Fever! Just the very word sends fear striking at parent's hearts: Fever! Fevers are bad! Cuz, well, look at the kid! Hot! Uncomfortable! And hot! That has to be bad, right? Oh, and fever can kill! Kids can explode, can get brain damage, whatever. It's just...bad, that fever, right? Bad! Must medicate! Must take Tylenol/Motrin/have an alcohol bath/sponge bath. Must! Because fever = B.A.D.
However, its not that kind of fever. I'm joining a TEACHER'S debate competition.. I don't know whether I will be selected as the front lines or the reserve. But that is not the big matter. All of us will debate, anyway. What scares me most is the unseen mystery that lies ahead. It sends fever through my veins! Is that how we say it? That's a teacher's debate! Of course it's a lil bit more challenging than the one we carry out at school, because all the teachers are there to fight against you.. You will feel that you will be squeezed like a tiny bug. *Giggles*
A debater from another school told me that the official letter from Kota Belud PPD was released this morning.. The debate will be on March 10th.. its a few days away! Funny, we never practiced face to face.. So far, we simply did online discussion and did small meetings. Hopefully, the opponents r not that wild.. Grr.. Rawrr.. I don't know what'll happen to our team on the competition day. My thoughts r in the clouds, I imagine many things already.. *Worries*
In our small meetings, we met our big sifu, Mr. Zach.. He's there to guide us for the debates and talk about the topic in details. We started like we've never been to debates before (I did, but forgot most of it).. and the discussion wasn't that cool.. Mr. Zach already started wrinkling his face when we were stuck in between the definition and the premise for the topic "Teacher Development is the Main Determinant for the National Educational Excellence". Hopefully, next debate will create havoc in the atmosphere!
We will work harder..
