Meet The Parents...

I've been asked several times why I never blogged about my job.... Half of the reason is because I'm lazy, hehehhe ^_^ and the other half is because I don't think there's anything glamorous about my work... People always thought my job is easy but to tell you the truth, it's so freaking hard... You need patience, passion and creativity to be a good kindergarten teacher... Not to forget the ability to endure high pitch voices and answering the same question over and over again... And if you're squeamish, this is not the right career for you...

The problem with parents is they always underestimated what we do... But I don't think they can last doing our job for more than 30 minutes... Mind you, we have to attend to more than 10 kids at the same time without raising our hands and voices... And we have to make sure the children understand what we teach and pay attention in the class... Children as we all knew have short attention span and in their current age (4-6 yrs old) are more tempted to play than learn...
Kindergarten teacher is in another words are overwork, underpaid and under appreciate profession ever... Don't get me wrong, I do love what I do but sometimes I just wish parents will be more perceptive and didn't easily transferred all the blames to the teachers... We are not perfect, we are human too...

Being a kindergarten teacher also comes with a few good points too... You are working half day, you have lots of holiday (yeay!! ^_~), you are allowed to act like a kid (hehehhe ^_^), and also you will never be bored because they are always unpredictable and entertaining, heheheh @_@ (you are losing weight too because you spend most of the time chasing after them, hahahha =D)
