Sometimes it's quite stressful because I am teaching the standard six and standard five students for most of the time. Standard six student are going to sit for their major examination, UPSR in approximately two months time but one or two of them still can't master some particular subjects. This is what makes me headache always.
All the standard six students are boys and hence, they are being playful in the class. Controlling them isn't an easy job as part of the reason I think is because of my petite size. Secondly, I have to put myself in their shoes and think like them. I need to figure out what method should I use to let them finish their work without procrastinating in my class. Forcing doesn't work as they are already twelve and they won't get controlled by you easily. However, it's undeniable that sometimes they are quite hilarious too. The way they talk, the jokes they tell make me burst in laughter.
While for the girls, as usual, being obedient and hardworking student. They will just finish the work I assigned most of the time. But they often complain to me that they have lots of homework given by school teachers and begging for lesser tuition work. I won't push them so hard like how I push those boys as they are only standard five this year.
Basically, this is my first month of working experience as a teacher. Hope that I can improve on myself as a teacher for the following few months and also can have stronger bond with those evil kids Muahahaha!
