Currently I am working as a part time tuition teacher for primary school kids. You might have some really tough time when doing this job if you cannot control the kids. For me, try your best to control the kids before they lose control. If failed, then control them back by losing control. XD
Some of my students are having exam this week. Few days ago, a mother came towards me and discussed about academic performance of her boy and how he behave in my class. At last the mother asked me a question :"So, I hope my boy get good result in exam. No problem right?" I answered :"Err... depends on your boy's performance during exam?" Then she walked away without saying anything. I know that answer will disappoints her, but there is no point giving her false hope also ma. I can't even guarantee myself excellent result, how can I guarantee your son to get good result? It is your son who take the exam, not me.
Honestly in primary and secondary school life, I get good result to please my parents. Until the first time I face a great failure in my life, suddenly I realized all I have is Buku Rekod with A's written inside. I felt that I am over protected by my parents. I cannot imagine days without them. I am not independent! How can I survive when they die? And they will certainly die one day. I was extremely worried about my future.
Luckily there is someone who told me to learn to be responsible of my life. She told me :"Live for yourself, not others, not even your parents. They can't accompany you for the rest of your life. Be independent. Make decision in life by your own and be responsible on every decision you made. You are not who you think you are, but who you want to be."
I am grateful to have such a wise person to tell me these. Thank you very much! You taught me what is need to be a responsible person and I will try my best to be one.
