...

I've spent the whole day grading exams and trying to figure out what my students deserve for their report cards. ahah it's kind of hard, to be honest. Especially since I'm so indecisive and MY HEART BLEEDS WHEN I NEED TO GIVE BAD GRADES :( I need to work on being harsher and more brutal okay. But the kids are so nice ;-; underneath all that "omg school sucks can we go home". lmao my subjects are the most hated but IDC.

Tomorrow we're going to a funeral and a confirmation party. I already know which one will be more fun (hint: not the confirmation) and I can't say I'm much enthusiastic but oh well. It's an obligation so it will be taken care of. haha dad said that if we survive tomorrow we'll celebrate it by getting drunk together as a nice family pastime (read; we'll have a bottle of cider/wine together while watching TV).

Tomorrow is also the next ice hockey game yaay! I really hope that we'll manage to kick Russia out of the games 8D WOULD BE SO AMAZING. Already the game against the US was really awesome, it was fast and quality and really entertaining and exactly how hockey should be (aka; a good game that Finland wins, /coughs) :3

Two more weeks to go before the semester ends! Both excited and kind of sad. I'll miss the seventh graders ;-; From now on I'll be working with older kids. BUT OH WELL.

I feel like ever since finishing the SBB fic I haven't gotten anything written and it bugs me. I have so many ideas and so much enthusiasm but then I come home to a headache and general lethargy and don't do anything at all. It kind of sucks but then again soon it's summer holidays and I keep hoping I get much done :3

Also I seem to be collecting taemints on twitter. I don't know how but it's not like I mind they're all so squishy and nice ;-;

You're so sweet, lovey. <3
When I graded my essay exams, I was brutal. Like idk - I have no qualms with giving a bad grade if I know the student earned it. ESPECIALLY when I there's a mix of high-achieving and low-achieving students - don't wanna short the high-achievers.
Buuuuut I always go the extra mile to support and boost the low-achieving students. I figure that's my compensation for being such a bitch. :]

aw bb ;--;♥

I know that's how things should be, you can't give the students a grade they didn't deserve! But I'm still too softhearted and kind of try to find merit where there is none. One of my groups (the one I graded last today) is actually only the students who need extra help and push and we've been trying to get through the very basics while the other groups learn more advanced stuff. I've really enjoyed working with them!

haha and I'm sure you're amazing at what you do. Sometimes it's really necessary to be a bitch. Being strict as a teacher is good, as long as one's fair.
[identity profile] squickz.livejournal.com on May 18th, 2012 10:15 pm (UTC)
Oh yeah don't get me wrong - there are some teachers who are strict for funsies and I'm like really? I just see it as, being strict helps them grow, but there has to be follow up support - a concerted effort to help them meet the standards set. I hate when teachers are lackadaisical about it and don't offer the extra support.

And I'm sure you're amazing to, judging by how you scored a job so quickly. :]
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2012 03:48 pm (UTC)
It makes no sense to be strict when it's just to be mean! The purpose of a teacher is to make the students learn, not to make their life a living hell. I agree with you, being strict helps them grow and do their best!

I might've been just lucky :D But this is what I've always wanted to do, and I do believe I can handle the job.

Kissy Key-kisses for you! :D

Giving a bad grade isn't a bad thing - if it's deserved. If you can say to yourself "this is, seen professionally and objectively, bad work", then there's nothing wrong with marking it accordingly. At least that's what I think... But I'm not a teacher, so maybe I can't even grasp the importance of it all that well. I would probably be sucked into everything too emotionally to give any grades, lol. I'm so good x)

But one of my teachers said the same thing as you, and I think it is absolutely true: "Being strict as a teacher is good, as long as one's fair."
If you're unfair/unobjective, people will know and they will accuse you of it, especially young people will start disliking you. So yeah, I think you're building on a perfectly good principle.
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on May 28th, 2012 07:35 am (UTC)
You're completely right! The thing is, if I know the student is really trying hard but still gets bad grades, it's sad to have to give a bad one. But there's nothing one can do, they can't get marks they didn't deserve.

It's the most important thing to be fair, always! Especially with teenagers since it's really important to them, too. Plus it's a good principle in the world in general :)

Thank you :D It really is awesome. hahaha although my students don't exactly know jrock or kpop. Some know jrock but not many XD

Only two more workdays after today (and two hours left of today!) so I think I'll survive~ I hope at least, haha. Not feeling very well right now.

Oh good luck for that! :D haha and of course you can fangirl forever, you just might need to do something else in addition to it x)

I don't really know! Last time I heard he was just taking it slow, still. But might be something new came up and I missed it. haha but you're right, in tabloids it's still the same old same old XD They never learn!

asdfghjkl i'm really surprised about you being a teacher ;A; i always think that teachers are so cool because they seem to have endless patience to put up with kids and continue to teach every day omg.

anyway, i saw that it was your birthday yesterday, but somehow i've only managed to see it today. i'm so sorry! but a happy belated birthday to you dear, i hope that you had a good day :D may i know your twitter btw!
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on May 30th, 2012 01:44 pm (UTC)
ahaha surprised? I'm not sure about the endless patience -part, but at least I try XD sometimes it's hard, admittedly, but oh well. I love the job!

thank you :D I had fun, a friend of mine came to visit and we played games and ate cake and all! I feel like I'm coming down with a cold now though :|

sure! my twitter is here (https://twitter.com/#!/fonulyn)!
[identity profile] 23elevens.livejournal.com on June 6th, 2012 02:04 pm (UTC)
Yes, I realize that many people dont look the part of teachers, but they are omg. That's good, I've heard so many horror stories abut teachers not liking their jobs ;A; do well bb!!
Gosh I hope you're feeling better now, it's been a week since I replied ;A; ake care and DUI more water'! Ok I'll add you xD
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on June 6th, 2012 03:25 pm (UTC)
I think that being a teacher is something that requires certain type of people x) it's its own world completely! and thank you :D ♥

I'm feeling better, thank you! :) I'm incredibly tired now though, haha. I keep sleeping all days XD

Cool! :3 What's your twitter?
[identity profile] 23elevens.livejournal.com on June 17th, 2012 11:29 am (UTC)
Haha, saintly people especially! Most people become teachers not because they like it, which is a pity :/
Haha if you're on holidays you can sleep! Take care xD
I've added you actually, it's THEDEREPKEYED (:

XD, I just, i don't know, ended up here, and read (I kinda feel like a stalker) But it's really interesting, and, as a student, I understand what you mean, giving a bad grade isn't cool (receiving a bad grade is not cool at all!) but when it's deserved, you can't do anything about it. Some of my teachers are really strict in their correction, but honestly, I'm grateful, because you learn of your mistakes (I never thought I'll say this).

ps: I'm really sorry if there are istakes, English is not my native language, and I'm not really fluent so...
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on June 16th, 2012 07:14 pm (UTC)
haha, hi stalker! /waves

Yeah, thinking of it rationally I know it's good to be strict but it still breaks my heart when I know a student tried SO HARD and still got everything wrong :( But it's how it is, one can't give grades out of nothing.

Don't worry, your English is perfectly understandable! It's not my first language either, anyway :D
[identity profile] seungjiyeon.livejournal.com on June 16th, 2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
I understand, I really do, but like you said; you can't give grades out of nothing. If teachers could give grades out of nothing, students would be lazy, and it wouldn't be faire for those who work really hard.

*I can't believe it, I'm a student, and I'm saying that....*
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on June 17th, 2012 11:56 am (UTC)
that's true! there has to be realism to the scale :)

haha but it just means you're a clever student! you know how the world works ;) that's a good thing, definitely.
