Day 2 and Day 3

Author: Sushrut /

Beginning to see their colors now :)

At the end of two real teaching days, I have realized:

1. I like to use blackboard a lot of times and I end up writing a lot on it. I sincerely believe that helps. Powerpoint should never have been used for teaching.

2. My class is full of examples. Let it be Kim, who just doesn't know or may it be Jenny, who is actually a very bright student but doesnt care, and then the sincere slender guys. Each and every one is of a kind. I dont know what kinds Lissette is and I dont know what makes Eli never ever talk a single word to me.

3. They are much more respectful to their teacher and this is surprising. It should not be, I am in no way connected to them nor I am a person who gives them comfort. I am the BAD BOY for them since I make them do the most uninteresting thing in their life.

4. I see a small trend here, I dont see Kim making it, I dont see new boy Jose needing this class and I dont see why Eli, Nora, Heather, Kashira and Lissette performed badly in the test. I think they all need a class or two about exam techniques as well.. May be half class tomorrow?

5. I enjoy giving them HWs, writing them out, and making these small tests too. Feels silly, but I am actually spending time on making their exams or HWs or etc. I think that does ensure that they have quality practice, but I dont know.

Tomorrow in staff meeting I will talk highly of my class, after all I have no reason to not to do so.
