A new teachers dilemma

GOD I cant believe its been two weeks since I started my working life and I am one of the very lucky people who have the opportunity to go back to school even after I graduated from the University.

When I started of as a teacher trainee I had all these dreams that I wanted to make a difference in the country and produce 100% good students…its only now that I realize how tough can that be….especially when the children and kids come from place and families that are not so privileged as we are…Yes after teaching I realize how privileged I am compared to the kids that I teach…

Now all the thing that runs in my head is how to help this kids learn, at least how to communicate and have the interest to study and come up in life…how am I suppose to make them aware of the importance on the education …as to most of the kids education is the only way that can help them come up in their life’s…

Now I realize a teachers job is more than just teaching its about loving and helping…its extremely sad and devastating to us teachers when we teach a certain topic for one whole week and when w ask the pupils about it they are all blank. they look at us as if we are aliens…can you imagine how our BP will go buzzing when we find out the kids don’t even know half of what we have been teaching them for the past week……leaving that a side what about all the kids that misbehave at school…what do we say for them…yes teachers are supposed to be patient. no doubt about that but how patient can we be…we are humans to wee too make mistakes and loose our heads…we are not GOD to be always patient and when a teacher happens to punish a kid for misbehaving what do the parents do…they blame and say many interesting things to the teachers….well my question to this parents are “ don’t you punish or hit your kids ;you do rite and you say its for their own good…then why do you scold the teachers who do that. Don’t you think the teacher who we consider as a parent at school has a reason at the back of his/her action. Don’t you think the teacher is punishing the kids as she cares and ones the kids to improve? No teacher is mad to simply punish the kid…remember that the teacher also cares… and parents ..i am sure most of you have been punished by your teachers at one point of time in your life and don’t you think that made you a better person…that teacher taught you something and made you, you…then why pamper your children. And make the teachers afraid of the kids instead of the kids afraid of the teacher…


Well this are just a hand few of the problems that i am about to face...well adulthood is beggning...welcome to my life...
