teaching (3rd week ended!)

ok i've been officially teaching classes for 3 weeks now. preparing lesson plans, slides, worksheets, test papers and constantly thinking on the walk to and fro school how best to handle certain students and maximise classroom discipline and efficiency through rules and routines respectively.

yes, i've really gotten into the hang of things, much more smoothly and better than i ever imagined. with more passion and enthusiasm than i ever gave myself credit for. i guess it's something i really love (for now, that is).

seeing the kids' understanding my lessons and enjoying them, being able to engage in short meaningful conversations with them along the corridor and knowing our private talks will go a long way into changing the way they think and act (for some cases), and the feeling that all u're doing is directly benefiting someone u can see.

it's with great pleasure that i say that i'm more than willing to give up my march hols just to go back to school so that i can plan and improve my lessons and prepare better assessments for my students. but of course not the whole week la.
