SA praises educator for his passion for teaching
A heartfelt post by Thabiso Mathipa has caught the attention of many South Africans for his words of kindness towards his students.
Posted at 5am on Tuesday morning, the teacher from Polokwane said:
I seriously miss my learners now, it's no longer a joke. Well, it looks like we are still having a long journey before we can go back to work, but they are just in my heart. We sing, dance, play and learn together in our class, we make mistakes and learn from them. I pray that they all be kept safe together with their families so that we all emerge victorious after this period.
I always strive to make my classroom user friendly and alive, so that all my learners could be free to take part. One day, sooner, I'm gonna leave the classroom completely and do other things, and I'd want to look back and say, I've done well, through God's grace.
To teach is to touch lives forever!
