I only realized this week - that for my Form 5 class I am nothing but another teacher that may possibly leave them AGAIN just as their last FOUR Biology teachers did. My heart dropped to know that I am teaching students who don't really care a SHIT bout school much less Biology. I have realized that sometimes the education system "creates" this type of child and behaviour. An exam class without a teacher for many months and they (according to them) were treated as the class that really didn't matter. I ended the class by having them stand in a circle and saying what they taught about Biology, why were they even doing it. The response? Not too heart warming on my part.
But I prayed. I prayed about it. I really did. I want to see them do well and be better. But beside that little "incident" - the week was again fascinating. My lower school classes always make me smile. They always ask the most fascinating questions and always make the quirkiest comments. I just smile.
"Miss, where you used to teach before?"
"Nowhere, I wasn't a teacher before."
"Really Miss? Why?"
