Moulding the Future of Our Nation

There is some of talks about being teacher yesterday.. It really makes me think again and again! About my childhood dreams.. about all those who really make the difference in my life.. the people who mould the nation... Teachers!

There are many different types of lecturers/teachers around us! ever thought of categorizing them?? Well i have actually come up with 6 categories today! I'm pretty sure there are more! But i dun want to write all here! I've been receiving complaints saying that my blog is simply too long!! I promise to cut short next time.. NEXT TIME!! Hahaha Btw all this analysis i've done is only on those lecturers/teachers that have taught me before! Some i never add also.. cos i lazy!


Teacher/Lecturer Category 1:
Super nice, very cheerful and friendly, always very on the ball! Really like very "motherly"/"fatherly" type! Can really talk to students! This type of Teacher/lecturer are normally much closer to their students compared to other types! This category also like Aunt agony ah, can tell them about "almost" everything.. Trust them to give you nutting but GOOD ADVICE! Also, never doubt their teaching abilities! Given their naggy nature, they will always drill everything into their student's head before ending the class!! But to a certain extend, this type always get bullied by students! Often i will also bully them, but once they managed to gain my trust, They can have all my respect le! This is the type that is the most patient among all the lecturers/teachers category! They are the people whom you will feel more comfortable with. They are the ones who really cares alot for the welfare of their students!
Overall this is the type that will use their kindness to melt their student's heart thus making students, like me, always listen to them! Always associated with young-at-heart but not as in their real age thou!

Who is under this Category: Mdm Irene Koh(aka mummy)


Teacher/Lecturer Category 2:
Appears to be very Fierce, Very scary! Seldom lame with students! Always have a serious look on their face! But they can be really nice also! They can also joke occassionally! Normally their jokes are quite funny thou! This category will often draws a very clear line between students and teacher. Never overstep the line, or else you will regret it for the rest of your life! But this is also the type that always make students perform (..due to stress)! Usually in their class, there is no life! All will keep very quiet.. fearing that they might be the next unlucky chap to get punish! All under this type are very unique, they have their own ways of punishing students! You can never find 2 teachers/lecturers using similar methods to scare the daylights out of those poor students! Normally this category of lecturers/teachers have very big eyes! And they often use it to freak out their students! one thing to note.. most of they talk in very standard english!
Overall this is the type which most students fear.. unless the student is the top of class! They gain respect thru instilling fear into students heart!

Who is under this Category: Mr Barnabas Woon, Miss Kwan Eng Eng, Dr Yin(he is very serious de, i seldom really talk to him), Mdm Sue(my sec school english Teacher), Mr De Souza(primary 5 form Teacher), Mrs Tan(primary 6 form Teacher)


Teacher/Lecturer Category 3:
Somehow friendly, somehow quite nice! Always wear a smile on their face. Always deliever what they need to teach! Don't really know how to joke. Enjoy telling "cold" jokes which makes them look like a clown! They are very focused on their teaching! Normally all new and inexperienced teachers/lecturers fall under this category! But as they get more experience, most will leave this category! But depending on case to case, some will take about 1/2 to 1 year to leave this category, some will take up to 3 to 5 years! usually in their class, they can't heard their own voice, cos they still have not master the art of "crowd-control"! This type of lecturers/teachers will find it a drag to go for their classes! Normally this category of lecturer/teacher are of very small physical size!
Overall this is the type that are often targets of bad students! Always identified as "easy-to-bully"!

Who is under this Category: Miss Tiew (my sec 4 form teacher.. She was new from NIE then.. after 2 years of teaching, always tot of quitting due to stress.. end up i was the one who go and tell her to push on! Dun give up! hmm.. heard that she is now teaching in Tampines Sec!)


Teacher/Lecturer Category 4:
They are the ones that all will respect due to many different reasons! Their collegues respect them because of their experience, the students(like me) respect them because we are afraid that they might just drop dead in the middle of theclass! Yes.. i'm talking abt those old teachers/Lecturers! These teachers/lecturers can often be seen hanging around canteens and often in groups of their kind! Hardly find them with new/young lecturers/teachers, cos they can't communicate due to generation gap! They are often late for class due to their walking speed! They often dismiss the class early because they need to "RUSH" to their next class! What they teach is what they see on the book! They wun't be bother to think of new n intersting ways to teach like those new teachers/lecturers! In their class, everyone is very quiet.. due to many different reasons also.. Some are alseep.. Some writing love letters.. Some are reading comics.. Some are copying homework "preparing" for the next class! Let me teach you some ways to handle them! If you ever get tired listening to their lesson, get them to talk about their experience! They have so much of it, they can go on and on for the rest of the lesson! Once they get into the mood of talking about themselves, they will not care if you are listening to them or not!
Overall this is the type that are will behave like grandfather and grandmother. Show them due respect and they will leave you alone for the rest of the year!

Who comes under this Category: Miss Wee (My Chinese Teacher.. believe it or not, she simply loves hello kitty! WTH..), Mr See (POA Teacher.. the fella that was locked out of the class by me)


Teacher/Lecturer Category 5:
These are the ones very closely related to Category 3! They are somehow friendly and nice! Always smile! Always deliever what they need to teach! But these are the ones fully armed with experience and knowledge to fully control their classes! Their jokes are abit funnier than those told by lecturer/techers in Category 3! These are the ones who are very clear of what they need to teach.. then after their teaching, they always welcome all the Qs & As! This is the type where students find it a drag to attend their class.. cos there is no or really limited ways they can make the lecturers/teachers paisay! But everytime just before Exams or term test, these lecturers/teachers will find their lecture hall/classroom very packed because this is the category of lecturers/teachers who likes to give lots of tips and hints!
Overall this type of lecturers/teachers have no problems with students and are quite likeable by all!

Who is under this Category: Mr Richard Seow, Mdm Wee May Ling, Mdm Khin Ann Mon, Mr Boey Chee Kin, Mr Steven Tan(but he dun really give alot of hints lah), Mr Ng Wee Boon(hmmmm.... ), Mrs Ang(my geography teacher), Mrs Goh(taught me PE, and E-maths.. Her explaination really very clear de! Best sia!)


Teacher/Lecturer Category 6:
These are those who are here to teach for only 1 purpose! "Get the money and get out of here!" If you learn anything from them, good for you! But if you dun learn anything from them, its none of their business(none of mine too)! most relieve teachers come under this category!
Overall you wil find their class more anjoyable because there is no work involved! If they attempt to give you any homework, just chuck it into the dutsbin and enjoy the rest of the day!

Who is under this Category: like i said, most relieve teachers! So far, all my lecturers and teachers are among the very best! I'm proud to say there is none of them under this category!
