nans,
pri sch kids more fun n cute lor, rmb i taught P1, P2 and their tables n chairs were really so cute-kiddy size version kind n their worksheets have alot of cartoons, so cheerful n easier to mark, as compared to sec sch. sec sch also got to b nanny, preacher n friend all in one. got to balance the different roles so that they dun climb over our heads n got to nag them in a nice way so that they are more receptive to your nagging?!!
Grace,
haha... gd idea coz between us n karrie, we already cover the core subjects!
if we in same work environment, sure got lots to chat on bb one...
yap, sch free periods very erratic, our lunch hours can either b super early or super late. then free periods also not exactly 'free' coz got admin work n at times have to chase after students for their work,etc. not easy man...
sanbebe,
at least u can tell if ur bb hungry. my bb cry non-stop, hours on end, until i no longer know whether is he hungry or not hungry, coz he's so worked up until v.hard to gauge if he's hungry, i just go by approximate timing...
karrie,
same feeling here, i like smaller kids more, coz they are easy to ignite enthusiasm. noticed that the older they get, the more reticent they are n its hard to get spontaneous reaction from them, but one thing i realised that the older they are, the more they are able to emphathise n be sensible, if they want to be!!!
pros n cons to teaching pri/sec.
kris,
i emailed Marta and told her about my super cranky bb, she's ok with it. my bb's cranky moods is not predictable at all, can happen whole day/night n drag on for long hours. not easy to handle him. hopefully he'll benefit fr the massage once i learnt it.
