Haha, yeps, Maggi-dear...thanks for reminding me that I need to let this out of me...been wanting to do it..but work kind of stopped me from pouring it out....so this is not Arashi-related...haha, you can opt not to read....
Basically on thursday, i had my induction program at the school where i am posted to for my teacher training. first of all, i have nothing against missionary schools or anything...but for me, personally, i am not fond of missionary schools simply coz of the fact that they have a long history before them and long history means a culture that is long-standing...and I am one who tends to not follow the rules that much..i am who i am kind of person...so tradition and culture can be something that is irritating if i dun agree with it.
ok, back to story...in the induction program, i was introduced to my cooperating teachers..basically my mentors and also the ones whose classes i'm gg to take over for 10 weeks. i dunno whether it is a good thing or not..but both of them..after saying hi to me and confirming the classes i'll be taking, the first thing that they said was, "I'll be assessing on classroom management". to me, that hit hard because that is the tough thing to do, especially for a greenhorn...managing a class takes experience and time..and i'm assessed on tt...it kind of got me a lil worried..and kind of spoiled the mood for me...
as usual, as the principal talks abt school mission n vision...i switched off...haha, typical me...i can't stand a long lecture for tt long. then they talked abt discipline...and i asked this question" because your school adopts the homeroom system, that means the students will be moving about. hence, there is a higher tendency that students may go 'missing'. so how do you handle truancy cases?". now, i ask this question primarily because i have done so myself in JC and uni..haha, so well, i also wanna know....but the comment from the discipline master got me tickled. he said, " that is a good question and it usually comes from an experienced teacher" haha...well now...experienced...it can mean a number of things ne...i mean i am experienced...in playing truant..wakaka!
basically the whole school is all about classroom management..and i can understand why since the boys there are really mischevious...cheeky is an understatement...but this fact also got me worried...because I know I am able to handle sarcastic comments and even give them...but i dunno whether at that point of them, i can actually control the whole class and especially the ringleaders...hmmm, we'll see next week, how it is ne...haha, i just realised, the way I'm describing these kids is as though I am gg to run a mafia mob or smthg..wakaka!
oh can i say that my school is oh so 'kind'. they said that i should experience the whole range of classes. so they gave me one express class and one normal A for each of the subject i am teaching...haha, i know i will enjoy the NA class a lot coz they are more real...but it also means more effort in classroom management...hmmm, we'll see....
oh and i know why we can't really wear skirts in the school...i mean apart from the fact tt it's a boys school and there has been cases of breach in modesty in the school, the place is also super windy and as u go up the levels, the wind gets stronger...so, if you are wearing skirt, hmmmm...well, expect a marilyn monroe effect! now, gotta stock on my wardrobe with pants...since currently, there's more skirts than pants(ironic since i rarely wear skirts in my casual wear)
and and and...haha, here are some pics of me n Sharifah(she's my close fren..can be called my best fren..but I'm the type who dun haf best fren simply coz i dun believe in tt idea..)..the nonsense pics i call it...done while fooling ard..haha, i look so fat as usual..need to start losing weight yo!Haha, u gotta thank Sharifah for these pics...coz usually I dun bother taking pics of myself and usually take pics of things rather than ppl..haha, and it doesn't help tt she's good in photography and sometimes she does take pappa kinds of pics, i will wondering when on earth did she take those photos..haha!
And the ladies whom I had fun with! Can't wait to meet you all again..wakaka!
Oh and I so love this pic..coz of the lighting and MaBear looks damn cute!
