yun is on a natural high these days.. feeling better and better with each passing day.. no, not that the workload getting less and less.. in fact i get more to do each day. but i do it with PRIDE (our sch's vision statement. hee..) i feel so great these few days, cos i get to see my dear for the past 2 days.. tho we din spend much time together, but the little time we spent is quality time.
yesterday met dear for "charlie and the chocolate factory" the show was ok, as expected.. but little charlie was such an understanding and fillial little boy, that i was so touched i cried (in the beginning part of the show).. it's hard to find such kids nowadays. it's the truth, and that's a really sad thing..
been in school for 3 wks already. and the kids i see are very different from what we were 10 yrs ago. maybe it has got to do with our upbringing, and i feel that the kids nowadays are spoiled and rude. no i dun hate them for that, they're not totally to blame for their behaviour. some really naughty ones have problems in their family background. most of them do not have a full family support to study.. that's why they're what they are.. being their teacher, we have to facilitate their learning process, in the best way we can, even if they do not want to learn.. now i feel that teaching is no longer just teaching, we have to reach out to them, show them that we care and are willing to help.. (oh no, im starting to sound like some social worker.. err..)
but of cos, there're some really defiant ones, really rude, really trouble-makers.. i have to learn to be firm, make them behave ( and whenever i shout, i feel like an animal trainer, which is NOT GOOD!) i'll have learn how to use a softer approach instead.. i feel that the softer approach is better, less destructive to them as well as myself... i'm still learning.. and there are many things to learn when time goes by.. and im enjoying every moment of it.. :)
with support from my frens, my family and especially my dear (who goes stationery-shopping and sweets-shopping with me, and picks me up from sch once in awhile), i know i'll make a better teacher in time to come rite?? thank you all for the support!!
