Teachers through the ages
(primary vs secondary vs tertiary)
Hmm teachers.
Let me start off this topic.
Not a easy one since i am not a teacher myself.
So i shall talk it base on a student's prespective.
Well, in terms of salary wise, i wun noe.
Primary sch, Teachers rule
Secondary sch, Most students rule
Tertiary, Mutual respect
From my experience, most of my primary sch teachers were basically fierce and strict, such that whenever the teacher says 1 , most students wun dere to say 2. Physical punishment too lolx. Gosh i got my ears pulled for untidy handwriting. Stay back during recess just to do penmanship.
There was one day where the whole class was asked to eat apple during recess as part of healthy diet regime.
I couldn't finish my apple by the end of recess and was punished to stand outside of the class to finish up !!
My primary sch fren was punished to take off his uniform and walk outside classes all becuz he din bring his PE T-shirt. Woots~
From wat i feel, teachers in primary sch's are training their students to be discipline and at the same time make their life easier, since thats the growing age.
Its easier for the teachers to control the students since most of them are more or less the same as they have not developed their each individual char and personailty.
During Primary sch, 1 to 2 teachers are allocated to one class since they will be teaching them most of the subjects. LOLX
That was those days in my time, I wonder anything change.
Ok lets move on to Secondary school era.
Students grow up.
This is the crossroad of their life i would say.
Rebelling stage starts, peer pressure comes in.
Teachers have also 'upgraded'.
Their mentality is also different from a primary sch teacher.
Sec sch teachers tend to noe more about students and will have more life experience to solve nasty cases when it involves the students.
Teachers will need the ability to tell right from wrong.
Discipline comes in more importantly too.
"Uniform tuck in", "No ankle socks", "No loitering outside sch"
Not achieved = Dentention
Major ones will result in caning or police case.
Gosh y is just studying becoming so complex.
Hahax the teachers not only has to supervise students in sch, but also students outside sch, in malls etc.
Some internal conflicts between students have also to be judge by discipline masters and all.
Teachers are also answerable to the principal for the performance and action of their class.
The teachers will find it harder to educate the students as compared to primary sch students since each individual students have developed their own character and personality.
Last but not least teachers from tertiary education.
Thats my current education stage now.
Teachers also known as lecturers now treat their students as adults instead of their students.
To them is like 'I am willing to teach and is here just to teach', 'to learn or not to learn is your own decision'.
There is a mutal respect between students and teachers.
Perhaps at this point of time, students have matured differently.
Tertiary has become a place for learning and not a so called defined school anymore.
The teachers and students now are more multi racial i would say.
Communication between them is more like between frens.
No more physcial punishment.
Communation is also mainly done thru email.
Is like the working society. Adults with adults kind of life
Teachers need not bother much bout the students since most have matured.
Tertiary teachers main purpose is just to impart their knowledge to the students. Case close.
Thats what i conclude so far base on my personally experience so far, any additonal ideas just tell me.
