Hello everyone!
I recently teach senior high school, specifically grade 12 students. I’m teaching Entrepreneurship. I can’t believe how smart and innovative my students are.
They conceived their products when they were in grade 11 and the school where I teach harnessed and honed their creativity as if they’re making a real business. They can actually continue their businesses after graduating.
They had a two-week bazaar and most of them are convincing enough to entice you to buy their products. I bought some of them.
This is me being the proud teacher that I should be! Will you be proud if you see someone succeed in life?
Picture is mine!

I think both the student and school admin deserve praise. I hope all schools must do the same.

@mlgen1037 Yeah, and for that many youths will be inspired doing some positive stuff and be away on negative temptations.

@simplfred that’s true. However, schools and teachers should also be dedicated in helping these youths.

@mlgen1037 Yes, I know, I also prefer being called Miss by my students. But there is a special air of respect when students call mentors Ma'am, as the teacher is put on a pedestal.
My daughter is always addressed as Ma'am and she's pretty young still.
But yes, Miss Louise sure sounds sweet to say.

@eileenleyva thank you, Eileen. Honestly, I’m not used to not saying “po” and “opo” here. I sometimes feel too shy when I’m being called ma’am because I think I don’t deserve it.

@mlgen1037 your students level or she if there's no senior high is equivalent to second or third year college. They're so responsible.

@cacay1 they have to. I still have a student who doesn’t even ask about her performance until I gave her an academic reminder slip.

@mlgen1037 so that's good that they will be making the products they sell rather than just buying and add something for profit.

In elementary we teach our pupils about retail merchandising. We let them manage the school canteen by group and every week they take turn.

@Nakitakona I hope they’ll continue it until they grow up. Though there are students who don’t care, it’s still overshadowed by those who are hardworking.

@mlgen1037 I was a bit shocked finding out that this kid has been that keen in making money this way. She comes from an Asian background, so I had thought her parents would wish for her to become a doctor or lawyer (the kid is very intelligent). Last time I talked to her, she was firm re: become a business lady and being her own boss.

@YrNemo she has her mind made up. She just needs to be guided accordingly. She might have seen it through her parents the value of money.
