Class Went Disastrous!

I totally forgotten about the Writing Workshop until my husband reminded 2 days ago. Honestly, it was a bit frustrating for me. The projector couldn't detect my aging laptop and I should have mailed the 'guru media' straight so that he could prepare everything. I forgot to bring my marker, lucky the students lent me theirs.

Well, normally I had back up activities but this time, the back up activity didn't go well either. I have to admit, I could have just ignored the fact that my slides were out in the drain, and I could have used my other activities but I guess, I was just too annoyed that everything went blank.
Things got worse especially when the noises get louder and you just couldn't hear anything they answer and the rest of the students got noisier.

For once in my teaching career, 1 and a half hour was way longer and I couldn't wait for the class to end. I admit defeat that this was the very first time class were out of my control and the most embarrassing part was .. they were not even half the crowd that I handled before. I was frustrated, angry and at one point felt hopeless.

One thing about me that has never changed is the fact that I just cannot teach if I can hear a single whisper.. and I really can hear a single whisper. Sometimes I wonder if it's a gift or a hindrance from teaching. This time, it was an air-conditioned room but the problem when it's fully tiled and has empty wall.. voices seem to be louder that it's really sounds (which made me annoyed even more).

I really pity those who really intend to study and try really hard to focus due to the noise. I pity those who couldn't follow the teaching and the activities because there is a clash between our study styles. The person whom I pity most is definitely the teacher who had to endure the babbling about their future (if this kind of attitude keeps on going on). I think I was a bit harsh when I spoke to them about their attitude. I wanted to convince them badly that 3 months is still enough if they ever intend to get 5As in their UPSR.

Am I going to give up on them, NO! Don't worry guys! Teacher Nina will be back! Not that soon.. but as soon as I know what would be the perfect activity for you.. I'll be popping near you!!! :D In the mean time.. just wish me luck!
