The RED Ball Pen

FAILURE IS NOT DEFEAT UNLESS YOU STOP TRYING

This looks familiar to you right, this is used by us teachers to check test papers, writing notebooks, spelling booklets and marking failing grades. I’m a primary teacher and red ball pen is very useful for me. They say that the teachers are making students’ grades but the truth is the students are the one making their own grades and we just record it. I know that this colored red pen maybe scary for students especially when it comes to receiving their report card. When they see a final grade marked with red, it means they failed. They have to be retained in the grade level. In life, failures will strengthen our weaknesses and encouraged us to strive hard.Teachers are there to encourage every students especially for those who needs guidance. Don’t lose hope.

  1. And if there is a wise teacher to guide us when we meet with failures, then the learning experience can be even more fruitful. :)
