Teaching

Teaching is not as easy you think. Recently i have experienced it myself. Even though i am not a full time teacher or a subject techer it is really hard.

Day 1

First day teaching, I got to teach Pri 2 and Pri 1 kids on touch typing.
After a short intro abt me and touch typing taught them our to place their fingers on the keyboard and press ASDFJKL;. Later went each very student to check how they were doing and correcting them..... The kids were Superb. They listen obidently to me and did their touch typing very fast. Infact for the Pri 1 class we went ahead of our plan. All of them seem to learn fast and were able to keep with me.

1.30pm
All my lessons have finished, but i am not allowed to go back. I have to be in school till 5 pm. I dont know why. I dont have any lesson ready and i had nothing to but the Pricipal said i had to stay in school till5. An there i was sitting alone at my table reading my book and answering to all the teachers who kept on asking me who was and what i was doing in the staff room.

Day 2

Today i thought to a Pri 3 class on how to use the excel program. Gosh, it was really hard. Took me about 5 whole min to settle the class down. After that, demo to them how to insert symbols and how to format the data. Nobody was able to keep up. Majority of them have never used and Excel program and they di not know what i was telling them. Howerver some of them were smart and were able to keep up. Infact they finish they work about 20 mins faster then the rest of their class.
For me it was the worst. Had to walk to each and individual person answer their queries and show them how to do. Luckily, about 20 mins before the class end everyone finished their exercise. After that i showed them a shor tanimation just make them relax.

After which, i did not do anything till 5pm. Had only one class to teach today and it was long time over. For nearly 6hrs i did nothing but play online games. Doing nothing is worst then teaching the Pri 3s.But tml i got a long day ahead of me. 8.30 to 1.30 lessons. No break in between at all. Only after it.

2 more days to go.........
