Life as a Teacher: Week 2
Yesh, this is week 2. Life has been so hectic n busy n sleepless for the past 1 week, that Misty had fallen ill over the past wkend. Thankfully, it was a long wkend, so Misty can slack on a lil' and nurse that fever.
And... this is the school that Misty got posted to --- KSHS
KSHS is super far away... juz b4 the hills. Drove there on the 1st day and with the morning traffic, it took a freaking 50 mins to reach. Not to mention that petrol to & fro is approx AUD$10 bucks for abt 80km. *faintz*
So nice lil' Misty being so down-2-earth & such a understanding gf, decided to take a train to KSHS instead. Absolutely brilliant. 30 mins ride + 10 mins walk in the cold till Misty feel no fingers + weird pple + smelly pple.... and the best part, its CHEAP!!! like AUD$2.42 everyday!!!
But dun tink that taking a train is cheap in Perth, coz' NO WAY unless you haf a freakin' student pass.... else it's AUD$4 per trip.. AUD$8 everyday.
@$%^&*($@#%^ !!! F%*%ing expensive!!!
Anyhow, back to the work n handling students...
The past wk was a disaster... Had so many classrm mgt issues that it tore Misty into bits on Thurs. Frustration got the better side of the MisFit. The kids can be so brilliantly #$O$#^&** that Misty freaked out. So much for saying how much I will enjoy this, David.
But oh well... they R harmless... except to your self-esteem & confidence. They juz dun like the teacher in me, mot the Misfit. Coz' who cares abt wad they think of Misfit. They're juz lucky that they can swear off without getting into trouble, else Misty would have done the same.. *AHEM*
Wanted to post pics abt the journey and the surroundings of KSHS, but coz' Misty is sooo cold n sleepy each morning... it awiz slips her mind... hopefully dis' week. In fact, hopefully there's even tym to blog...
Student: Miss.. is that real? Your tattoo?
Misty: Yeah...
S: Miss... r u wearing colored contacts?
M: Yeah...
S: Orh... they're so cool. Is it painful?
M: Thanks. Nope.. it doesn't hurt.
S: wow... Miss... Miss... (while the other 1/2 of the class is "Miss...Miss.."
M: Get back to work, I'll come back to u in a while. *arrggghhhh*

Get used to it :P If you're in a classroom then the kids will say miss miss (or sir or oi or Mr P) when you're scolding someone or trying to give class instruction.
The main thing about prac is to get on with the staff and pick up tips. If the staff are nice then prac is easier. They know the kids and what they are like. If the co-op teachers are not nice then even if the kids were, you still wouldn't pass. Kelmscott have only ever failed one student I think but also have only ever given 80% or more to 1 student.
