10 steps to be a PROFESSIONAL teacher

It made me so mad that I can't take my nap. I kept thinking that I should blog about it right away!

10 steps to be a PROFESSIONAL teacher? =P

• Disallows students to phone home when the student is unwell
• Scolds students for doing their own work when she's not teaching
• Eats sweets in class
• Plays handphone in class when the student is presenting in front
• Blames students for faults that they did not do (can even cry in front of other teachers - fantastic!)
• Hates the class even before she starts teaching them
• Keep on commenting the class in front of other teachers (behind the class's back) [in other words back-stabbing]
• Grumbles for having to teach type of students that she dislikes
• Doubts the work of students, thinking that students simply do her work
• Can only think of the students' negative side (for everything that the students practise is negative - not even a single positive thing in them)

Due to the encounters I had in school for the past few years, those are the conclusions I made. I've always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was young. However, as time goes by, I really felt that I'm actually having an ambition that is... (don't know how to describe). I used to think that being a teacher is a very noble thing. Now, I guess I will have to change my mind. I remembered during my life in the primary school, I'm always discouraged from being a teacher (especially form my teachers of course!). But, my parents supported me. That is why my dad "insisted" on me to pursue my studies as a teacher (which I don't wish to at the moment). When I enter into secondary school, things started to change. I have teachers telling me that being a teacher is a smart choice. Look at them (they said)! Yes.. They're well paid, happy in a sense that it's only half-day work, etc. I was rather encouraged actually. I have even teachers advising me on which route to go. Thanks to Pn Tan and Miss Teh! Now, I must really think thrice! The longer the time I'm in secondary school, the less my interest in teaching. This is the relationship between the time and the interest in teaching (too much Physics). IT really kills my interest seeing the way teachers are nowadays. No doubt, there are good still teachers out there. But, the good ones are only minority. Sigh...! A big big SIGH..! This is such a sad news. Anyway, things might change my mind again (for example: God's plan for me). At the moment, I'm aiming to study early childhood education or psychology (ONLY). No one knows whether I can study what I want. Only God knows...

*I'm so glad that I'm leaving AMC soon for I don't have to be involved in unnecessary school politics, "swallow" unnecessary blames, suffer from unnecessary scoldings and much much more unnecessaries... BUT, one thing for sure - I'll definitely miss all my friends and all the teachers who have taught me (no matter they're good or bad)!

Good: for giving me good memories

Bad: for giving me nightmares
