Teachers' Violence

[duriz]

markfch:

Is so unfair as far as teachers are concerned right? Those teaching in top sch will get the 'right' calibre students and receive the accolades when their students do well. Those teaching dilinquents have a much harder time and they will never get any public recognition, only brickbats when their charges misbehave.

Life is unfair.
As parents of young and schooling children, we are of course very concerned and passionate about our young ones.
But as adults, we know that this too shall pass.
Occasionally I run into the children I'd taught, around my neighborhood. They still remember me and call me \"cher\", some of them even asked/offered to hold and play with DD.
I'm also glad to report that a few of the delinquents had made it to better sec schools. One even quit school to run his own financial consultancy firm with two friends. All at the tender age of 18. He'd told me that they were doing well.
Am glad to hear.
It's always nice to see them, all grown up. Even better when they are doing well for themselves.

even in those \"top\" schools, they have delinquents too. it is a misguided idea that they don't have

and some teachers are made to teach the top class as well as the bottom class too

markfch, you should know which school i am referring to

Hey duriz, I also used to be a teacher! Went to a secondary school NA class to teach as a relief teacher to get a feel of what is like first. The students need lots of time to be won over. One student shouted at me when I asked him to sweep the floor. But that was the extent that I got. Thankfully I was posted to a primary school to teach after NIE.


One incident stood out in my mind, there was a student whose mother wanted to check all my worksheets before I gave them out to make sure they were of quality and would also talk to the principal about my teaching methods which included making the girl stay back to finish her work and reprimanding her when she did not bring her work repeatedly. Of course, principal took her side and asked me not to ask the girl to stay back. So I had to have double standards when I taught that class, one standard for the rest who did not do their work and one specially for her. :stupid:

This make me recall the 1st meeting held by the form teacher to the parents this January. The teacher requested us to let her know whoever child cannot tahan scold in the class and she would handle them differently. However, all parents just keep quite and may be this make the teacher's job easier.

That's right, actually some teachers that I know who are still teaching work wonders with the foundation class and even do home visits as some of their students do not even have proper meals. So they even buy food for them but they do not get recognised and the principals always talk about the teachers of the good classes because they are the ones producing the results..quite sad.

that could be just an anecdotal observation, in terms of hard work not acknowledged

principals are normally appreciative for that

some of my friends who went the extra mile are duly recognised

and one other friend as a principal who personally went about on home visit etc etc was publicly recognised too

Even top schs have delinquents? :shock:

Boy, I can be so naive sometimes :oops:

Think I can guess which sch you're referring to.

Thanks duriz. Yup, it got better after a long time (8 days). Will be going to IMM later to get some of the supplements that the other forummers recommended.

Wow, this teacher will make a very good project manager, can anticipate and nipped problems before they arise. A very sort-after trait in the private sector :celebrate:
