I have been undergoing teacher's training at NIE.

Teaching - I gather that many people find teaching a loser job of sorts. They seem to perceive that graduates go to teach when they cannot get better salary or positions elsewhere. A sort of dumping ground just like many who cannot get to go to the good faculties in university will take up engineering or arts and social science. But we all should know that this is some sort of fallacy. It doesn't apply to all.

I am trying to put across that I am one of the exception. It's not that my business didn't do well. In fact, I used to earn much more money than now. I was just frustrated with running the business. It's time for some formal training and learning.

I realise that the thing I enjoy doing most is teaching students from the primary or secondary levels. I love all the subjects. I thought I was a good tutor as after all I was rather sought after. But I felt like a failure at times. I felt bad that I could not improve some students. I was hesitant about teaching in schools because I know I will have a problem with classroom management. I don't think I can handle children with bad behaviour, ADHD etc. I don't trust myself to be on time for school every morning too! It's darn early! You can never never be late as a teacher! But you can step into the office late, at least true for many.

Anyway, I decided that I wasn't good at the business and going through the NIE training and leanring from all the teachers in school will be good. I need to learn about how to teach. Many think that as long as they can do the questions, they can give tuition. It's very very wrong. I did not know that there were techniques till I started the training at NIE. It's good training, albeit insufficient.

I have a goal to be a darn good teacher that whoever I put in effort to teach will improve leaps and bounds.

My family members prefer me to open another student care centre again after teaching for about 3 years. We'll see. I will always teach. As for whether it will be in schools, it will depend. I won't become a full time private tutor too. It's too boring!! I like to be in the company of colleagues. I enjoy socialising, sometime I have been deprived of since having a kid.

Don't feel like doing a language check for errors in typing.
