Jus finished a Pri 4 camp. Though some have said the kids were quite rowdy and uncontrollable, i think my class was not too bad. Yea i mean sure, they made a lot of noise, they talked when u're talking, but there were some pretty awesome characters in there. They're kids. They're supposed to be noisy. That's why kids have the most fun. Adulthood isn't as fun. Keeping quiet and worrying too much abt subtlety and wat other ppl think, while constantly judging ppl on everything that's different from themselves.
The camp was centred around the 5 values of Social Emotional Learning and they played the usual team-building games. It was funny to watch them attempt the games and scream at each other when frustration kicked in. I didnt really see the pt of helping them too much in the games. The pt was to let them fail so that i would have more to say during the debrief. Hahaha.. If they were so gd and cooperative, I wouldnt need to be there would I?
The most irritating kids were the ones who were spoilt, guessing its their parents who spoilt them. Seriously if they were my kids i would feel so guilty for letting society down. Asking them to pick up a plastic bottle to throw away was like forcing poison down their throats. Throwing angry fits over the slightest thing and always wanting their way. Oh.. And wats more.. This grp of ppl are sort of in the same clique. 造句: 被宠坏的孩子都在同一派，把 Birds of a feather flock together 这个话发扬光大。Some still screamed at me when they din get their way. HAH! I showed them who could scream louder. Tremble in Fear!
I'm nt sure if i changed any lives, but i was pretty impressed by some of them by the end of the camp particularly during the preparation for the campfire skit. I was pretty impressed wif myself too. Hahaha.. I came up wif the script in like 10 mins. But i was impressed there were volunteers ready to take the lead role. I tot the whole skit was pretty gd and everybody was ready to put up their best performance, but....
Damn.. We didnt have time and our performance had to be fast fwded. It was sad that the kids efforts had to go to waste. And the parents that were constantly expressing their displeasure and asking if they could bring their kids home jus showed how little they cared about their kids. To all parents out there who don't give a shit, "YOUR KIDS SPEND 3 DAYS LEARNING ABOUT THE VALUES OF LIFE AND PUT IN HARD WORK TO PUT UP A SHOW FOR U, IF YOU'RE TOO BUSY TO TURN UP FOR THE CAMPFIRE, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS SHUT UP AND WATCH THE PERFORMANCE THAT YOUR CHILDREN HAVE PREPARED. NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE JAM OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL AND ASK TO BRING THEM HOME B4 THEY'RE DISMISSED.
Ahhh.. Feels much better.
