promiseland (cont)
Well its 2:50, right now, after promiseland and all that other crazyness,
*sighs* not as great as i’d had expected kinda stressed, disapointed, and feeling defeated,
and again back home a bit lonely.
promiseland was ok, scheduling went totally of course cause we didn’t have time to set up the mat, and so we sacrificed time for that, and when we actually got back with the program, the other classes were hurrying us (*sighs* miscommunication), so we went out and it was ok… starting get a bit of control over of some of hte other class’s kids whom are really ‘wild’, they’re quite for the most part, while the teaching is going on, back in small group tho that was crazy, kids everywhere playing yelling shouting, patience thinning out, hitting maximum tolerance level, and i’m kind of sad… so many hopes, seemingly dashed to pieces cause i couldn’t manage the class
we ended up going over time 12:15, and even then we were barely through the activity, so i did a quick wrap up..
i feel sorry for the few whom really want to learn, whom really want to listen … i want to open myself up to them and have a good time, and yet most of my time is again dashed to pieces and i find myself talking firmly at them, wanting to wack a few of them (i haven’t yet.. and really don’t want to), *sighs* — frustrations i had fault in it myself tho, not prepping quite as much as i wanted to.
A bit of cheerfulness, one of the kids was really happy that i was teaching, another asked how long i was teaching and wanted me to teach another term, had some good conversations about new years and such, but man… those annoying kids really spoil it for the rest. I think i might have to change my control style… giving them too much freedom, might have to apply a stricter control in class, and get more of them to sit outside if they don’t want to participate… tho i really hate to do that,
blah
frustrations stress dissapointment
oh wells… got lots of work to do today
mainly English Mini-Essay | Calculus / Physics Practice? (hopefully) | Organizational Studies (type up notes) | client (website)
