I can’t tell you my identity

Because I'm a one shy entity

But as you can clearly see

Learning is upon we

They put up with us

Even if we cause a fuss

They work hard everyday

To see that we walk on the path they lay.

I’ve learnt from them before

But i hope I’ll learn from them once more

Cause there is nobody like them

Who to us can carefully tend. to. us.

Ahhh... teacher’s day... I’ve got nothing to say about that. 

Raise your hand if you enjoy waking up really early to go to classroom with classmates and time limits in a building. No one? well if you go on the internet i’m pretty sure there is a debate to whether or not school is important. but i’m not here to talk about SCHOOL.

i’m here to talk about the ones who help us learn at that certain building with classrooms, classmates, and time limits we all call “school”. Teachers.

what do I know about teachers? Well I know that even though their just part of the system that we protest so much on, we should know that their there for a reason. I don’t think its easy to teach. i don’t think its easy to address whether teaching is easy or not. I don’t think its easy being in a classroom surrounded with people questioning their knowledge. I mean sure some are professionals and they say its easy. But when I see teachers going to classrooms I see people who work overtime just to check exams. people who read all their students essays instead of going home early to rest. People who teach other Kids to not repeat the mistakes they made or pass down the knowledge they have.

For me I see One of the people in society who work the hardest to shape our minds.

Whether we see school as good or bad. We should respect the people working there. Thanks teachers! Hope you continue guiding our learning experiences.

What to Call People

Simply addressing people in the renaissance was a much more complicated prospect then it is today. People were very conscious of their social standing. Well, that all depends on what the person standing in front of you is like. 

     Is he an elderly man? You could say Good day, good sir. In fact, you can use that greeting for almost any male of any social station. 

     Is it an elderly peasant? You could say Good day to thee, Father, or Good day to thee Gaffer (Gaffer is short for grandfather). This would be more of an affectionate greeting than a respectful one, though. Or, you could say Good day, old lad, but this would be considered quite rude unless you too are an elderly man. Do you know his name? You could say Good day, Gaffer Jones, or Good day Father Culpepper! (And no, you are not implying that he’s a priest, Father is just a term of respect.) 

     Is this person an elderly woman? You can say Good day, Good Mistress. That is neutral and polite. Or you could say, Good day to thee, Gammer, which is short for grandmother. You could say, Good day me old lass, if you happened to be her old lad. And you can always address her by her name: Good day, Mistress Smith. 

     Are you facing a respectable man of adult years? You can address him as Sire or as Master. This is courteous without being servile. Is his profession obvious? Does he carry a bow and arrows, or does he wear a leather apron and carry a hammer? Or perhaps he has a mandolin on his shoulder? You could say Good day, Master Archer, or Master Blacksmith, or Master Musician. Or course if you know his name, that’s what you call him by. Is he a peasant? You can say, Good morrow, Goodman or even Good my man-about the most polite way possible to greet him while acknowledging the he’s poorer than you are (if he is). He would take no offense at such a greeting, either: he’d assume you were a nice, courteous person. And courtesy meant a lot in this age. 

     Is this a woman you see before you, of mature years? Good day, good mistress is just about right. So is Good Lady. Is this a homey, housewifely person? You can call her Good Mother or Goodwife. 

     Is this a fine, lusty young fellow you are greeting? You can say Good day, my fine lad. 

    Or is it a young lady? Again, you could use lady, or mistress. If you feel like being flattering, you can call her sweet mistress, dear mistress, fair mistress or what you will. By the way, there is no dirty joke here: you are not implying that she is your “mistress” in the modern sense. Mistress was simply the 16th century form of “Ms.” It was a polite title making no reference to her marital status or rank. If you’re being quite flirtatious, you can call her pretty maid, sweet lass or even sweetheart. 

     Is it a little boy? Little sir, little master, young lad will all do well. Simply to call him “boy” would be rude, and what we are discussing here is courteous address. 

     Is it a little girl? Obviously, you can call her little mistress, little lady, little lass.
