it's been almost a month now that i have been exposed in-depth with children who are studying..
before, i just deal with kids for quite a short time..most of which, i see them really enjoying, so carefree, energetic and the like..
however, this experience i have lately, exposed me to their other side..other side which is not that so foreign idea to me..i used to encounter these behaviors in books and some in real passing encounters with them..
when i get to see kids, it seems that i am giggling inside because there are just something distict in them that drives me to be like that!!! actually i cannot fathom why..hehehe
so here it goes, my experience now is like changing a bit my fondness in them..
these days, there are times when i just want to yell at them so that they will pay attention with me..
i just want but i really don't..
ok, sometimes my voice gets to be a liitle bit louder but definitely i do not yell.. am i defensive?
i know that their attention span towards things is so limited, so short!
and inasmuch as i want to understand it, i just cannot always think about it as my reason not to impress on them things that they ought to know.. in my case, the lessons we have this summer vacation..(yeah, it is summer vacation here now)
i am their teacher and i ought to teach them.. i am pressured by the expectations of those who hired me..
but come to think of it~~~ what if they are not interested? will i force them to learn? i do not believe in the learning founded by force.. learning is an option and it is always better if it is done out of one's freewill..
at the back of my mind, when kids want to play--let them be.
do not steal their childhood from them.. they are too young to be pressured but what society expects to be good.. they really don't have to be brilliant, they just need to learn how to use their common sense..the most important thing is-they should learn how to be practical thinkers..you see, society became chaotic because of too many brilliant and impractical people..
gee!!! kids, kids, kids..
they are mild yet stubborn,
they are enthusiastic yet easily gets bored
they are innocent yet crazy
they are a bunch of ironic pretty worth-noticing gifts from heaven!:)
