One Inch Closer to babysteph

tmr is friday! yeah! finally the end of week is coming! i’ve been in bendemeer pri for 1whole week. wonder how my frens out there r doing…大家好吗？好想念你们啊！so far only sms wif QM everyday, ZX sometimes, HM hw r u? fever subsided? poor ting, fever on the 2nd day of wrk. yve wat abt u? someone’s sch out there is terrible loh! asked her to start teaching full load the very 1st day of wrk, wat a school!

my school…itz rather different from the 2 other schools i’ve been to. itz a very neighbourhood school.. the results of the students may not b as good as those from the other 2 schools. discipline-wise oso la, abit hard to control. but there r some students who still bow when they c me. i like it! teachers can b like frens wif students, but i still expect them to give me the respect. ok…student culture v different fr my 2 previous schools, but i guess i’l soon get used to it. itz different, but the difference not tat great to create a culture shock in me lah.

been reading some of ur updates on wat u’ve been doing in sch dis week, 现在轮到我来update 你们了。

monday was relax, but i couldn’t reli enjoy, cos i was sooooo sooper tired, wif only 4hrs of slep on sunday nite. not tt i was so excited about reporting for wrk tt i couldn’t slep la (i nvr will, dear was more gan jeong than me, when i wasn’t even worried at all), but bcos i woke up only at 2pm on sunday, wahaha..!

monday relief a CL teacher for 2periods, taught abit from the textbk. abit nervous when i taught, cos haven touched teaching for the past 2 yrs. there after shadowed the teacher whom i’ll b takin over. almost wanted to faint when i saw the P5 class wich i’ll b teaching start term3. reli wanted to discipline some of the disruptive pupils! but cannot la, cos the teacher is there, i’m only 旁观者. i foresee i’l have to be very firm wif tat class. the pupils r so rude i wish to slap them! aft dat, relief a P6 below average class, was quite happy actually, cos all along i’ve problems in managing upper pri pupils. but tat class was very nice! i had no problems at all! pleasant experience wich gave me more confidence in handling upper pri.

come tues, i was floating. most prob i’l be floating start term 3, hmm..always tot floating is gd, but doesn’t seem so now, the hrs r quite long, longer than just taking morning session. and in dis sch, floating still mus take CCA… and floating means taking P1, P2 and another level, and u noe, P1 P2 have got more CL periods than other levels. =(

tues was "shadowing"+relief. i relief 2 classes, 4periods, P1 & P2 end class. hearing there were only about 10 pupils in each class, i was very happy, but haha, too ealy to be happy. hmm, i can say, i’ve nvr taught dis kinda classes b4, where maybe 20% of the class hardly understand instructions, and very very very weak, very hard to teach. some of them need to be in special schools in fact. need reli lotsa patience. i am ashamed dat i do not have enuf patience yet. if u ask me, how i wud feel if i were to take dis kinda pupils, i’d honestly tell u, i’ll lose all motivation and passion in teaching. maybe let me teach for a couple of yrs i’l have more experience in handling dis kinda pupils? but definitely not now.

wednesday was a sooooper long day! reported at 8.30am to standby for meet the parents session, but in the end not needed. HOD then assigned me some wrk, design some stuffs. relief 6 periods for an aftnoon session teacher, P1 lesson. gotta teach in english & even read picture books, do actions as i read.. OMG.. but i tink it was ok, tink i passed. i like some of the boys in the class, they very cute eh! so cute i feel like hugging them! abit mischievous, but i like them! more lively mah! er..how ah, a teacher shud 一视同仁, rite? i’m abit bias leh, tink i abit 重男轻女, heh heh.. tink so far i’ve only had 1 girl as pet student, dat was in my previous school, yea, that was shuhui, very obedient, sweet gal. like her very much!

erm…teaching P1 is reli tiring, cos gotta keep reminding them to remember wat u instructed them, and itz frustrating when they keep coming to u (when u’ve alr rold them umpteen times not to leave their seats, but they nvr will remember for long) to say who took my pencil, who beat who, who say wat, who din behave, blah blah blah… get on my nerves! and i had to stay in school till 8pm! for marking. haha, itz so funny loh! 1st time i heard, doing relief oso need to mark the wrk i assign, moreover itz not CL work ok. (when i relief CL lessons, i was told no need to mark, but when i relief EL lessons, i’m supposed to mark, isn’t tt funny? *sarcastic*) but the teacher asked me to mark, i’m beginning teacher, pple ask me do wat i "LL" oso have to do loh.

so….wrked 12hrs on wed, come hme gobbled my dinner, started wrking on the stuffs my HOD assigned me, but of coz couldn’t finish la.

today, thur, 不够睡眠，早上起床极度痛苦！真想哭！我需要红牛！felt so much beta aft my red bull drink. today was quite good, very 充实！relief 7 periods of CL lessons for a very nice & capable teacher, i’ve written some qns to 请教她, shud b able to learn alot fr her. went to P6 top class, as usual, i prefer the boys there, they talk back, but i find them more lively, cuter! but they bully me loh! i say only 1 person goes to the toilet at a time, but while i was talking to other students, 3 of them went to the toilet together.

bad leh! diz students! i treat them nice nice cos i treat them as young adults, and top class mah. then they take me for granted, no respect at all. hmmm! c hw their teacher’s gonna punish them. i’m only relief, don wanna do anything to them. alr told the CL teacher, will leave it to her to do the punishment. sad..wanna treat students well oso cannot, they climb up ur head, they don appreciate u treating them well. students also 犯贱，还是需要偶尔的教训才会听话。 well, at least i learnt a lesson –> reli gotta b firm!

yea…and aft school today, stayed till 4pm, finished the job my HOD gave me, and when she saw it, she said "很好", tho i’m not sure if she reli meant it, i’m still happy! 起码做得比较甘愿.

those of u who r still rotting away in school, haven started teaching nor r there any jobs waiting for u, lucky u! enjoy dis very last bit of bliss b4 term 3 yea? holidays gotta go back everyday for the 1st week, full days, i tink. thankful there’s vesak day! 可以偷懒一天！then the last week of hols, gotta go back for 2 days. 还好吧，不算太shiong.

hopefully tmr i’ll just b shadowing…pls pls pls, hope no one gives me wrk or relief to do again…i reli want to have a light friday, and to leave early so i can go enjoy my fri as usual.

还没有update blog 的，别等啦，快快让大家知道你们过得如何。miss u pple lots! c ya all during the june hols! take care….!
