Pak Dek sepertinya sengaja, "Lapor tuh sama Bu Elsa" sambil nunjukkin ke salah satu anak kelas IV yang bukan kelasku. Even I know aku buk guru di sekolah, tapi kaget juga kalo disodorin masalah tiba-tiba wkwk.

Terus si kecil lapor, "Buk, baju saya robek sama Ketut". terus disitu aku langsung bingung:) What should I do ini? haha. sampe akhirnya, "dah kamu duduk dulu situ, Ibu panggil dulu Ketutnya".

Aku gatau ada masalah apa, dan setelah ketemu sama Ketut akhirnya aku cuma bisa nyiap-nyiapin diri tentang segala kemungkinan yang bisa terjadi atas perselisihan bocil:)

Dan ketika dipertemukan, aku konfirm, "Ini Ketutnya?". Pelapor mengiyakan, dan aku konfirmasi disana apa ni masalahnya. Terus Ketut bilang, "Buk, tadi dia jail sama Saya bu. Saya mau nangkep dia, bukan mau ngerobekin bajunya". terus si pelapor malah nyengir, wkwk.

Jadi, bener? siapa yang duluan salah? si pelapor akhirnya mengaku juga. Dan bisa saling meminta maaf. Aku kasi afirmasi aja, bajunya bisa dijait lagi kok, kan salah sendiri bercanda. Untungnya mereka ga emosian:" great nakku.

Terima kasih sudh jadi warna hari ni:)

Why I Quit Teaching - Teachers Explain Why They Left

Today we're going to address a few reasons why so many teachers are leaving the profession.

Personal Reflection on Gamifying Apps as an Assessment Tool in Mathematics Education🎮

When reflecting on gamifying applications I regularly use in my mathematics classes such as Kahoot, Hot Potato, Quizizz, Educaplay, and Google Forms, it becomes evident that each tool brings its own set of merits and demerits to the table.

Kahoot 🎮, for instance, offers an engaging platform for interactive quizzes that truly energize the classroom atmosphere. However, its limitations become apparent when it comes to writing equations or dealing with more complex mathematical concepts like matrices. This can sometimes hinder the depth of learning that I aim for in my lessons.

Hot Potato 🥔, with its feature for uploading photos, adds an interactive element to the learning process, which my students love. Yet, the process of sending zip folders with image paths and having students unzip files can prove challenging, especially for younger learners who may not be as tech-savvy.

Quizizz 📝 has been a game-changer in terms of collaborative learning opportunities. Its open accessibility to other teachers' games on the same topic has sparked engaging discussions and peer learning in my classroom. However, its inability to support fill-in-the-blank questions limits its versatility in assessing students' understanding comprehensively.

Educaplay 🎓 has also proven to be a captivating tool with its variety of interactive exercises and games tailored to mathematics learning. Nevertheless, it falls short when it comes to writing equations compared to Kahoot. Kahoot's more advanced equation creation features give it an edge in this aspect.

In essence, while each gamifying application offers unique advantages, they also come with their own limitations. As educators, it's crucial for us to weigh these pros and cons carefully and choose the right tool based on the specific learning objectives and needs of our students. Finding the balance between engagement and functionality is key to creating meaningful and effective learning experiences in the mathematics classroom. 🧠📚

when your student has a 3.5 hour meltdown and every time you call admin for help they just plop them back into your classroom then the student blockades the door with a table so you can’t even evacuate the rest of the class

As a New Teacher it’s important to prepare way before the school year starts. You never know the group of kids you’re going to get, school environment, the hours can be long and daunting as well. Spend some time getting yourself together before even beginning and it will make your life so much easier. This is for any grade level teacher whether you’re Elementary, Middle or High School.

Teacher's Day is also a moment to reflect on the significance of education in shaping the future and advancing society.

Happy Teachers Day

Dan yaaaa, anak-anak yang cerdas biasanya agak sulit menyelesaikan tugas sederhana. Kenapa? karena dia berpikir terlalu kompleks:)

Between a rock and a hard place

I was lucky enough to see a pain specialist earlier this month, and it has genuinely been a life-changing experience. He has adjusted my pain medication regime, and recommended several changes to my lifestyle. I am now doing gentle exercise four times a week, getting at least seven hours of sleep a night and am making an effort to eat closer to the Anti-inflammatory Diet. I feel better and my pain has reduced to a 6 or 7 out of ten.

However, there was one area that I'm having trouble with - Stress. I am an English teacher who specialises in educating teenagers with low literacy. These kids are often neurodivergent, come from trauma backgrounds or have fallen through the cracks. In addition to helping their spelling and reading, I also build up their confidence and self-esteem and make them feel cared for and valued. This is not an easy task, and I often work or worry about work while at home.

Recently, several situations have occurred, both in my classroom, and between my colleagues in my office. One person in particular has been responsible for creating a very competitive and toxic environment in my workplace. I am constantly stressed, often to the point of tears, and I have noticed my pain beginning to flare up again.

So here's the crux of the problem - Do I stay or do I go? I want to stay to help my students and to help the school community. I love our school - It is small, I know pretty much all the kids, and my husband works there. It has been my family for nineteen years. But I also want to leave. I do not want to be constantly exposing myself to these stressors and risk compromising my health and its newfound improvements.

I have a therapy appointment tomorrow, and I'm also aware that a lot of these pressures are acute and may pass in the next few weeks. It could also be the Term Three blahs - It is our longest term without any breaks or public holidays. But I also have never thought about walking away before.

I might be shouting into the void, or just getting my ideas out of my head and into words. If anyone wants to comment on this wall of text, please do so.

being a teacher does funky things to your attachment style because you're in effect signing up for a complex web of relationships that all have an end date and all of you know it but you still need to go as deep into the relationships as is needed
