Monday, March 17, 2008 First day. . first day. . first day. . every day. . good day. . sounds familiar. . it's in one of stephanie sun's song. . kinda random, but that just came to my mind. .Today is my first day back to bowen. . as a 'teacher'. . teacher as in because i have to really do some teaching. . They call me mr chen. . it sounds really disgusting i thought. . maybe mr tan will sound kinda nicer. . but well. . i have got that surname imprinted on my ic, so will just have to make do with that until some day i will get it changed. . Alright. . anyway. . I only have two lessons today. . One 1 hr lesson and the other 1.5 hrs. . Both are e maths. . I have 4e5 and 4e6. . . The students. . . They are not as bad as i have imagined. . perhaps because it is of a smaller group, things did went easier for me. . Of course it wasnt exactly easy. . with my level of experience, the easiest job will still make me break large amount of sweat. . I've said that i am not equipped with skills to handle students who pull stunts. . so my approach is always a friendly one, seeking to get into their good books. . In a sense i felt i have been overly nice to them, talking to them in a more 'friend' manner. . It will have sounded like i have forgotten to draw a line between who's the teacher and who's the student. . i spoke to them like a friend, cracking lame jokes out of nothing. . So i guess in any way that i have failed as a teacher, that will be the first. . The bunch of students i have got. . for 4e5 was more like an usual bunch of pupils. . they give me minor problems here and there, like some of them did not bring their textbook, some prefer to laze around waiting for me to give them answers, some prefer to talk to their friends. . Of course these wasnt as bad as i still able to practise some control in the class. . I have to say that i cant care too much about minor issue, again because of my inexperience, it's really up to them whether they want to learn or not. . for 4e6. . it wasnt too bad a different scenario, it's the same kinda minor issues here and there, but i actually noticed that they do have a number of students who are interested in learning. . it could be just pretentious but i choose to believe that i see. . I have got a guy who i know he's one of those trouble-makers outside from one look. . surprisingly, he actually sat quietly with another boy in front, discussing and trying to do some 10 years series question. . The book was clean, i can see he is doing it for the first time, but it had gave me the impression that at least, he still has the will to do math, to learn. . Im not too sure if the next time i see him will he still continue this attitude, if he does, i would willingly pay more attention to help him with his work, which i have observed, is slightly slower and weaker than others. . My heart goes to these people. . some of them are actually quite intelligent, just that they have forgotten what is the priority in life, they lack the maturity to know that trying harder in your studies and secure a good result is more important than having fun and enjoying outside now. . i told mrs cheng about this. . So first day. . pretty shy to begin with. . because im seem to know few people there. . mrs cheng did pose the question to me. . you seem to be quite shy. . yes maybe. . im so new here, unfamiliar with the way to begin with as a teacher, how do i expect myself to be more hyper, wild and crazy. . im more like wearing mask when im in the school. . im not entirely someone who is civilised, soft spoken, polite and eloquent. . i prefer to speak in broken english, to be loud and be more casual in words and behaviour. . I will see how i can improve of that. . I slept late yesterday, woke up early today. . i need an afternoon nap. . see ya at night and may things turn up better in my second day. . |
