Teachers unite here.

It was fun filled another day for me. Al hamdoulilah. I got lots of hugs and appreciation from the kids and the principal for my little efforts. Al hamdoulilah.

One of the problems I faced today...one kid ignoring the other. well it is not something new to me. Because I see this kind of attitute in the groups of adults as well..well with kids, i think it is different. they need to be loved, cherish more then most of the adults.

When I saw this maymuna sister ignorning the other..I threw the typical appropach out the window..and I tried to unify these two young girls..by my made up story about a girl and I not getting along then we are friends when we opened up and got to know eachother...and we were best friends in no time...

I didnt know what to say? How should I approach problems like this?

That'll certainly help 'em see stars.

Which is why it's probably better for the sake of parents, children and society at large that I am not a teacher. :brother:

*wants to be a teacher*, need to be taught first !

And i will defo make du'a for Muezzins children, May Allah (Swt) help them, Amin!

(Read in an American accent sounds funnier)

Sister, I am in my third year of education and i have taught at about three schools. Of oucrse its different if they're not really your class and you only have 2/4weeks with them. But I know what I would do if they were my 'proper' class. I would tell a story/read a book about a similar issue. Read in an animated way, really make sure you have the interest of the students. Then get the kids to do activities based on the characters in the book - their feelings, emotions, etc. Then you explicitly tie this back to what you saw the two girls doing. Dont name the students - just make it obvious some of the strategies they can use to become friends again. Get the kids to help you out - ask them, what kinds of 'nice' things can they think of doing if they werent getting along with someone...what kinds of things did they see in the book? List the strategies they can use through pictures and writing; make a chart, display them on the wall in a colourful way.

Inshallah, I hope that helps a bit.
Peace

if ders a teacher's corner, der shud b a students corner too....naa not really

but hey dis is gonna help me kno de teachers' secret techniques in dealin wid kids n proly gimme sum hints on hoe ta annoy dem more too

I'm 18 and I teach mostly older women, like in mid 30's and such, and you would expect them to be mature, and they are pretty much actually in most aspects, but sometimes they can get to be really childish, for example if they have disagreements with each other, they bring it on into class and it gets a bit awkwrd sometimes


I also teach kids from time to time, and I find them so sweet and nice to teach!! I love teaching children because they're so l ovable y'know.

^ Lol Princess I get the same thing you know sometimes from the older women, it's like they get pissed sometimes when I tell them that they're wrong
But that's why you have to deal with them with Hikmah and patience and tell them in a nice way......then they wont mind that much Insha'allah

I like teaching teens too.....but the problem with that is that sometimes they start to view you as a 'friend' and then the line between 'friend' and 'teacher' gets kinda blurry, and that's not exactly wanted too....

'Ah well....I guess it all goes back to the way we handle the situation

i find teaching tough i mean im only a kid but i mean how does the teacher cope with all that planning and kids messsing around doesnt that get annoying ....

and do teachers get paid less i mean it is probably a joke ... but i have heard many teacher say ...

Maybe one day i will earn some real money ....
