Teaching of Grammar

The teaching of grammar is a personal experience for me in my classroom. Here I see myself as a diamond cutter and my students are the rough diamonds.

Picture from http://www.bestdiamondcutter.com/

For every lesson, the diamond cutter will be the one to polish all the rough diamonds into beautiful perfect diamonds. How skilled the diamond cutter is will determine how great the rough diamonds will turn out to be. The same goes with the lesson that I teach everyday. I will improve myself from time to time to be the best master diamond cutter for my students so that they can be the perfect diamonds no matter what their size.
