the teachers always pick on me. Do they? Or do you just think thoy do? - Many pupils talk back to the teachers. They don’t moan to bo spiteful thoy just like to do it. Many pupils say, Why should I go to school? You can answer that by yourself. You go to school to loarn, after all, we tho pupils“of to¬ day are tho doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc. of tomorrow. So school is quite important oven though most of us don ' t like it. Nobody can be happy all“the time; problems of some kind will always come up, but chin up, you’ll live. If you have a grudgo against a certain teacher, hobody expects you to like him (or her) but does that mean you shouldn’t like any of the teachers? Be a sport. If you are asked, tc do something for your class or school, cooperate; don’t say ’no’ unless you can’t do the job you have been r .asked to do. • . » . Get along with your classmates. Don’t think you are better than anyone and eveiyonQ. • » Join in games, don ' t sit out because you think ”ou can’t do as well as your friends. How do you know?
