I left the kids in school about two weeks ago.
I made them see the need to remain well-behaved
and alot of other things.
Since then, alot of things had happened. I am not
angry .... more of disppointed at their behaviour.
One student even wanted to 'sue' a teacher to just
because the teacher reprimanded the class and felt that
it was not justified. I have always impressed upon them
the need to be respectful to teachers wherever they are.
Respect should not only be given to teachers that you like.
Respect should be give to all teachers no matter how horrible
or terrible the teacher or his or her teaching is. There are proper p
rocedures to take in dealing with such a situation. Threatening a teacher is
definitely not the way to do it.
When I reflect on their actions, I think that I may have not been
a good role model and teacher for them. If I had been... this would
not have happened. What have my pupils become? They were angels
when I left them and now .... they have started to grow into ????
I am lost for words and certain things are better left unspoken. Maybe
they will sue me for writing my thoughts in my blog.
I contemplated if I should come to school and deal with them myself.
I am reluctant to see them. I am afraid that I may say and do things
that I don't mean. For now, I think it is a good time to stay away
and concentrate on my studies. I cannot emphasize enough on how
disappointed I am.
To my pupils who are reading, I know not all of you are misbehaving,
I would like to express my thanks to these pupils, for the 'guilty' ones....
Every teacher has their own way/style of doing things and this is influenced
by their upbringing, social-economic background and personality. Thus, it is
important to know that the teacher meant well when repremanding you.
You should not be defensive and react to the situation. What you should have
done is to take a step back and reflect. Imagine.. this scenario where... all
classes in the school are noisy and pupils walking around in these classes.
How is learning supposed to take place?It is also the duty of every teacher
to reprimand any pupil if they don't behave or listen.I hope you realize your mistakes
and apologize to the teacher.
Before I end, I would lke to express my utmost thanks to Azri, Steph
and Wang for helping me out with the class. Shopping tomorrow???
