A common target
Finally got to sleep last nite. Reached home at ard 5.30pm, ate instant mee goreng, slept from 6pm to 6am (woke up for a min at 11pm and decided to go back to sleep). I thought that I'd dreamt abt Chris calling me to tell me abt the time change in singing lesson and confirmed abt it when he called me again this afternoon (coz he suspected that I was half-dead when I answered his call). ^^;
Today, I found a common target among colleagues...
Scenario:
I was teaching my dear P2 class for an hour. I left the class thinking that my lesson ended. My dear students did not realise that there's one more period tt I have wif them. Made my way down with my eyes still bulging from the shock that I received after looking at the timetable on my desk, and saw Marco and gang running to me telling me there's another period. Decided to teach Moral Ed, since I was finally able to catch up wif the CL lesson schedules.
Incident:
While teaching Moral Ed to my P2 class, this porky called thru the intercom to my class, and asked for a malay pupil. Told the porky that I was having a Chinese class, so he's not in MY class. Told that porky to try looking for the malay pupil thru the MALAY TEACHER IN HIS MALAY CLASS.
Porky screamed: If I know where the malay student/teacher is, I wouldn't have to call you thru the intercom.
I was speechless. My class stared at me blankly. I was fuming mad. My students immediately kept quiet when they saw the fumes.
I replied to that porky: I dunno where the malay pupil is.
Porky replied: blah blah blah... Anyway, please inform the next teacher to get this pupil to go to the general office to collect his 2 books.
I opened my mouth. That porky hung up.
I started teaching a new Moral Ed. lesson to my P2 class. Topic, Why they should not behave like an asshole. Used the very nice example that they just saw, live. Very appropriate. For the first time, they saw me scolding another sch staff. Taught them how they shd react. How they shd not flare up. How they shd not think that having an INTERCOM system works miracles. Even my Primary Two kids know that the one in the general office can find ppl easily, compared to the one in the classroom. Why? Teacher have to teach. Teacher have a class to look after. The porky have lots of time to go check who is at what place doing what.
This porky is the one screaming at students to line up after recess everyday. He forgot that my P2 is going for recess right after my Moral Ed. Tell the next teacher? Pui.
Anyway the malay boy came back to class just in time be4 I brought my CL pupils to recess. Told him to go to the office and look for that porky.
Stormed into the HOD office to seek advice on how to handle this porky. (Wanted to scream at him directly but he sees me crossing the traffic light every morning at 7.10am. No, he is not the dog guarding our gate. But hell he sure behaves like one. Even the security guard behaves like a guard, not a dog.)
HOD was damn pleased that I looked for her. She had already been collecting complaints and evidence from the many colleagues. She will be lodging a complaint against this porky pretty soon.
This porky will be getting it from me if I get this kind of shit from him again. No, not the normal healthy kind of shit. It is those that u get from diarrhoea.
*Only if I can manage to reach sch be4 7am everyday. ^^;

Yah... I just was wondering too whether you really registered wat i tried to convey... cos all you replied in your sleepy voice was "ya... ya... orhhh.. okay...." and then hang up. This leaves me in total confusion. I started to wonder if i did talk to you at all.. haha. Until i called you this afternoon, you told me "Oh, i thought i dreamt that you called."
And my ???????? starts to fly...
^^;
Oh, sad to hear such story from teachers... But hope that no one sees this blog (which i dun think so...) Look at the news about blog attacks and errr... you know wat i mean lah... Best to keep identity secretive.
I really sympathize with you plight with that "assshole".
I support you!!! Let me help you further analyse the situation of Lim:
(Mistake 1)SCREAMING
-----------------------
True enough, i believe that screaming and yelling are for those weak minded, or low EQ people
(Mistake 2)Situation
-----------------------
Its totally off... Absurb to scold a teacher in front of another class.. Ask it to re-read mannerism...
(Mistake 3)Illogical and irrational
-----------------------------------
If you know that student and have no urgent matters for that student, you would have responded to that intercomm. Its a logic that simple as 1+1=2... cant that person reason?
But then, you should not have told her off in front of the class. That breeds confusion among students and they tot internal rivalry.
INSTEAD, stab behind the back is a good solution, like you did... Direct confrontation would not help if that person cannot argue... COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN and COMPLAIN.... haha
As for putting up on blogs... umm... Although assholes lets out air, "assholes" can still have their own sources of inputs... they may know.... hehe.. you get wat i mean?
Best that he knows. Anyway, I didn't quarrel wif that ass in my class. Merely used him (it) as an example to teach my class the proper moral values. Just nice.
Hang in there.... its definitely tougher if you teach MT. Will keep you in my prayers. God bless. Then again, I was the last to leave the staff room today. not the first time and i'm in the am session. well... Ming Tian Hui Geng Hao.
dear roomie!!!!!!!!!
u found your way here! woot~ gimme your blog add if u haf one too.
Yeah i somehow agree that certain things are tougher being a MT teacher. But EMS teachers get abt the same kind of shit or others too. Let's all ganbatte~
and thanks for the prayer. u r forever so committed to your religion and neva forgetting this freethinker hahaa =)
hahas .. the p2 pupils stil know how to kept quiet when they saw u fuming mad ..
