We give 100% unparalled attention and commitment (zero distraction). The positive impact the trip creates on students is lifechanging and mindblowing due to our efforts.

So yes, perfectly reasonable for us to chase/receive recognition, because all of these work is on top of our near-perfect lesson delivery and committee work. If our baseline responsibility in IP hasnt been met yet, do you think we’re thick-skinned enough to take on additional responsibility?

Geez. Dunno how many times I need to repeat this. I know we're mostly teachers here but some of you are so stupid it's not even funny.
"Near perfect" hahaha. And so you thought I guess. I know we're mostly teachers here but some are so delusional it's not even funny. I guess the tuition industry don't thrive for no reason or you're convinced your students all do not require tuition due to your "near perfect" lessons.

The reality I see and hear on the ground is, hardly hear of people who are near perfect. Maybe in a school in a department (maybe not even all departments) at most you have one teacher who is THAT good. And even that teacher does not always deliver "near perfect" lessons.

If you think your lessons are near perfect, you're going to stay stagnant because pedagogy constantly revolves and comfort breeds complacency. Complacency breeds mediocrity. By the way, I have done overseas trip and never for a moment I think of it as doing it for the A grade. I thoroughly enjoyed being there for the preparation of students pre trip, the briefings, the interactions etc. The thought of boosting performance grade or portfolio never did cross my mind quite frankly speaking.

If you love thinking your fellow educators in the fraternity are stupid, why don't you think the same of the person who asked the question of whether taking on overseas trip will boost performance or portfolio? Imho, if one needs to ask that question, then he or she isn't that good/capable either.
