LOL.
ok here are some guidelines to help along somebody who is considering this
rewarding trade :rolleyes:
1:the child that leaves an apple on your desk each morning and who is forever trying to impress you is actually a right pain in the ass..your future stalker.
Don't let them blonde pony tails and sparkly blue eyes fool ya.
2:stop the class clown in his/her tracks..cos the minute you don't find his jokes funny ..you become the brunt of thier cartoon characters.
3:always come down to the level of your student ..give them eye contact and let them know your on an equal standing as them..
these days kids are bigger than you so someday you may need a bodyguard.
4:get to learn thier dialect in order to communicate on the playing field..
apparently when they call you 'G'..your classed as a mate 'shrug'
5:don't be shy to offer a shoulder to cry on or a friendly ear every now and then...most of my students come from a poor background and basically have nobody to listen to them..
6:oh and i find asking my students to bring thier fav c.d's to school and allowing them to be played during class...boosts moral while they are studying.
I have a 60% pass ratio with this method
Which is good for this area as they are the students most likely to leave school and become bank robbers (statistically speaking).
7:most importantly..students have feelings too.so don't become too over zealous with one particular child..schoolyard crushes are very hard to overcome..
So accepting a dinner date with one is very inappropriate.
