Kids II- the numerous joys of teaching

Church tuition resumed today afternoon, and with a promise to himself/herself that he/her would start with the class on a new slate, 'The Teacher' again strode into class.

-->At this point, i would admit that The Teacher, whom i referred to in my previous post, is myself.<-- Mr Fong met the legendary MeilaN when he arrived at 1500hrs, about 30min late, and hence prepared quickfire excuses to execute from the tip of my fingers. But thank my lucky stars, heng ah, she just asked me if i wanted to split the class straight away, and without waiting for my answer (i wasn't prepared with one anyway :P),she entered,with the apprehensive Mr Fong in tow.

To my pleasant astoundment,everybody belonging to my 5B class waved at me happily,along with some of the 5A kids who knew me from last year.My heart felt so light you know! :D Anyway, the legendary MeiLaN entered and asked if they wanted to split classes.

Suddenly, a 'kiddy stampede' occured as everyone kicked away their chairs, pushed away their stuff, grabbed their bags and rushed out, like they were escaping from jail. Just to enter my class,leh. Woah, I was so glad,y'know! I felt like a million dollars,HEH.

Armed with the new tactic of 'never-ever-laugh-and-joke' demeanour i ingeniously planned out and practised during the hiatus, I managed to keep them quiet by and large, and a significant amount of work was done. Of course alot of wrong lah,but at least they tried! For now wrong also nevermind, just need to do :D

To be plainly honest, this whole narrative can be shortened into a paragraph. I just signed in with this post to express how kids, no matter how disruptive, noisy or vulgar, always manage to soothe my mood when i teach, and always refresh my soul, saving me from the 'chee ko pek"'lao ah pek' syndrome. And i also would want to thank my kids for making me feel so darned good today, giving me a sense of being so wanted, and for doing more homework today.

XIE XIE! :)
