Farewell to Class 6-6

Hmmm.. In a twinkle of eyes, 2 weeks is up! And I had taken Pri 6-6 for 16days! Almost a month liao.. Now I feel a little sad cos I am quite attached to my students liao. Despite them misbehaving in class, not listening to me, rude to me.. I still enjoy teaching them! Maybe thats because they are old enough to understand my jokes. hahahha

In fact I'd learnt a lot by teaching 6-6...

1) Class room management is very important. If you were to let loose right from the start, you will never get hold of them again. Need to be firm in class. Well, but for me.. After schools, we are friends, no longer teacher-student relationship.

2) I found my passion! The kind of satisfaction achieved is amazing when seeing students improved! When you see your students absorbed what you had taught them, and learning well, the kind of happiness achieved cant be described by words. I enjoyed teaching my class of monkeys! Maybe I should really consider teaching as a career (thats provided I find my soulmate first, if not I would never get one once I commit into teaching...hahaha)

3) And since I took Mrs Leong- Form Teacher of 6-6, I had plenty of admin stuffs to handle. Though quite fun, but super time consuming.. Keying in attendance, deal with forms etc etc. But at least these made me mentally prepared if i really want to be a teacher

Well, it's a good experience teaching P6-6. And now, I would say... I won't mind taking them again given an opportunity :) Well, I will be deployed again next week. I'M GOING TO BE A MUSIC TEACHER! As usual in SAPS. So it's time for me start practising and playing my piano. HAHA

God, please bless me!

It's Vesak day long weekend! And I am happy I have a tight agenda, meeting different people everyday. Met up with my Disney pals yesterday and came to realised that most of them had already got acceptance letter from Universities. Even for those who did not do as well.

Ain't I supposed to enjoy myself for this weekends?

yet I am feeling very tensed up

stressed up, extremely worried and lost.

I hope God of all religons will Bless me!! Thank You.

time for a break

Thanks Guan Ying Ma, it's exam week!

No homework for them!

Which will means no marking for me!

Muahahahaha...

And I am so looking forward to the long weekends again! Vesak day holis:):)

ENJOY!

days without a life...

We always hear this.. " Find a job which we are really like, which we have passion for... "

Now I really understand why. Working is not like going to school. While studying in school, we can simply ponteng if we dont feel like going. But work is different. There is huge committment and responsibilty. We can't simply not go for work even we are realllllly tired, even we hate our jobs, even we hate the people we are working with. So we have to find a job which we are really passionate in. So we wont be so pissed off during work and enjoy working all day long.

I really appreciate studying more than working now (with exception to the days in Walt Disney World). Doing things which you dislike is really a pain in the ass (pardon me for my language cos I am seriously very mad). I believe if I ejoy doing what I want, things would be different.

I am a relief teacher.

I teach in primary schools.

I used to love teaching so much and thought of becoming a teacher.

I used to enjoy doing relief teaching cos it is good money and no committment.

But not now... Now that I am taking a P6 class,

teaching became both mentally and physically straining.

I got a message from Mrs Yeong on thurs,

saying that she has another 2 weeks of hospitalization leave.

Is it a blessing or is it a disaster?

Blessing- I have job for another 2 weeks, meaning $$$$

Disaster- I got to face the arrogant, attrocious kids for another 2 weeks!

They are already 12 yrs old, primary 6. I thought there is no need for me to shout and yell at them all the time liao since they had grown up. So, I decided to treat them as friends- talk to them nicely, crack some jokes to them etc. But it turned out to be DISASTER! They talk when I am talking, they curse and swear, they talk back to me while I give instructions etc etc etc.. The class went out of control.. I knew I need to be strict on them but it was too late. They behave like mad dogs, which i cant control anymore... :(

I am utterly upset over this issue... Reasons being:

1) I have to mark and mark and mark.. During my free periods, stay back after school to mark and even at home. There is no end to it. Mark maths, english exams paper, corrections and what worse is to mark few stacks of COMPO during the labour day+my weekends. I cant go out and enjoy my weekends like i used to me.

2) My naughty monkeys in class which do not respect me, which treat me like shit. It's a battle with them everyday. I cant be too strict or even yell at them- if not i would be seen as reasonable. They themselves are not behaving yet they complain to the school. This is completely ridiculous!!!!! Kids these days are simply tooo much.. I am sure I wont allow my kids to do that in future..

3) Waking up early- as early as 530am starting from today as I need to be in class by 6.45am everyday! &#@% (damn angry you know!)

I am only paid a daily rate of less than 70 a DAY- from 645am till night (since i am marking all day long)... &*%$ I should have just quit this job and find an eng eng work from 9-5/6 everyday. At least I still have a life..

I really hope things will get better. I dont mind marking, dont mind waking up early provided my monkeys listen to me. Sad sad sad... I just want to have a stop to these...
