the teachers, one by one, appeared towards the classroom. Their voices were animated that I'm sure that the practicumers were a little anxious about when to start the program. Waving, Greeting, breaking some smiles. On the board splashed the text "Goodbye, Good teachers!"
We were like characters found inside a mall--inside a shopping mall--because they had this school uniform while we had our prescribed dress!
The student teachers, then, one by one, gave their speeches: Thank you, Sir/Maam...
I got the awesome buzz on that event from Sir Marlon where he said with all sincerity that, " If you're not tough, don't teach!"
My mentee and her co-mentees really listened and looked at Sir Marlon rivetingly!
Teaching demands your temper, not only your Grammar Skills and King of Syntax, but how to deal with impatient kid, spank-challenged kid, boisterous kid, and some ten million permutations of personality of urban and pseudo-urban schoolers! Toughness + Guts + Vitamins = dedicated teacher !
