Diary of A Student-Teacher #Week1Day2
Today was entirely different.
I missed going to my assigned school because the examination that was slated for 11:30 am was shifted to 8:00 am and then when I arrived at school, the examination was no more 8:00 am but the original time. Unfortunately, I had already waited around for over 2 hours before I got the information. It was annoying and frustrating.
Nevertheless, I wrote my examination successfully and I later went for my home tutoring engagement.
Let's say, this was the only Student-teacher experience I had today.
Some of you may not know and some already may know, I recently launched my homeschooling and online tutoring agency called Bees Learning Hub and I also serve as a tutor there.
Today, my student was amazingly responsive. I don't know if it is because I had told him I was in no mood to be stressed.
This is however in contrast to our encounter the previous day when he surprisingly broke into tears when I asked him to write and all effort to make him stop crying proved abortive. At that point, I was totally clueless on what to do. We really did not learn much that day. At a point, I thought it was some sort of mood swing as he kept saying “Leave me” when I asked him to write. But I tried not to be too compelling.
At that point, I was in one of those situations where I absolutely did not know what to do. I am sure a lot of teachers have experienced this a number of times in their classrooms. If you are a teacher reading this, kindly share your experience and how you dealt with it.
I am grateful today was different and our class was interactive and productive.
Although I missed going to my place of assignment, I am sure I did not miss too much as tomorrow is another day!
I cant wait to share tomorrow’s experience with you all.
Don't forget to share, comment and clap.
