Great Dads

In this article, I would like to share some stories about great fathers that a teacher like me has known.

A few days ago, I went into the school office and saw a parent talking to the academic affairs teacher. I greeted him. Hearing that, he turned around and greeted me by his name. I was surprised because I didn't know him. When he sat on the bench waiting to pick up his child, the academic affairs teacher told me that he was the father of K. (a 10th grade student).

Actually, he and I met and greeted each other a couple of times in front of the school gate, but it was only a passing glance so I didn't recognize him. Afterwards, I went to the stone bench to chat with him. He told me about K.'s misfortune since birth. Then he talked about his perseverance and love as well as his guidance for his son when he finished grade 12. He was a wonderful father like the fathers I shared below.

Change schools to reduce academic pressure

During recess one afternoon, the students “surrounded” me and asked me all sorts of questions. We didn’t have much time to share, but we left behind practical things in life. The most impressive thing was what female student Bao Truc (grade 8, just transferred to my school) shared.

I met this girl's father at the parent-teacher meeting at the beginning of the year (although I am not the homeroom teacher, I often care about the little students and confide in their parents). This father shared that the reason he transferred his daughter to our school (although it is much further than the old school in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) was to avoid academic pressure for his daughter. Through what he said, I felt the father's love for his daughter through very practical actions.

Bao Truc said that on weekends, her father often takes the family out, near the city center, far away to tourist attractions in neighboring provinces. She told the story with great pride, which made me happy too. Not everyone can do that when a father takes his child and other family members out on the weekend, spending the weekend with the children.

Lessons from picking up and dropping off children

MT's father also makes me admire him a lot. T. studied at my school for two years (grades 8 and 9). His house is very far away (further than Suoi Tien Tourist Area, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) but his father picks him up and takes him home every day.

With a suitable learning environment, T. has made remarkable progress. This result is partly due to the head teacher's hard work in teaching and helping, not being afraid of "difficult cases".

But more than anyone else, it was my father. I had the opportunity to talk to him dozens of times at the parent reception desk right at the security gate (we often drank tea and coffee with the security guard before and after school).

I am very satisfied with your method of teaching children. And understand the heart of a father for his less fortunate child. It is your teaching method that has helped my child overcome real barriers.

In the recent 10th grade entrance exam, T. was admitted to a public school near his home. We are very happy and proud of his results.

As for My Tan’s father, every afternoon when he picks up his daughter from school, he still lingers to drink tea with the security guard. During that time, he also relaxes by temporarily putting aside his work, gently enjoying a cup of tea and chatting with many people. And most of all, he lets his daughter play with her friends in the schoolyard for a while longer. Although it is only a short time each afternoon, it is also a spiritual gift he gives to his daughter.

Books for children

Tan Hoang's father is also very special. Every afternoon when he picks up his son, he waits for him for an hour or even more. He spends that time so that his son can play more with his friends, especially to exercise at the martial arts gym.

He is also a very thoughtful father who puts two age-appropriate newspapers in the school every week so that his son can read them during recess. What is even more special is that he is willing to buy books - classics for his son to read, because he is a book lover. And the moments when the father and son are together in the schoolyard are very touching and lovely.

Those are the practical and intimate words and actions that a father gives to his children. In my eyes, great fathers are simple and meaningful!
