Hey ho, I know I don't have any followers yet. But in case someone is reading this diary, I want them to read something worth reading for.
I want to share about my teaching assistance experience, it's all begin with my parents ambition (LOL) to make me come back home, I wasn't home for four years, so even I already had a good position as a role-play center teacher and daycare keeper in a preschool, my parents still wanted me to go back home. What can I do as a powerless child, yeah at least I want to make them happy so I came back home.
My first problem of going back home is the lack of relationship and networking, it's been 4 years, I don't have any network to find some good job and all of my old friends is busy with their own problem, their own tiring job and so I'm totally alone here and in the first day here, I was just think that I will be jobless for couple of months.
Luckily there is a preschool near my past neighborhood (my family moved 3 years ago which is mean I know nobody in my present neighborhood). Back to the story, the headmaster called me and asking me to work there as a teacher assistance. I have nothing on my mind unless to say yes on that time. I just need a job, so that I'm not jobless.
and now, I was fight with my own perception about early education. anything I learned about ECEC wasn't practiced here. the situation in this preschool is what mention by Armstrong as an academic achievement discourse. ( I don't think it is a preschool anymore, it's more alike preparation institution for children to enter elementary school with 3 activity : reading, writing, counting).
I can't speak up and just tell the headmaster, teachers and parents there about what the real early education is, everybody have their own perception and as a newcomer, I just want to do my job and try to minimize the level of stress of my students, sometimes I try to joke at class, make such happy conversation with not mentioning about learning, they look happy too.
I don't have a though of quit for now. I only work for 3 hours a day, which is mean I still have another time to learning and doing another things, and now, I'm on process of applying a scholarship.
Wish me luck, dear anonymous readers.
