In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills.

But what if your teacher turns a little younger, a little immature?? What if your teacher don't have the usual lesson plans?? what if your teacher actually wear the same uniform your wearing?? What if your teacher happens to be your classmate?? hmmm.. Quite impossible huh??

Know Your School Day(KYSD) is an event in the University of the Philippines High School in Cebu where students get a chance to act as teachers.. Weird??!! Ibahin nyong U.P.!! Astig school namin!!heheh The whole event is a time for students to tap their teacher's back for a job well done.. It's also a time for students to thank their teachers for not only being a mentor but also for being a parent.. U.P. Faculty rocks!! I'm not doing this because I know my grades are a bit shaky this year(well, 50% true.. heheh I am at your mercy Sir Basadre!! huhuh) but I just want to thank you guys for molding me into a better person!!.. Kachar oi!! heheh.. Anyways, this blog entry is about my classmates being teachers.. So let me start with the opening of KYSD..

KYSD was opened last January 25, 2007.. Unfortunately, being my usual lazy me, I almost got late and I had to run from the gate to the volleyball court just to be in time for the opening(I already have four tardy marks and if I will add one I'd be suspended.. huhuh).
How does it fell being taught by student teachers??

1.) Basically, I feel COMFORTABLE looking at my classmates in the front doing the lectures. It's not like the usual discussions where the teachers have to do the teaching. Having to focus on listening to every word the teacher says and scribbling your pen fast enough to catch-up with the talking teacher sometimes intimidates me.. It's not like I'm not used to listening to my teacher's lectures but its just that I feel more at ease listening to my classmates. Maybe because I can't feel the teacher aura or maybe because my classmate is not a figure of higher authority.. I just can't figure it out!! hahah

2.) I feel INSECURED.. Why?? Because I envy those people who have enough guts and courage to apply as student teachers.. I don't feel responsible enough to be one.. I feel I don't have what it takes to be a student teacher.. hahah.. Lack of self-confidence?? Not really,. I just know I'm not that responsible to take on a higher responsiblity.. I even have problems surviving my student life and here I go asking for more.. heheh..

3.) I feel a bit CONFIDENT to participate in classes.. I don't have to worry about committing mistakes.. When I'm having a difficult teacher-student lecture, I need to put-up a "look!! I understand the lecture and my answer is correct!!" image to them.. Not because I want to impress them or so, but because I don't want them to feel that I didn't understand the lecture because of their way of teaching.. Actually, U.P. Faculty uses effective teaching techniques.. They try their best to input as much information needed.. It's not their fault I'm just too dumb.. heheh.. In the case of participating in class handled by student teachers, I don't have to worry about mistakes.. I feel a bit carefree.. heheh.. Quite confusing?? Even me myself is confused with number 3.. I'm sorry I write poor english.. heheh

That's just basically what my reaction to the KYSD.. It's a good thing I reached 500 words.. Thanks for reading by the way..
