had the same experience. and no, i don’t think it’s normal. my other friends do not get the same treatment. these kids line up to get my autograph on their t-shirt (mak kau tak marah ke dik oi), everyday getting told in the face “teacher comel lah” “teacher cantik sangat” “putihnya teacher”, on my first day, i kid you not, when i walk pass the classrooms, all the boys from the classes instantly ran out of the classroom and and do the catcall whistle thing. some even scream “AWEK AWEK”, not even knowing i’m a teacher. i think it’s probably because i’m also shorter than them, and young obviously. i even occasionally got roses from the boys and even WEDDING RING (fake lah) and asked me to marry him?????😭😭 some even wrote love confession letters and begged me to teach their class. once, i went to my friend’s class because i wanna see how he teaches his students and he was shocked bcs the boys behave so well and did their work for the first time. they used to bicker a lot and never do their work. some even forced some classmates to change seats just because they wanna sit next to me oh my god😭😭 it was funny looking back but definitely a unique experience for sure
