I spent the last two weeks feeling like death from having the flue to a stomach problem that made digesting food agonising. I was low on energy and I was teachingoing everyday. It was difficult and made me miss being a student the most. I fought through it all and did the best I could giving everything and falling to the floor when I got home.
I had my criteria lesson last Thursday and I taught transgender under sexuality to grade 10's. I got a fairly good mark from the lecturer but I felt his disappointed in my mark with a 74%. I had a class that was engaged and loved the lesson because finally they understood. The girls asked question and even took out their phones to show me they too know the person whom I spoke about. The school is progressive with technology and they don't believe children should be quiet at all times but when a lecturer comes in to view a lesson with a past vision of the classroom, we are not on the same page.
I guess I was frustrated and still am because I have been commended in staff meetings for my work so far. They are excited about my ideas. Maybe the education faculty is far behind where school actually is.
What is in the past is beyond my control. I will keep on working hard and challenging myself and my learners. When I give 100% I get 100%.
