Teaching Life

Warning!
this post will be a long one...

whoa...
long time nvr update my blog...
haha...
im currently teaching at CCSS....
not a very good sch i guess...
but im somehow feel lucky...
some of the teachers hav been telling me that there are sch with kids with worse attitude...
just cant imagine....

anyway....
teaching in CCSS hav been a very good experience...really....
got to see the other side of the education system in spore...
in the past 4 yrs i hav been in sch where we are enjoying from the system....
those kids are really the one suffering from the education system here...
feel sad for them....

u know...
while every teacher will give u hw for dunno how many per lesson...
here, u cant even expect any of them to do a single qn...
while u know tt talking back to teacher is considered rude...
here they even mock teachers in front of them,acting as if he was not there...
while i nvr even see public caning before...
here...i saw one last week...n now the VP is goin round sch everyday caning people...
while we are struggling to get our 'A's...
here they struggle to even remember how to convert cubic m to cubic cm...
while we are finding teachers after sch...goin for extra classes...
here they will already be very angry when u hold them back for 10 mins during their recess...
while u are very anxious about how many points u get to get into the JCs u want...
here they only want to know whether they pass their N or O...cos their path is straight to ITEs....
or poly for some lucky ones...
while ur teachers are struggling to explain difficult concepts to u...
here they struggle to settle the class down...
while u hav long hair n short skirt problems with ur DM...
they hav fighting n smoking problems with her...

what is this big gap for?
why do they force them to study for O or N when they are not even capable of studying...
why waste their 4 years of time...
when they will eventually end up in ITEs....

well...
nothing is perfect...
this system can differentiate...
the so so from the bad...
the good from the so so...
the better from the good...
and the best from the better...
those above will succeed...
but what will happen to those in the bottom of the chain??
their fate is sealed there...

when they dont listen to me in class...
when they dont do the work i ask them to do in class...
when they copy from their friends during tests....
i just cant scold them for that...
bcos they are forced to do all this...
if u want them to learn...
u need to inject motivation to them first...
just feel sad for them....
tts why im in a dilemma now...
tts why im mentally tired everyday....
even im only workin for like 5-6 hrs everyday...
and i dont need to prepare for lesson...

well...
i wont waste my 6 months...
good experience...

on a side note...
really enjoy my life now...
enjoy my own money...
enjoy the many free time i hav...
haha...
