And I look like one too; black and yellow shoes, black bag, yellow watch...
It has been crazy busy 2 days. Not by choice though. Exams were later this year yet the primary 4 teachers had to issue the report books by today. It has been meeting after meetings in between free periods, after work.. Administrative matters are aplenty. I think things have kinda settled by now. All I need to do today is to speak with 3 parents and do the budgeting for netball CCA. Phew! What a day. Need to induce some endorphines for now. Laterz.
Oh. Got dealt the news that I am teaching the last P6 standard stream class next year. Graduating class, full class of 40, only 10 months with them before PSLE, with 33 of them failing English (marks ranging from 20s to 40s out of a possible 100). Their math teacher, a very experienced and effective teacher, only taking half the class - the other half taking foundation math) shared with me that even he found them playful, noisy and difficult to teach (and he's only taking half of them). He also shared that at least 30 out of 40 of them have some problems. They either have learning disabilities, behavioural problems or family problems. You get the idea? The management team did not tell me their expectations of me, but from experience, I am supposed to help all of them clear their English. Phew! Need to meditate now. By God's grace and supernatural strength and power, I can do it! (just a matter of what state I will be at the end of next year) *breathes deeply*
