Good start to the week

Apr 17, 2007 11:59

I spend my Monday mornings from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Evergreen Primary School in deepest, darkest Woodlands, teaching scriptwriting to P6 kids. 4 classes, of which I believe one is EM1, two EM2 and one EM3 ( Read more... )

It really sounds fantastic! Thank you for being a good teacher to the kids. We have vendors coming in and they're really bad at what they're paid so much to do, I feel really bad for the kids.

That really sucks. It does make me angry to know that there are a lot of people out there who don;t know what they're doing.

Eh, thank YOU for being a good teacher. I only pop into enrichment programmes now and again. But you're there every day fighting the good fight. It makes me feel better about the local education system to know that there are teachers like you out there.

Sounds like a great day but i bet the best part was I was so proud of her I nearly burst.

Haha, definitely. I was like, who taught her that? Because, believe me, I'm no born housewife.

What a beautiful day! I can hear the happiness that flows in between the sentences and the V Tea Room sounds really wonderful - have to try it the next time I'm home.

Yes, you must! It's pricey, but definitely worth a visit.

definitely a great day, and a meaningful one too! :)

how did you start teaching scriptwriting? never knew they had that in schools!

terminalcase42 April 19 2007, 00:44:36 UTC

I teach drama and that branches off into related areas like puppetry, speech, writing and drama therapy. It just so happens scriptwriting is what this particular school signed up for so I tailored a lesson plan for the company to give to the school and I'm also one of the trainers teaching it.

sounds like a great day.

what you told me about the kids struggling, yet trying so hard? those kids, they are the ones you can make a difference for, and who will remember you all their lives for your kindness and belief in them. i think what you are doing is fabulous.

I know! These are definitely the kids who stay with me and make it worthwhile for me to have gone into teaching in the first place.

This reminds me of the first such experience I had. Going to blog about it. :)
