today

Today is today. Nelly Furtado is singing at TV. I got a headache that I can't stand. Everybody says I'm mad but I'm not. Each time I come here to write I forget what I have to write. My head is hurting me. I feel dizzy. Tomorrow is the referendum.
I had problems today at school. Some students threatened me. I told them to go to their moms to ask them for their education and they burst angry. I'm considering telling the Police about them. They should pay for what they are doing and saying. They need a lesson.
I asked them to write an essay on Economy. The main theme is the integration of our country in EU or the globalism phenomenon. I think that is OK with them. I suggested them to search on the Internet for the essay.
I was very angry yesterday. I had a class at 9th C grade. They were really crazy. I couldn't stop them by no mean. I feel like nobody wants me there. That high school is real bad. If only the student's parents would know what their offspring are doing at the school. No one are really interested in education quality. Those teacher are so mean. I don't understand their behavior. They hate me cause I told them the truth. They still have the communist mentality.
I was interviewed by a radio reporter and he aired bits of that interview with some of his comments. He didn't say what I really meant. This is the link where you can read about this. http://www.evz.ro/article.php?artid=299048 . Anyway, the students are so mean also, cause they were taught to be that way.
Evenimentul zilei is one of the main newspaper in Romania, so the principals and even the general inspector were very frightened. They brought me in the general inspector's office and asked me a lot of questions.
I'm so unhappy about that. I can't handle this situation. They need a lot of education.
I'm almost going crazy there at the school. I can hardly stand those wild 'animals'. I don't know what to do. I pray God to help me get well through this. O, God help me please.
But I don't wanna give up. I need God to strengthen me to succeed. There is a lot to work, and I need partners, I can't fight alone against hundreds of people. Promiscuity is the proper word for that 'high' school.
A guy from UK came recently here in Slobozia determined to work here as an English teacher. I promised him to talk to my colleagues who teach English about him.
I would like to talk to him about my problems at the school.

Education in Romania Sucks

The education in my country is still communist. The teachers are still a kind of dictators, because the process of education is not student centered. The students are still kept in classrooms like cattle. They don't move to another classroom between lessons. Sometimes they don't even open the windows of the classroom, and the air becomes unbearable. As a teacher, I've been through rough experiences in a high school in Urziceni where there are mostly rich students. They make the classroom their own space and rules. As a new teacher you have to adapt to their own environment and make nice to them, so you get accepted. Most teachers use as a discipline weapon the subject assessment mark. In Romania teachers can assess orally anytime a student, so if you think a student does is not behaving or is being disrespectful, you can 'listen' to them on the spot and give a low mark. Most teachers make sure that that specific student does not know how to answer the question. This...

Lecții de filosofie audio

Mi-am propus ca, începând de azi să realizez mai multe înregistrări cu lecții din manualul de filosofie pe care îl folosesc la clasă. De ce? Păi am văzut că multor elevi le place să asculte la căști pe telefon, mai ales în timpul orelor de curs. De ce nu ar asculta și o lecție de filosofie? Pot face asta nu numai la școală dar și când merg pe stradă, când fac jogging, în autobuz și chiar stând relaxați în pat. Ar putea face singuri acest lucru și pentru alte discipline cum ar fi istoria, geografia, biologia etc. Discipline precum matematica, fizica sau chimia nu sunt potrivite pentru așa ceva. Deci poți învăța cu mai puțin efort și poți folosi anumiți timpi morți. De exemplu, dacă faci naveta, în drum spre casă poți să asculți o lecție. Când ajungi, presupun că te așezi la masă că poate ți-e foame și te odihnești puțin întins pe canapea. Da, dat te odihnești activ ascultând o altă lecție. Iată cum poți economisi foarte mult timp. Când te vei așeza la masa de lucru nu va mai fi nevoie ...

De ce îmi place să fiu profesor?

Chair așa. De multe ori am fost întrebat și m-am întrebat de ce rămân în învățământ. De ce nu plec undeva peste hotare să-mi iau un job în care să câștig într-o zi cât câștig aici într-o lună. Ar fi mai multe motive. Eu sunt genul de om care nu dă vrabia din mână pe cioara de pe gard. Și în plus am o vârstă, sunt foarte comod și multe altele. ..............
