My "Kids"

It started when I started working again..

And I'm working as a teacher,

The first time, with students from the age range of 6 years old up until teenagers.

Though I have kids with the same age range of some of them..

Still teaching your own kids and teaching other people's kids is a totally different..

My 4 boys are used to me..

They know me so well!!

I am, most of the time, a laid back person

Fun, kid around, silly..

They know when to fool around..

But I am also a strict freak on some things..

Being polite to people, respecting older people, saying the truth, responsibility..

So, they know when not to, and just do it!

They don't wanna mess up with Ibu!

The students..later, they'll know me too..

I'm not a faking type of person, that's nice in front of the students..but actually hate their guts..

It's too much of a hard work, keeping up to fake it up..

But I don't wanna scare them away from the beginning..

And I'm not scary..at all..

I just have my values..

I'm actually a bit loose with these guys..

I know how my kids are so loosen up when they're joining a course..

They don't take them as seriously as school..not at all..

I also know how kids nowadays are so swamp up with school..

And yet, they still have to go to courses afterwards..

So, learning in a fun way it is!

And, a fun teacher is how you get there..yeay!

I'm one of the game-y teacher..

The standard, is doing games on the beginning and end of the lesson..so 2 games per lesson..

My class has minimum 3 times games..and I rarely do the minimum..

If the class is to rowdy, I'll do fun projects!!

Usually I do projects that involves all the students to work together..

I try my best to be a fun teacher!

But, there are always somethings..

Things that annoys me the most are behavior..

The 'whatever' type..

The 'look at me' type..

On my good days, I'll ignore them..

But when it starts to effect the others who were paying attention to the class..

That's when it becomes bad..

No more Mrs. Nice Teacher..

I stop doing anything..no talking, no teaching, no nothing..and just stare at the person..

I use my deeper but louder tone of voice and call that person name..

I threw a white board eraser to the person once..

I cut their score if I have to..

But, that hardly ever happens..

At some point, they'll know me so well too!

I'm a very fun person if you don't mess around!

Then I started teaching college students..

It's a new story all over again..

Some of these guys are the most hardworking young people that I have ever met..

With all of their assessments and classes..with limited time, yet..seriously done, wanting to know more, doing their best..

Overtime, sleepless night, literary cut and blistered fingers,..

I appreciate them..

Even the weaker ones and the lazier ones, I encourage them the most..

And it is still a universal mystery of how the young minds work, I guess..

Because there are always cases,

when on one time someone that is so hardworking..suddenly lost interest or just broke down..

That's when I have to be seemed not panicking, calm..and try to approach them in the way that won't make them even going further away..

And talking to them, being a part of them and know their progress and problems, is my way to deal with it..

So, I'm thankful to have all of them as a part of my life now..

Giving all the colors in life..
