I just started my second practicum last week.I have to tell you that the classroom is like a torture chamber. The kids can't sit still. They are very active compare with my previous school's pupils. However,they are too noisy. 8 weeks in school and now I am counting days to escape from it asap.
Kids nowadays are just plain rude. Set ground rules??? Crap.
Never smile to them.
So demotivating....but I still have weeks to foster good realtionships with them.Just hope that they can give full cooperation for the following observations. THAT'S WHAT I WANT FROM YOU.KIDDO.
Happy practicum to my fellow friends. :)
