I would like to recommend this
blog to all teachers and parents. The author of the blog is a teacher who calls himself denglaoshi or Teacher-Deng. I got to know Mr Deng from a book (see photo below) he published with the support of his school. His book is a collection of his blog entries. What is valuable in his blog is that he shares his personal stories and experiences of educating his students and children and how he learnt from them. Particularly insightful was how he dealt with the so called problem kids in his classes. Through his blog, his students (past and present) respond by commenting.
One of the stories Mr Deng shared was how he was told by his corporal after BMT that he (Mr Deng) despite good performance was unable to go to OCS because of his poor command of English. Mr Deng subsequently became a regular and went to OCS and graduated as a sword-of-honour recipent.
