okkk im having half a sore throat now with all the continous shouting at the kids this afternoon. now i know how my primary school teacher must have felt when she taught my class-.- its like karma.... zzz all the bad things i did in class before, now come back to me... *sobs*

i always thought primary school students would be cute, eager, tiny, disciplined and innocent children, but what the hell, these are just images of my ideal student la. there's no such thing as the five adjectives that can be found in a student altogether. bah... most of the students are cute and tiny, but they are so hyperactive-.- give me a very good day, throw in at least one hyperactive student, it turns 360 degrees into a bad day straightaway. that's how a ordinary day of teaching goes.

anyway i realised that my teaching job has actually influenced the way i speak/act. when going home with my juniors after a bbq outing i was telling the taxi driver where to go, then my juniors in the taxi were going :" you talk like a teacher leh" -.- ehhhhh... ok la quite good, shows how passionate i am in my job? XD

teaching kids have made me realise how bad i am in my basics of basics. today i was supposed to teach the kids phonics i.e. pronouncing the letters h, g, b and r. like the rolling of r's and emphaising the sounds the letters make in a word, something like that. when i realised i had to teach that, i immediately ran to the classroom and was frantically searching for a way to teach them cuz i totally didnt know how to teach AT ALL. i am very very serious. when i was in primary school i never listened to such lessons cuz i think they were a waste of time and it wasnt as if i didnt know how to pronounce words as they were. anyway that was how i thought in primary school and AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH KARMA!!!!!!!!!!!! now i have to face an entire bunch of kids and teach them phonics and i bloody well dont know how to. so shoot me.

luckily i remembered my mum's pavaroti days when he could roll off his singing especially with words starting with "r" well, like "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" you know rolling yr tongue or something? lifesaver i tell you. so i just hilariously rolled my tongue over every single word that started with r and after that i felt so encouraged so i managed to finish the rest of my letters as the pronounciation for the rest of the letters miraclously started to resurface into my mind. PHEW i thought then i found out that the whole class was just staring at me like i was some lame-brained hare and i couldnt really do anything much about it right. they know how to read, but i still have to teach them, so i just had to scrap my way through it.

more notes from teaching... i realise that 80% of the class's requests when they come to me are all about going to the toilet which is really disruptive to lessons and disrupts my train of thought when im teaching them!!!!!!!! urrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh i shall pray to god to tighten those bladders of theirs so that tmr no one is able to pee until school is over so that i can have good and smooth lessons ho ho ho im so evilXD

and tomorrow as part of my image as the horrifying demonic relief teacher im going to have the class do lots of written assignments and ask them to take back home!*dances with joy* this will cut down the number of people who crowd around me by at least 20% i say. why 20%? because the 80% is toilet requests what. still, its considered alot *glints*

ok... thats all i can tell you from shujun's fascinating adventures in a primary school( i dont want to get fired for talking abt certain stuff). stay tuned for moreXD
