i'm confused what to do
i'm always amazed how she teaches. with a marker and whiteboard, she weaves magic that grabbed everyone's attention. yet with slides and pictures, i bore the very same class to death. her love for her students, her love for the job, and her love for her colleagues - she's someone whom i've always looked up to and seek advice from. after teaching close to 10 years, married with kids and a major cca, it's amazing how she balances it all.
that is why, at the end of last year, when i know that she's taking my kids and dis, i couldn't be any happier to know that someone who is a lot more experienced and teach a lot better than me to take them. and i know, she's going to love them more than i did, and they will love her too. it was that fact that made me know that there is nothing left for me to worry about their humanities and that they will do great under her.
now after one month, i'm shocked by what a few of my kids said. i kinda knew it when i read it from their blogs, but i brushed it off thinking that they are not used to her style yet. now for them to verbalise it and tell it straight in my face, i was just, shocked.
some of the kids and dis told me before - she's good. it is exactly what i thought so. their blogs says so too, waxing lyricals about how wonderful it is to have her in class. i was assured. i thought everything was going right. now to hear something directly opposite of what i thought was the case? it shocked me. i was telling one of my kid what one of my di thought. that kid told me that my di didn't feel that way. it was even more shocking for me when that kid suggested that i give weekend lessons.
i don't know what to do. all i could do was to tell that kid to find out how many feel this way. i'm hoping that it's the minority who thinks this way. i guess only when we find out if it is the majority or minority who thinks that way will make me sure of what to do next.
even if it is the majority, what is the cause? is it really a case of them needing a bit more time to get used to her style or really, they cannot take her style?
i don't know what to do. correction: i don't know what to do that is best for them.
