not Half day

Let me get one thing straight before we start! Teaching is not a so called 'half day' job. I have to be at school from 07h00 'till 15h00, which you will see is the same amount of hours as a '9 - 5'job. Sometimes we as teachers have to stay longer on days which we coach sports. And then after that we still have to take the learners' assignments home to grade it, so our work goes on. So just to be clear, (especially to anyone whoever said that teaching is a 'half day' job and that teachers never work), we work as hard as anyother person out there. Probably harder than most.

Wow! Now that I have that off my chest, I can breath again. Don't worry! I'm not always this hostile! I just needed to state that for the sake of me and my fellow colleagues. Some people really think that teachers don't have real, fulltime jobs. Just a question to those people:Would you feel safe if your child is at school with a teacher who is 'sitting around and doing nothing while you pay the school-fees?
Didn't think so! Now have a little faith!

In this blog I am going to talk about my teaching experiences. This year is only my third year teaching. I don't have any trouble so far, but should I come up with a problem (which I will then write here), you are welcome to give me advice.

Happy learning!
