I told my students that I remembered what they said about the ideal class.
"Let's make it come true!" I said. "Firstly, I allow you to move and sit with the one you are comfortable with."
When I said so, they even did not move. They looked at each other. They thought I was kidding them.
But when i repeated what I said before, they started moving.
Well......I missed my first ten minutes, but it was okay
After ten minutes, after everyone got their seats, I had to start the class, yes of course...lol..
Could I do that?
(I knew you would laught at me...)
Well, you bet.....I was teaching human beings, not gods or engels...lol....
And when they were sitting next to their "beloved" classmates, all they wanted to do was.....yes...CHATTING...lol...
Did I get angry?
No...I did not, cause it was just as I expected....(mmm?)
Another ten minutes passed.....I let them that way....chatting...
In our time......in the past....when the teacher kept silent, said nothing, looked at our eyes sharply, we would soon realized something was wrong with us.
In present time? I do believe most teachers will agree with me....students --now--are different from the ones--in our time--in the past...
Yes, I said nothing, was looking at them, one by one.....observing.....and no one realized that I was waiting for them...to get ready to listen to me and to start the class....
It seemed that I wasted my "another precious 5 minutes", well in short, I had lost my 25 minutes!!!!
;-)
