The Jesters
They mock, bully and entertain teachers and students alike. This particular group will mock you and you'll end up laughing 🤓. They are the soul of the class. Everyone loves them. Their absence is felt first (they control the atmosphere of the class). I experienced hell teaching Junior class reproduction with this set. It was like they already packaged the bants down waiting for that topic.
Imagine me explaining how sex occurs to students that won't let you sugarcoat anything.
Summary: I saw terrible things
The Bookworms
These ones make your life easy and hard at the same time. Before you say "A", they are already saying "B". They make teaching stress free but when they start asking their questions. They can ask CHM101 questions in Junior Secondary School Basic Science which is still okay because the topics are related. Imagine a kid asking you why her family's first child is not as handsome or brilliant as the rest of their siblings in an Agricultural Science class. Perfect answer would have been "that's your family's problem" but I'm not allowed to be too savage.
The IDGAFs
These ones couldn't care less about the class. They'll just sit down and look so lifeless that you will start wondering if you're safe. They are lack enthusiasm about anything. No matter the drama and funny examples you choose to use in class, they'll just keep looking unmotivated. Some of them however are brilliant and others not so. They take melancholy into a different realm.
The Not-Bookworms
You can teach a single topic for half the term, solve all the examples in the world, use the whole ecosystem as reference, shout at the top your lungs and these guys will not understand 😥. I used to think that there are no dull students that the teacher didn't try enough. These guys changed my orientation. While I was marking exams last term, I marked a students script and he got 5/60 in my exam. I called him from the playing groud to ask what was wrong cos all the questions were picked from test, classworks, assignment and AOC I had given them. He just kept looking at me like I found his porn folder. I told him to leave and he immediately ran off to the playing ground like nothing happened. He couldn't care less. He cannot come and go and kill himself
The Teacher's Pests
Yes I used the word "pests". These group do not care if you want to be alone or you're eating or chatting. Any free period they have, they're coming for you always complaining about something, always having a story to tell. They don't believe in privacy.
The scary ones are the ones that flirt. Oh, when you have a student who looks overage flirting with you and the only thing you have in your defence is reciting "Hail Mary" and "Psalm 23" silently in your head. They dunno teachers are humans. Thank God for home training and common sense.
