Being a teacher is challenging (not
hard).
That is my reflection of my two
weeks of teaching experience. Last session of PETA class, we were discussing
about the teaching experiences in each school. I had no idea why I laughed all
time that session. It was such a funny thing to hear my friends’ story about
their teaching experience.
There was one story that made me
inspired. The story from Ulpan Dimas and Ahmad Apriyanto. They told my friends and
I that before they began to teach they gave the students the brain teaser,
after they collected the result they were very surprised that none of the students
could make it good. Then they told the students that before they started to do
the exercises they had to read the instructions.
They inspired me to do the same
things in the future. The funniest story was coming from Nurul Hidayah that her
students were very attractive (the boys) when the bell rang and they just told
her, “Time is up Miss. Time is money!” Wow. I was shocked. In my school, SMA Negeri
54 Jakarta, I did not experience bad things, I guessed. But, my friends had
(what I thought) wonderful experiences.
One thing that I realized that being
teacher is not only about delivering the materials but also about making
connection between our students and ourselves.
