thank you blucryst! yes i climb 4 floors up and down everyday as the school has no lift and the classes i teach span from first to fourth level. i don't think can be relieved of duties. my school has seen so many super pregnant women who can take on more than anyone else even when pregnant... so i am told not to slip in performance as under comparison, may affect my ranking.
rachelle *hugs* we are all with you! teachers scold so much, especially in neighbourhood sec schools like mine, and i assume yours too, the students are so defiant and rebellious, can't really teach without raising the voice and settling the kids! a pregnant colleague says she has to keep telling her baby not to learn from these kids and not to let mummy's scolding affect it.
i was told to be careful, take good care and not take too many MC. =( i know it's because my superiors genuinely care for me and worry that taking MC will affect my performance so they gently remind me out of concern, but i've been sick for a long time and not getting better. i've seen 3 different doctors and taken so many different types of medicines already, each doctor gave me 4 to 6 types of medication. maybe because pregnant cannot take too strong medications or consume 'liang' stuff, so my sore throat is not healing and it's really beating me. a teacher without a voice. it's making me really depressed, plus to deal with no break over term break next week.
