Plans for the future....

[ Why I am not moving on ]

Yes. I had enough of it. People asking me now that I've gotten my degree, what are my plans for the future.

I mean, I understand, they all meant well. Alot of them keep telling me that I can now be a principal, and MANY of them told me to move on to primary school. Cos' being a principal/primary school teacher = more salary.

Which is good for me, cos' I am someone who indulges in retail therapy. I LOVE dressing well and pretty cos' I feel good when I look good.

SO why am I still here? Why am I not moving on? Many of them asked.

SO once and for all, I am going to say it HERE.

First, on why I do not want to be a principal. At least, NOT NOW or any time soon. Maybe one day when I am much older I MIGHT. I do not want to be a principal SIMPLY COS' I don't want to lose touch with the children.

I am sure all of you know roughly the job scope of a principal. Do you think they handle children first-hand ALL THE TIME? No. They don't. They are more often than not dealing with teachers, parents, accounts, other staff, all the miscellaneous stuff.

THEY DON'T TEACH. At least not much. They don't spend much time with the children, unless teachers are not around and they have to help out.

I just want to be in touch with the children. Yeah, so I am most likely continuing to teach...despite the low wage (as in compared with other occupations).

Secondly, I don't wish to teach primary school children. Yes, the pay is higher. But the thing is, the work load is much more too. Like dear always used to say I work full-time, but pay is only part-time(when I was working at childcare). At primary school, pay is higher, but work load is so much more. Not that I am scared of workload. After all, when I was at NTUC, workload is high too.

I don't mind high workload if the children I teach are children I really love. Primary school children are out of the question. They are no longer cute and innocent. Face it, nowadays primary school children are already talking about BGR when during my time we were still playing five stones, UNO cards and barbie dolls. They are so rowdy, I cant fathom what I will do if I am in a room full of them. It's probably either they die or I die.

Children nowadays are made of much different stuff than children of the past. They mature earlier.

Preschool children are much more different. Even though they are much smarter and mature than children during my time, in general, they are still innocent.

I am teaching nursery class now. Due to the fact that the children nowadays mature earlier, they already understand lots of things, like caring about others. In the past nursery children were more self-centered, which is normal. But the nursery children I am teaching now will ask me whether I am ok when I coughed or sneezed. They will even ask me to pretend to be their grandma/mother cos' they miss their grandma/mother.

That kind of sweetness and the things they say that are innocent, straightforward, yet smart will make me smile and marvel at their ability to think. Which I don't think I can find in primary schools.

I mean, I am sure there are good primary school children that are innocent. But I rather not take the risk and face the majority horrible ones.

Gah! You get my point now? That's all for now.

I miss Seth and Christy and Brandon:(

OH! I saw Cerise yesterday at IMM when I was with dear. She was so shy. Dear didnt believe me when I told him how pretty she is, cos' he commented that how pretty can she be when her mother is.......HAI. She really looked like those pretty eurasian, even though she is only 4 years old. Everyone who walked by my class said she is really pretty. Even I myself, who love to look at pretty things, especially girls, will find myself looking at her. HMM....we all wondered where she got her good looks from.

I must really miss them.

I better start planning for the Genting trip in June that I am going with dear and his sister and husband....

Hmm.
