Teachers, Good and Bad Having been in school for a number of years now, I have come across many types of teachers. Some are good while some are bad. The good ones are those who put effort into their work to make the students knowledgeable and thus care for the welfare of their students. They genuinely want to teach us what they know. So despite their weaknesses we love and respect...

My Class Monitor My name is Neha. I study in 3rd standard. There are forty students in our class. Among all Sheena is the most intelligent girl and is the monitor of our class. She is eight years old. She is a well behaved girl among all and so controls the class very well. Our teacher says she is a very responsible girl and always does her work well. Sheena is...

My Feelings on Getting Low Marks  An examination is at best a gamble but after taking an examination, we know a little what we can expect. There was a sneaking hope in my mind that I might get a merit position. On the day the results were to come, I reached’-school before time.

Punished in School One day I was highly shocked when the teacher threw my exercise book at my face. She stood there glowering at me with her huge eyes. One by one the teacher repeated her nasty actions on a total of five boys. The whole class was dumbfounded by her sudden outburst of anger. We were merely kids and were terrified of her. Then we were sent to the headmaster’s...

My Classmates In our class Mayank is the noisiest- of all boys. His voice is like that of a bull frog, but the volume is louder. In this noisy bunch is a girl who hardly ever opens her mouth and her name is Padma. The boy who sits next to me is such a gentle and soft creature. Then there is Disha, our class monitor. She sits right in front of...
