o.O 3 hours....Originally posted by rainee:yea...30 minutes lesson shud be alrite...here usually my lesson is for 3 hours...but for adults la, but still really a challenge to talk and talk for 3 hours
i once gave a A level bio lecture to my student for 2 hours, non stop...
almost died. mentally, physically (my voice), spiritually, and aesthetically. -
Originally posted by starblue:and i can say the same for the students...
I wanna be able to read thoughts. xD -
haha yea...here also last time I feel my pay is not worth the sh!t I have to go thruOriginally posted by starblue:i know all jobs have their difficulties... but the main thing is whether or not the pay justifies the kinda sht you have to endure.... the previous pay scheme certainly did not appeal to my more pragmatic side. but with that increase, that neon light kinda fades a bit to the background.
But now with the increment seems better liaoz, and my parents also stop complaining already

yea, the older the students get, the harder it is for them to see you as their mentor or role model, esp if you are pretty young.Originally posted by LazerLordz:depends lah.

like for me, it was very hard to get the respect from my students at first. because they were questioning my ability since some of them are the same age as me and there were a few who were much older than me.
So i guess in this sense, it is better for me to teach primary school la -

which is kinda why i have been considering getting a basic secretary diploma (should be a piece of cake lah, most such courses require only O levels or N levels de)... then get a secretarial job that pays about the same as teaching.. in my limited imagination, secretorial jobs are less taxing and much much less sht for the pay to be justified against... -
you sure you graduated successfully from uni??Originally posted by hisoka:i fall alseep within 30 mins of almost any lecture.
actually, i have an inkling that the student stopped paying attention after the "carbohydrates comprise of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen"...

yea sometimes I wonder how come I can talk for so long...Originally posted by starblue:o.O 3 hours....
i once gave a A level bio lecture to my student for 2 hours, non stop...
almost died. mentally, physically (my voice), spiritually, and aesthetically. And I have been doing it for like the past 1 year?
Of cos got break in between la, but most of the time I talked for roughly 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes...
My IELTS class not dat scary, cos although 3 hours but most of the time the students will be doing their work in class, so the max time I spent talking is only around 2 hours at most -
yup yup.. and when i was relief teaching, the students were only about 3-4 years younger than me only. and they know it... so they only treat me like a big sister.Originally posted by rainee:yea, the older the students get, the harder it is for them to see you as their mentor or role model, esp if you are pretty young.

and we all know how big sisters are being treated nowadays.... -

Originally posted by rainee:yea sometimes I wonder how come I can talk for so long... And I have been doing it for like the past 1 year? amazes me as well...

which is most often right after the third sentence.

yah hor... i also realise that as i go up the grades, my attention span in lectures gradually decrease leh... why ah?? LL also got this kinda experience not?? -
but they open-eyedly sleep on me leh...Originally posted by hisoka:better than those like me that openly sleep and doze off -
probably becuase you subconciously realise that you will forget all the lecturer says anyway until its time for revisionOriginally posted by starblue:

but cna't blame him la, cos he has been working before coming to the class...so very tiring and hard for him to pay attention I advised him to quit his job to focus on his studies, which I am glad he did just recently... -
