Life as Teacher Siow (Siow Lao Shi)

Yikes. I'm a teacher in SMJK Confucian. Teaching Chemistry and Modern Maths in Form 4.

One word. TOUGH!!!

It's the feeling of expecting responses from students but none came. It's exactly like the Potong Stim feeling. So enthusiastic while teaching to the point where you stop to ask, "So far so good?", suddenly the room is quiet. It feels cold without the air cond.

At least I received great feedback from teachers (which got the feedback from students). I'm not sure though whether the students were honest or just being polite.

It's also tough to teach while wearing uncomfortable clothes. One moment you are describing the concept of mole, the next moment you want to rip your clothes off. *gasp*

And teachers must really really REALLY plan AHEAD of the lessons. Like two weeks AHEAD. Or else you feel like a dickHEAD during next lessons.

At least it is satisfying to reach out to students. Most of the students are hyperactive and friendly. But at times I got worried when they became silent mode (or vibration mode) while I was teaching. Great, are they concentrating or are they being concentrated? >.<

Most news and log about teaching soon! (It's only my second day by the way)
