A Teacher's Diary

Body Clock

September 24, 2014

Wednesday

I'm very sure I just had a dream. I always dream... But as soon as I woke up this morning, it shattered. Like a memory, it's been forgotten.

I hurriedly checked the time. 6:16 AM. Suddenly, I realized my alarm didn't work. Then I remember the reason why. I changed it yesterday when I was teaching Hailey Math. I wanted her to solve multiplication under time pressure like what they do in Kumon, so she'll be fast. Good thing, my body clock has set itself. It knows when to wake up.

Red Alert today. Girl thing.

Another training session with Trisha, Prince and Princess for the Regional's Journalism contest. I just gave them an activity in regards of subject-verb agreement.

Binigyan ako ni Kristin ng name embossed sticker. Whatever that's called. She made me with a name embossed AJ CANLAS.

During my discussion with my grade 3 pupils. The lesson of the story we have read is to obey parents. At kaya lang naman sila pinagsasabihan ay para matuto sila. Sabi ko din.. walang magulang ang hindi mahal ang anak. But then... they reacted.. Meron daw bad parents. I asked them, "How did you say so?" Then I found out na may mga adopted pala sa kanila. And one of this pupil said she hates her real parents for leaving her in the hospital when she was born. But I explained to them na, there's reason for everything. Na hindi dahil iniwan sila ng biological mother or parents nila.. hindi sila mahal nito. There might be a reason behind it. Like for example, hindi kayang ibigay ng totoong magulang nila yung mga pangangailangan nila kaya mas pinili na lang na iwan sila para magbakasakaling mapunta sila sa mga mabubuting tao na magpapalaki at magpoprovide ng mga pangangailangan nila.

Ang komplikado pala ng mga buhay ng mga bata ngayon. Produkto kasi ang iba ng mga hiwalay ang magulang. O kaya... maagang pagbubuntis. Nakakaawa sila..
