As a public school teacher teaching is not the challenge.. Being able to share your knowledge to your students and impart what you have learned from training and study is an awarding feeling as an educator.
Everyday I wake up at 4:30 am, prepare and head to school.. I have to be school before 6 am Philippine time because my class will start at 6.. From 6 I'd finish at 12pm, First period til the end I'd use my energy and voice..
Each section is composed of 50-60 students, each student have different background and attitudes.. Each you can find the types of student from a teachers pet to a hollowman student. But as a teacher it is part of our job to be patient and pleasing all time.. But as any ordinary person, human as we are we really reach our limit..
Among the six sections Im handling there is this one section Id wish I would never meet everyday.. Everytime i come in its like entering a jungle full of wild animals ready to attack.. Its like their hungry and thirsty eat my flesh. They look like canibals ready to devour my mEAT.. There is no day that passed that i didnt get angry.. Its that feeling they ignore the lesson you teach, or even see me invisible and just pass by infront of me.. So how do i deal with this stress for one school year..
Ive Tried different strategy, shouting at them whenever they make noise or be naughty is a big No.. Talk to them and councel those problematic students is still not effective. Might as well be quiet and ignore them made it even Worse.. So finally I have come to the conclusion that in order to bEAT them you have to join them.. So Id join what they are, put myself into their shoes.. Less stress and I can finally understand that this kids just wanna be noticed.. They simply want Someone who will understand them even at their craziest..
Being a teacher is not my first choice but definitely it will be my last choice.. Even how many times i get annoyed nd times after every class i will always love that feeling of hearing my students call me MA'AM..
