my "depressed" student argued how her candle of energy was fast depleting she could push on and cover the miles, she admitted but she didn't want to. I shared how happiness mayn't derived when headhunted choice variables fall into place; metamorphosis occurs, regardless of whether the caterpillar is ready she still withdrew from school was she too weak or was I too paternalistic? |

Kaile, Probably neither--many children are forced to leave school in order to work. Bobby |

Great write, as usual, because you always present some kind of dilemma, or puzzle, or moral question and I like that. Keep teaching me, teacher! ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |

Not paternalistic...just being a teacher who understands the value of an education. But there may be extenuating circumstances she isn't able to discuss...perhaps, she will return some day. |

Wish I listen to my teacher too, they didn’t like me painting all those pictures in classroom. Today I understand why my teachers said those words to me. May be she needs time to understand, hopefully before it’s too late? Nice write. Prasad |
