In my job, I get to work with faculty in Singapore who have dedicated their lives to "helping students realize their full potential".  I know that kind of sounds lame, but it's true.  In fact, I've met people who've despite had a successful career in the IT industry, have decided to give that up in order to teach at a local university or polytechnic.  And I must say that my engagement with some of the polytechnic faculty in particular has truly been inspiring; I can really see that from the bottom of their hearts, they really care about their students' future success.  So here's to them - the Singapore faculty.  And even though I'm no longer a student, I salute you for all that you do.  Happy World's Teacher Day.

I've also asked a couple of colleagues to say a few words about their experiences and thoughts, and I thought I'd share it here:
