It was such an eye-opening experience. I am really thankful that I had the opportunity to experience it. What am I blogging about?
Well, my school had arrange for this one outing for some of the P4 students to go and help out at Special Needs School or more accurately, would be a kindergarten. It would be a weekly visit, each time different teachers accompanying different group of 8 students there. Today, I was my turn.
I had never lend myself into such activity so far, so this was my first visit. Certainly, seeing the children with various characters and characteristics, so special in their own way, I cannot but feel an admiration for the teachers there. It certainly requires patience and much skill to get tap into their attention span and teach them.
And here I am thinking why some of my students are behaving the way they are! Well, compared to those children there, I am certainly just blessed to get naughty children. At least, they understand what you are saying and their attention span goes far beyond seconds!
That said, though, I do not think that I would want to visit the place again, at least not without any friends around. It certainly needs courage to go there. And also, not during school hours. I was exhausted by the time I got back. You need to be fit to be a teacher, and you need to be VERY fit to a teacher in Special Needs school.
