First day at Pan De Azúcar Public Secondary School - Primer día en Liceo de Pan de Azúcar (Eng-Esp)
Friday, 24. April 2009, 23:25:50
Today was my first day of classes as teacher in Pan de Azúcar. I had 3 groups of first level today, 12 years old boys and girls. All the groups are different (as groups), but it was a pleassure to work with them this first day.
I had a little problem, and is I can't remember names easily, and there are an average of 30 students per class, and is a nightmare for me in some moments. But I hope to know them well.
To work in a public space is a little different than in a private one, in some facts. But children are children, and they face the same problems, have same dreams, same questions, and are ready to learn no matter the place they are to study. I think I will learn a lot from this experience.

Hoy fue mi primer día de clases como profesor en Pan de Azúcar. Tuve 3 grupos de primero how, chicos y chicas de unos 12 años. Todos los grupos son diferentes en cuanto a la manera de ser los grupos en sí mismos, pero fue un placer trabajar con ellos este primer día. Tengo un pequeño problema y es que no puedo recordar los nombres fácilmente, y hay un promedio de 30 estudiantes por clase, y se vuelve casi una pesadilla en algunos momentos. Pero espero conocerlos bien.
Trabajar en un espacio público es un poquito diferente que en un lugar privado, en algunos aspectos. Pero los chicos son chicos, y encaran los mismos problemas, tienen los mismos sueños, las mismas preguntas, y estan listos para aprender no importa el lugar en el que se encuentren para estudiar. Pienso que voy a aprender un montón de esta experiencia.

Teatchers are so importent to the children as an alternative grown up and someone to look up to! especially nowadays when there are so many brooken families and missing parents.
It is a big responsibility To have the children-our future in Ones care!!
One of the most importent works we can have!

You are right, it's a big responsability to be teacher, and not an easy work (well, there are not easy work at all). Each student is different, and because of the factors you indicate, some of them are difficult to keep in class without disturb. Patience is important yes, and also to try to "read" their attitudes. It's like psychology job, I think. And I feel happy when I see good reactions from many of them.
But one of my great experiences is when I see eyes that show happiness for learning a new thing every day. That is my treasure. Telling this is good to myself for not forgeting my goals.
Thank you again!

Unluckily, today I had my first wrong day there. One of the students made something very violent in one of my class
It's like you say:
and sometimes that is one of the reaction...
