1st Day at School (Teacher Version)

Today's my first day at school as a teacher. Posted there with my dear friend Haida, we went to school at 6.50am. We're staying in Gong Badak, it took us 20minutes to reach our school, SK Pusat Chabang Tiga. Reaching the school, we were amazed to see beautiful man made waterfall in front of the school office. Walking around the school, we noticed that this school is very big and well taken care off.

Consists of 2 Bilik Guru, 8 buildings, 1005 students, 31 classes, 63 teachers...

Met with the Penolong Kanan 1 after that and we were briefed about the school rules etc. He gave us relief class (classes which the subject teacher on leave or MC).

Since our relief class started at 12.15pm, we ate our breakfast and met the mentor teacher. Went to the teaching aids room and library to see any resources we can use for teaching.

Then, sembang2 with Kak Sah about students discipline and class management.

So...when we went to our relief class....that's when the story began...

We stepped into the class. No salam given, the class was such in a chaos. Haida tried to get the pupils attention, but their voices much louder than us. I took a deep breath, with all the air in the lung gush out at once I ask for the class monitor " When teacher come in, what should you do?". The class was startled for a moment and the class monitor gave salam and they recite the doa.

With a stern, loud and clear I ask them to keep all the books on the table. Since it was a relief class, we did not plan to teach anything. So we did some test on past topics.

Amazingly, the pupils obey every order, listen when I gave explanation, and response very well to our teaching. Now I know, the theory about 1st day at school really works.

The theory of 1st lesson/1st day at school.

Be very stern, make a believable strict face, tell the dislikes and likes clearly, set all the rules very well.

I'm quite reliefed that the pupils really believe at my strictness. Hehehe....that's a lesson for me today....
