teacher nightmare

following my whiny little post about my two brats, it occured to me why that recent class bothered me so much. may kwento e.

when we were in 3rd year high school, we had this Math Enrichment teacher whose name escapes me at the moment (or probably because there's no compelling reason to remember it. haha). So this teacher, Ms. ME, was supposed to handle our Trigo classes. and she absolutely had NO classroom management skills! being (naturally) 3rd year hs brats, she just basically let us run around - she allowed us to switch seats, didn't reprimand us for talking in class, tolerated eating, drinking and turned a blind eye on, get this, cheating. so for people in our class, Ms. ME's time = FREE time.

socatoa lang yata yung natutunan ko dun - and i'm not even sure i got that right. (yes, bobo sa trigo!) but for all the fun that we had under her ME rule, Ms. ME typifies everything I DON'T WANT TO BE as a teacher - a totally uninspired educator who's just resigned to the fact that her students are uninterested in what she has to teach. fMs. ME wasn't merely helpless, she was totally uninspired.

natatakot lang siguro akong maging katulad ni Ms. ME. alam niyo yun -- yung teacher na, siya mismo, naniniwala na wala namang magiging impact yung mga tinuturo nya sa buhay ng mga estudyante niya so hindi na siya mage-effort na gumawa pa ng lesson plans. magpe-petiks na lang sya tuwing class time at magtuturo sa hangin.

:( miserable.

ayokong maging ganung klaseng teacher. and i don't wanna hate teaching. (so what do i do with those two uninterested helpless KSP kids?) somebody save me. hindi ko naman pwedeng gawing jurassic park (presenting me as the predatory T-Rex) yung classroom ko.
