today was quite the nightmare cos my coteacher was on mc. after being away from the front of the classroom for so long (ok la only one and a half weeks haha), teaching was really really hard. especially to a group who needs me to repeat myself over and over and over again, coupled with a hyperactive boy, a boy who just can't stop talking and a plain rude boy (who REALLY pisses me off argh.) my patience was really like gone by the first period man. esp cos they blatantly thought that just because their teacher wasnt here i was going to play games with them. and maybe i would have, but i was given like this whole set of things to complete by the day. it was just complete shit. AND i'm so fed up with them calling me 'mrs goh', 'miss ghost', 'cher' and several other mangled names i can't even remember.

but anyway. today while i was eating, i was talking to a fellow teacher, and i've come to the conclusion that being a primary school teacher really is quite a good job. as a teacher, esp if you teach morning session, you have pretty darn awesome working hours, as compared to office hours. not to mention the school holidays. other jobs, you wont even get to see 20days of holiday in a year whatmore a whole month off in december. and you save so much on your meals because canteen food is cheeeaap. and really, i'd rather interact with kids the whole day than be in some bitchy office environment. naughty kids you have authority over is wayyy better than taking shit from superiors who have authority over you. and finally, why primary school? because it's the same pay as secondary school, and the kids are at the blissful state of innocence not teenage angst and hormonal imbalance.

oh yeah, and today as i was leaving school, a girl in my old math class was like excitedly bearing news of the return of my king of terrors (who had been having full blown chicken pox). it was damn funny. she was like 'miss goh! ****** is back already!!' and pointing and pointing in the direction of this boy in home clothes. hahah well, now that i dont teach him anymore i dont mind that much that he's coming back. in fact i think i kind of missed seeing his cheeky face during morning assembly. hehe

and i really miss my 3joy kids :( booooooooo.
