Small bites of the work

Form class - the form teacher is a confirmed Neanderthal man with regards to teaching. His form teacher lesson just gives the class time to talk, and to heck with all the rules and expectations setting stuff. He just grunts out a few instructions that's all. The class lacks discipline and manners, and it is my top priority to correct that before anything.

Teaching of English - The class's current English will leave in week 6 and I'll have to take over then. Meanwhile, I have to work out how to help out in the teaching duties too, if only to let the class get used to me.

Teaching of PE - pretty brainless, because NAPFA testing is the main activity for the term.

Basically in a Normal Technical class, things move at snail's pace because they somehow subscribe to the notion that they should behave like lazy brats and be nagged at. They are the most ignorant bunch (their midyear English paper is a joke) and also the most egoistic and rude students you'll get in school. Teaching content is definitely not the most important thing for them, that can come later. They first need to learn about the values they need to exercise for learning to occur.
