Well, if I've not mention before, I'm a IT Trainer, aka Computer Teacher, who's currently based in a primary school. Have been with this school since July, taught quite a number of classes already, and today's the worst so far...
Not sure what happened to them, they were very active. I would say too active. They couldn't sit still, their mouth couldn't shut.. I was having a hard time trying to get their attention.
Managed to teach them something and get them to do their work. Thought things are going well, but turned out they weren't really listening. So their hands keep rising in the air, calling "Ms. Neo, Ms. Neo" or "teacher, teacher". Well, it was still manageable, until 15 minutes towards the end of the lesson, one of the kids asked for permission to go to the washroom, but turned out, he was goin to carry his bag.
One of my students told me about his action and I went out to see, true enough, he's already 4 metres away from the computer lab. I went to him, demanding to know what he's doing, whether he's really interested in going home or what does he want. And he can tell me that he don't know... Then had a small talk with him.
Brought him back to the lab, den 4 more complaints coming my way.
The 4 of them were fiddling with each other's PC causing data to be gone. Then they started to point fingers at each other.
Toward the end of the lesson, I was just so tired of shouting, I just told them to save their work and shut down the pc.
Thinking that they'll be quiet soon and ready to go home, but boy, I was very wrong.
They still can't keep still. So, instead of shouting out their homework, I typed on PowerPoint and told them to write it down.
And then I added one more slide and I wrote "I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CLASS TODAY". Silence start to emerge...
Then of course I had to let them know the reason why I am disappointed... And before I let them go, I asked, if I'll have a better impression on the last lesson next week, they answered "YES"..
But...I have my reservation on this... Hopefully coming thursday's class, won't have the same episode.

SIgh~ I need a hug...
Anyone can spare one?
