To the young female teacher of Greenwood Primary: "One rotten apple spoils the whole bunch." And how much this quote is reinforced by your words and your actions today.
Positive feedback? I do dismiss what you said as that. Complaints and sarcasm did nothing to improve the already tense atmosphere that anyone(if they had eyes to see) could feel and so they would refrain from making things even harder for us.
And your stance: arms folded, eyes shooting daggers at me.
Tough to ignore, but I did it. At first.
you: could you please switch on the fan over there? I think it's hot enough already. you: yeah, so they are going to sit on the floor and do the test (when the chairs weren't available yet, and I was searching frantically for more)
I am simply utterly amazed and astounded that one can possess such great powers of deduction and think up new ways of taking a test!
All you did was stand there, kick up a fuss, and complain about how poorly run the whole event was. undoubtedly it was badly organised, but what created more chaos and a hint of high blood pressure that would occur in my later years on my part was your inability to be more co-operative and understand that we were trying very hard to make things run smoothly.
the ultimate: telling your fellow teacher that I have a bad attitude. please remove the plank in YOUR own eye and see why i could not contain myself and lashed out at you. your own bad attitude instigated me to do so. and yet you still waltz around thinking you know how to run the whole show? proud loser.
still, i am truly grateful for the many other teachers around who understood the situation: the Malay woman teacher, the ACSJ teacher who told me not to be upset. Thank you.
My parents always wanted me to be a teacher. After this? No way. But i am comtemplating being a relief teacher at Greenwood Primary after my 'A's.i'll show the world what a good and true teacher is like.
