I think I suck...
As a teacher. Help. I have 46 students (nadagdagan ng isa) of different year levels and for the life of me, I don't know how to meet all their different levels/backgrounds. Waaaaah!I know it's the first week of school, and my friend Grace (who always talks sense into me whenever I need it the most) just told me I shouldn't beat myself up. But I still feel so ineffective. And I don't think I'm that articulate. Plus my students can see I'm pretty young and a teaching virgin at that.
Maybe I should stick to research and/or community work. As if naman may choice ako. 'Langhiyang editing na 'yan, kung bakit ba kasi tinambakan ako ng trabaho n'ung patapos na ang summer. Ayan tuloy, I didn't get to prepare that much for the semester and now I'm cramming my ass off and making up for lost time. Pambihira naman...nagtuturo na nga ako, cram pa rin ng cram.
It's almost 7PM and I haven't had lunch the whole day. No wonder I feel so sabog, for lack of a better term.

so, how did your teaching stint go? :)
Hi, gasgas na to, pero alam naming kaya mo yan. lahat namn ng teachers dumaraan sa ganyang situasyon, pero by and by, you will be able to gain confidence and next thing you know, ikaw na pinakamagaling magturo, hehehe...
goodluck!
sanayan lang yan. shempre akala mo you suck pero sa totoo hindi naman. i also taught grade 3 reading 5 yrs ago, when i reflect back, akala ko hindi ako effective pero effective din pala
kaya mo yan. ΓΌ
Hi Diane! I was soooo happy to see your posts on my site. I don't have your email...they just cut off my Loyola account and I didn't save it to my hotmail. You'll be a great teacher, undoubtably, but it takes time to find your voice and style. Hang in there!! Miss you too! Sara
