Bad Class Control
I have a phobia of entering Two Diligence. I can't control the students well. My morale has almost gone phut.
They shake their heads when I ask them where their textbooks are. They don't write anything in the distributed worksheets. They make noise when I am teaching. All my language games are bland to them . They like comparing me with other teachers. They doubt my credibility as an English teacher.
Recently they like to practise street dancing in my lessons. They perform one-arm push up, cartwheels, tumbling and whatnot. My warnings fall on deaf ears. I can only pray that they won't get hurt.
Some of them also like to play truant. They let fly at me with a stream of curses when I admonish them. I find my enthusiasm for teaching gradually sapping.
Only the girls are attentive in my lessons. No wonder female students account for 70% of the entire university population in Malaysia.
Some teachers told me point-blank that my teaching was too insipid and uninspiring. It's painful coming to terms with the fact that I am ineffectual.What should I do to make the students look up to me? I am at my wit's end.
