After a very long silence from me..Here it is..my latest post!
This is where i sit in the resource room of this school.
I guess I should reamin tight-lipped ab the school I'm attached to.Jus to cover my bum in case certain things might happen if i post my views on things about the school that people do not agree with.
It'd be no problem here of cuz since all i have to say about the school now are just good things..Haaha..for now of course..
Anyway am currently teaching this smart class Primary 5 and it's difficult to gain their attention cuz they're all smart alecks. I assigned them to do section e and f..most of them have done till section i and j..which drives me nuts..Private tutors should have the responsibility not to cover topics that teachers have not taught in schools yet. This makes these smart alecks complacent and shake legs in class. What is the use of teachers if private tutors are around right?
Sigh..am just ventilating..but am having fun with them cuz they're smart and when you're sarcastic with them, they actually get it instead of just keep silent..=)
Was previously observing 2 other teachers called Cooperating teachers aka CT for 3 weeks..very long..yes..But teachers are not so creative during lessons as time is short and syllabus has to be covered. Sad fact.
To those of you who do not know already, teaching is not the honourable, easy and fun profession as it used to be. It ain easy mate! Constantly reminded by one of my CTs that now teaching is 30% teach, 70% admin.
2 more weeks and a couple more observations and am back in NIE. Time really flies..
Will be showing some pics of my project to India soon in my blog. Stay tuned!
