Im gonna answer my fan mails he..* i mean chatbox
Yijia-Hello thank you for the constant encouragement. I really appreciate it=)
Azri-Im teaching english. A subject which i cant teach the basics well cause i myself cant tell an adverb from an adjective lol. What i can offer is how to answer comprehension and write essays.
But it seems the syallabus is based on all those basic stuff!
Terrence-Life is great=) But i do not feel as sastified that is..Cant wait for A levels results release!
The Noob-Shut up!!Anyway thank you for the encouragement haha. Look forward to seeing you in the noobiest capital in the world, Kuala Lumpur lol=X
Mel-I would say i have the easiest job of us all. After all my hours are the shortest. But my belief is such that i must do the best in all my jobs for i hold responsibilty and liability for every dollar i earn. And frankly that belief is not being fufilled now.
I feel sorry and sad when i marked their assignments..i really wished i could somehow improve their english standards and make them enjoy this beautiful language
But i cant..So i felt im doing myself and them wrong.
Its the crushing physcological and mental burden that is tiring me..
Everyday i ponder how to improve their english
But i really lack the wit and the expericence and the commanding aura of a real teacher
And also education is a 2 way street.
Both sides must contribute.
Some of the students just really are not interested
And this adds further to my guilt
I always tell myself i cannot leave anyone of them behind
But if they are not interested i really cant do much
I really feel like giving them a earful really
Like Wake The hell up
Stop fooling around. You're no longer a kid.
Think about your future
Think about how hard your parents work to put you in school.
Stop wasting your life and future!
Sometimes it sickens me really
I wish i can teleport some of them to freaking Africa
So they can understand how precious education is
Its a real pity really
This is what prosperity and peace have won for our kids
But hell they are just teenagers
Their view point and beliefs are more often than not clouded and distorted
By their peers and the forces of the media and society
I would not blame them thus
But i just wished they give some thought to their future and how lucky they really are to be in singapore.
And i rather worked for KFC or some random company for longer hours and lesser pay
Cus i feel im doing something right for them
But in teaching, i dont feel im doing my duty as a teacher
To bring out the best in them all..
For me job sastifaction is above all even pay and working hours
Alex-Hey thats what im getting at haha=) Glad to see someone agrees man. Freedom of speech is overrated=X
Another day to try to change their attitudes towards studying..
Bennie out=~
now you notice i talk a lot!
