hello hello....
i know a lot of u guys miss me so am here to say a big HELLO.he he...just kidding.actually i find this blog an excellent place to vent all my suppressed emotions.tryst me...i have a lot of those feelings these day.n no prizes 4 guessing why.he he...
REGGIE!!!!how could u la???u r a terrible,horrible teacher.there, now i have made u feel like *****he he, just kidding la.i know exactly y u did tht cause u felt sorry 4 these kids.but just a piece of advice frm me.u r not helping them in anyway reggie.i also have students who come n bad mouth to me abt other teachers but i always tell them that it s not good to say things like tht n tht a teacher treats them that way cause they behave in such a terrible manner.no doubt, i understand wat my students r trying 2 say,i always make it a point to remind them that it takes 2 to tango. n in fact, i ask them a lot of ques such as what makes u hate tht particular teacher,or wat does he/she do tht u dislike.n then i try to avoid all those things when i deal with these students.
wat i am actually trying impart here is that, we must try to show them the right from wrong and make them understand y obeying something is vital.for example,there is a book for teachers to fill in the discipline probs of the day tht occur in the class n state down those students names n the book is placed in the class n handled by the monitor.so wat happened was, i wrote down this boys name XX in the book cause he s forever playing in thye class n never does my work.he is a boy wit a lot of discipline probs in school where by he s been suspended for quite a number of times.so the other day,he was looking at the book n noticed tht i wrote his name twice(not including the other teachers who has written his name).he was so upset n looked terribly down.i askedd his fren why.and the fren told me tht she s upset cause i in particular wrote his name.
then i called XX n explained to him tht he has left me with no choice but to write his name cause he has never done my work.i told him tht no teacher will want 2 simply write a students name in the book for no valid reason.(all this was of course traslated to him in chinese)n u know wat happened the next minute?he quitely went bak 2 his place,took out his exercise book n started copying the grammar work i wrote on thye board.he didn t answer the questions but i gave him credit cause he did some work.for me, it s an achievement cause,the first time i came,he totally ignored me, n scolded me in some chinese vulgar words.but now, he greets n smiles coyly at me.i know whether, i have got the message across but cuba try test this approach la k gang?
cheers!!!

hi...guys im back again...saras
wow guys u'l really have lots of news to share... bravo to everyone.. miss you'll.
as for me, school life becoming so bored la. as usual the seniors conquer the school. they even decide whether we junior should stay in mornin or afternoon session.
guess what!! most probably i'l be teaching geography next year. maybe that will be major subject in there since one of the senior teacher are going off next week. im studying geo every day before i teach the students this year. whatever task and post the senior teacher had is being pas to me. next year will be a hell year for me, i guess.
the worst task is im selected as a discipline teacher. i have to take special care for the indian students. sometimes i have to chase the indian boys who ponteng classes.
well, all my malay frens s\especially aliya SELAMAT HARI RAYA.....
