I TRY TO LISTEN BETTER NOW
Wah suddenly I realise that I have been updating quite frequently. Let's not speak too soon..... I might go missing again anytime.
Anyway I was away from school again today. Attended a Basic Counselling Course for Beginning Teachers at Teacher's Network. Frankly, I would rather be in school with my pupils to finish up the syllabus! A whole day course is no incentive, especially not when I'm practically yawning the whole morning and perpetually dozing off right under the the speaker's nose. I didn't stay up that late watching my Korean DVDs ok (Oh btw, I've finally completed my Winter's Sonata!! So mum may I have the DVDs back pls!!!).
But I did pick up a few counselling tips. Hopefully I can put that to good use when dealing with my problematic pupils.
Here's a poem which was shared during the course and I want to share it with you! I will go back tomorrow and share it with my pupils too. They better listen better from then on! *I wish!*
I TRY TO LISTEN BETTER NOW
When God gave out brains,
I thought He said trains,
And I missed mine.
When God gave out looks,
I thought He said books,
And I didn't want any.
When God gave out noses,
I thought He said roses,
And I asked for a red one.
When God gave out legs,
I thought He said cakes,
And I asked for two round ones.
When God gave out chins,
I thought He said gins,
And I ordered a double.
When God gave out heads,
I thought He said beds,
And I asked for a soft one.
Since then....
I'M TRYING TO LISTEN BETTER NOW.
Yes I think I better do... don't you think so too?!
