How and what to ask and how to go about it ...

Just the other day , a friend asked me if my sudents could tell the difference between a big number and a small number . Well , most of the time they can't and it does not mean that they do not recognize the numbers or they are just too lazy to know them .

She was quite stressed out because she felt that she has to repeat and repeat , what she wants them to learn and know . I mean I have my stressful days too but most of the time it's not the children , rather it's with the adults that I work with . True right ? And I am sure you just get so pissed off with them . ....

So to this friend , I suggested that she apply the group work approach . It's very senang and also you will feel happy and senang as well . She left without saying anything . TO me it's okay but .... If I were her I would apply this approach at any given time .

I try to make my lessons interesting .. interaction is a must and no matter what class participation is very important to me . Because when a teacher gets maximum participation from her students , a teacher will know if her students understood the lessons and her as well .

The golden rule is to always know how to ask simple questions to gain an answer. You may think that you don't know how to ask but at times without realizing, you are actually doing it already . I find applying this approach is so mush easier on me and my students .

No more stress for me and trust me at the end of the day , you will say that you had a good day in school .
