한 바보의 환상적인 세계♥

수요일, 4월 30, 2008

I may be extremely apologetic to have to associate the word 'disgusted' with a human being because i find that quite derogatory but then again, i am hardly far from the truth when i use the word for her.

My second observation of the chinese class served to fill me with disgust more than anything else.

I swear that any of the new teachers can teach SOOO much better than her.

And the biggest irony? She freaking only has 3 students, apparently graduated with phD in education in Canada and yet her style of teaching betrays whatever supposed 'experience' that she ought to have been equipped with. Duh~

I may appear to some that i am purely kicking up a fuss over nothing. But i dun like her attitude and thats just it. Period.

1) She ends exactly on the dot everytime even though she starts late, gathers all her things in a flash and just gets up and leaves the class abruptly after leaving her last line: "Oh, the rest you can ask her *points to me*, she will be your new teacher."

Will you die if you just extend the lesson by 5 minutes more and at least round up the session in a more decent manner?

2) During class, she just throws the work to the student and lets them attempt everything by themselves. While she reads her book. I find the latter activity of utmost importance to be mentioned.

Even i found the ensuing silence deafening. Hello~ Do you only know extremes? Either spoonfeeding or leaving them to fend for themselves? Arent you at least supposed to drop some hints and help them along especially since you have more than enough time on your hand?

3) She uses more complex words and expressions to explain the original vocabulary. That even i caught no ball sometimes.

Bravo.

4) She reads the whole passage to the student in chinese, barely does any translation, goes on to answer the questions in an extremely foolproof method. "So, the answer is this, RIGHT?" Of cos, the student is left with no choice but to nod since she didnt even understand what the hell was being said in the first place.

One of my personal pet peeves. I hate it when people try to sway your mind by using the word, RIGHT at the end of sentences. Open ended questions do leave much more to the imagination, by the way.

5) She uses the computer meant for the students to do diagnostic tests every lesson to download movies and songs for herself. And i always thought it was classroom material.

Diao.

6) Its bad enough she uses the computer for her own uses (i can assure you none of the teachers do that at all) and she still has to sing along to the songs when other teachers are having class.

You win big time man.

7) At the end of today's lesson, i went to ask her where she photocopied this set of notes so that i can continue with them next week. At first she just anyhow mumbled a reply saying that its in ONE of the books. Later the principal came in, and she promptly switched to english and without even glancing up at me, just threw another enigmatic one liner at me again. "Its all in my mind, ok?"

OK WHAT?

That is damn rude can.

What the.

I certainly didnt know your mind can be photocopied into notes. Woah~ Such an eyeopener.

I was super pissed when she said that i left the room without even saying goodbye.

You wun know how glad i am that today is her last day.

I am extremely bewildered how come none of the students complained about her. Just because the principal and eunjun know nothing about chinese means she can do whatever is to her fancy?

No wonder the small ger yesterday was so elated when eunjun told her that i was going to be her new teacher.

I forgot to comment that her english is far from what i would have expected from someone who lived in canada for a few years.

And i also left out the part she mentioned to me, albeit casually, "I think i speak english quite beautifully, so the principal should know my standards and how come he doesnt let me convert to being an english teacher instead?"

Explainations are unnecessary at this point. Everything speaks for itself.

I wasnt born to feel something against people from some countries but somehow, the same people just never fail to invoke and fuel the prejudice streak in me. I seriously consider my tolerance threshold as unusually high compared to most people but yet there still exists people who force me to reach the peak of my threshold.

Maybe because of her i was extremely sensitive over the malay teacher's comment to another teacher today. But honestly speaking, i dun wish to entertain bo liao stuff like rumours between me and eunjun. So i hope such stuff wun cross the mind of anyone and i definitely dun wish to end up as the 'school's pet' as opposed to the 'teacher's pet'. Period.
