Being cruel!

I never thought that one has to be cruel to be a high school teacher. If you sympathize with students' pressure, you will be too soft-hearted to give them assignments. Being a homeroom teacher of such a class, I couldn't neglect their pressure from studies and tests. I have to take care of their feelings and the problems they might come across. At the same time, I am also their English teacher.I have my requirements for students in my English class. However, whenever I assign homework to them, an inner voice of their homeroom teacher will tell me not to push them too hard and that they already have too much work from other subjects to do. When I face this dilemma, I will try hard to forget my identity of their homeroom teacher and be cruel to give them my assignments, which might be challenging for them. Lately, I have been trying to balance the job of being a homeroom teacher and that of being an English teacher. And I also hope my students can distinguish my two different identities.

Let's call it a day. (I mean my writing.) I have to prepare to play badminton now!
