What Not to Do with pictures

Now I know what not to do with my class pictures.....

Looking Back on Photos

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, he's a doctor.'"

A small voice from the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher; she's still old, nasty, and wrinkled".

If Johnny Were A Millionaire...

In a classroom: "Take a pencil and paper," the teacher said, "and write an essay with the title 'If I Were a Millionaire.'" 

Everyone but Johnny, who leaned back with arms folded, began to write furiously. 

"What's the matter," the teacher asked. "Why don't you begin?" 

"I'm waiting for my secretary," he replied.

Suppawit School's Delousing Program

Our school availed of the Benzyl delousing agent from the government hospital.

Benzyl solution freed the students of Suppawit from louse.  On Friday, the 17^th  the school  administered the delousing program .  Delousing solutions were supplied to the school  to help promote good health among students.

Students as well as parents were now happy .  Busy parents need not to worry , when and how to delouse their kids but on the other hand it meant  another job for the teachers.

All advisers were on their designated areas ready to combat the parasites.  They patiently combed the Benzyl solution on the students’ hair and after some minutes,  the shampooing and washing activities. These were the assigned tasks for  the teacher aides .

Getting ready

Applying benzyl solution

bye-bye louse..

The students went home comfortably- that is, louse-less!

My Naughty Students Have Improved

Today, I wasn’t expecting a good change from my beloved 5J’s. After the  heart to heart talk  last meeting with them , I wasn’t expecting much. I was used to their  broken promises.  I quietly waited for the class in my room as usual. They came in and settled themselves. As usual the leader of the class  announced to everybody to greet the teacher. So, all the students stood up and greeted me "Good afternoon". I started  the days’ lesson and hoped they will listen. To my surprise all of the  students  were all listening to me. What a mystery! Did heaven strike on them? Deep inside I was smiling and hoped this will last for centuries. I took  the chance  who knows this might not last for a minute, an hour  or for days.  I went on with the lesson. They were all participating in the discussion. There were still noise in the classroom but it was lesser than before and I could still manage. I praised the whole class  when they answered me correctly. I saw smiling faces .

 If Tommy has improved, my naughty students did, too.

How about next meeting? Well let’s see…. Coming up next…

Teach and Learn Part 4

My Naughty Students  Made Promises

Today I planned  to call on the names of my  students one after the other  so I would know who  owns  the notebook with the  word SE_ that’s boldly printed on the cover page . My students came into my room. They were very quiet this time because their adviser  sent them to my room. Oh, my beloved students were behaving good this time. I was a bit happy but didn’t let the students notice it. We finished the day’s discussion . I wrote the sentences on the board and instructed the students to rearrange  them according to the story. The students were quietly working so I was thinking this wasn’t be a tough day.  Before the bell rang,  I collected the notebooks . I started with number one ,  two, three and so on until I caught the culprit (who owns the notebook with the  word SE_) I set aside his notebook. Others followed to hand their notes and at the end I gathered 6 notebooks. They did not write anything. I dismissed the students leaving the 6 students behind. I asked them why they didn’t work while infact  the activity was easy. I started   to ask  Jessie ,pointing at the word, SE_”Do you know this word? Will you read it for me?” Instead of him answering me his friend Joshua read aloud and laughed. All of them began laughing.  I told Jessie to erase that word. Now I faced  the other student who doesn’t belong to the J’s group.  I asked her,  Poi (not the real name) why didn’t you work?  Do you do this in your other subjects?” YESSS!, the other five chorused. I went on.  “Who is your mother?” She answered me in Thai, ”TAENG TE GUET MA CHAN MAI KUEY HEN MAE LUEY”( Since I was born, I didn’t see my mother.) So I said, “Why do you speak like that. If your mother will know about it, will she be happy? BLAH, BLAH, BLAH . Now I faced the 5 J’s. “Last time , you promised to do good. But why ? Why didn’t you work? See your notebooks . There’s nothing in it except your drawings. How many times you made promises with me? (Jinky started counting her fingers to play jokes …)Do you like to me to talk with your parents?  Tell me honestly. Do you respect your parents ? If you don’t ,well this is the school whether you like it or not you have to. This your last chance I will  report this to the principal and you  will be reprimanded.” Blah blah blah my heart was aching. I didn’t know what to do with these students. I was fed up. But suddenly the  students chorused, “KOTHOT KAP ,TEACHER. CHAN JA MAI HAI TEACHER GROT EAK LAEW KAP, CHAN JA TANGJAI LEYAN KAP”. ( I am sorry teacher. I won’t make the teacher angry again. I will intend to learn.)They were all staring at me . Their eyes were turning red and were pleading. I couldn’t believe what ‘s going on.  But it’s enough am tired of them. I sent them  to their room after my last word. We were all quiet. I hope they meant what they said. They were sorry. UGHHHHHHHHHH my heart…..

What’s next ? Will they be the same?
