No Free Time

I wasn’t able to post anything in my blog last week because I was so busy, my schedule was o full, I don’t have any vacant time at work and my computer at home wasn’t working well. I was so preoccupied that I couldn’t even have time to open and check my blog. But this week, no matter what happen I will set aside a time for my blog.

It’s really annoying because every night before I go to bed I need to study for a while to prepare my lesson for the following day. I used to it though because I’m a teacher but things went out different when I was assigned to teach extensive grammar to my students since last, last week. Can you imagine I need to read a lot of grammar books to prepare for their possible questions when they got confused! What a work!!! It was good though because I was force to teach things well and recall the things I learned before.

You know guys! One of the greatest challenges of teaching stems from the lack of immediate, accurate feed back. The student who walks out of your classroom shaking his head and muttering under his breath about grammar may burst into class tomorrow proclaiming his triumph over English, and thanking you for the previous lesson. There is no way to predict precisely what long term results of your work will be but if you have a sense of purpose, you can cultivate expectations of success for your students. Thoughtful preparation makes good outcomes more likely than bad ones.
