Teaching Primary 2 is killing my voice box.
There are 50 students in a class and you need to make sure everyone is doing their job (that is studying) and not making noise or bullying other students.
Well, just by describing here is not enough to make you understand how is the real situation in the class.
Imagine that one student reports to you that XXX is teasing XXX. Once you have settled this case, another student pops out behind you, pulling your skirt and says,"Teacher, XXX is crying. XXX punches her at the stomach." While you are settling these cases, the other students are making so much noise that it reaches 10000 decibels, or more.
This continues on and on until the whole lesson is gone. *it rhymes
Education has changed nowadays. Now, primary school teachers, especially those teaching lower standards classes, are like babysitters, who babysit 50 big babies, and yet only receive the salary from two families. Fair?
Teaching Year 6 is a totally different experience. They can be controlled but there are still moments for them to be crazy and noisy and annoying. This is acceptable. Just that you have to figure out billions of ways to tackle them and make them your friends. That's it.
Teaching Year 4 is the easiest for me. They still believe in lies. Ooopsss... Okay, white lies. Nah, I did not lie to them, but other teachers certainly did. I shall not reveal their names. LOL!!! And Year 4 students are not as mature as Year 6 to debate with you. So no worries. Just go in the class and act fierce and TADARRR, they will be as tame as a cat as well.
These are my experience of teaching primary school students for just TWO days. Still 21 days to go. *Countdown-ing
Wish that these classes are still under my control for the next 21 working days. =P
