I've been doing this since 2001 minus the three years I was at UWI and each year is so different!!! This year seems to be the most challenging so far but I have to hold on tight cause this thing will only get tougher...Our first set of Universal Secondary Education students are in the fourth form now and it is HELL!!!! They can't even write a proper sentence and for a minute there I wanted to ask 'what the English teacher was doing?' but I shut my mouth yes cause you can bring a horse to the water but you can't force it to drink...or something so! I have form fives AGAIN....and AGAIN I am expected to turn water into wine and have them pass the CXC exams....so I banned the Narinesingh...can somebody please write a textbook that is suited for the students that I teach? and we are doing themes...[I acually am learning something at College] they so enjoyed the theme of smoking and now we going on to women in society...they seem to understand the summary and comprehension and story writing and arguments better...but their writing is still horrible but let us see if an interest in their work will transfer to better writing...[is this how this works?] I mean they getting to watch 'movies' so it's not as if I am boring them...am I? And, like Max I am doing my Dip in Teaching English...yes this is what the Jackasses at Cavehill call it... a lot more work this year but it all ends June 05th!!! So I dunno if I pass any of my assignments so far but what I fretting for? This is UWI, things won't change in a hurry...Let the games begin!!!!
Well, that's it folks...Week five of the term has began...let's teach our butts off and make the most of this term
