The classroom experience

I’ve been teaching my kiddos for over a year now, and yet it just occurred to me that I haven’t blogged about them much – if at all. That’s quite shocking because personally I think there’s no place more eventful than my classroom. As much as you might think a time table gives you routine, not a single day is the same. There’s always so much happening – good stuff and annoying stuff – that there’s just no room to get bored.

So I’ve decided to dedicate a new blog to my experiences in the classroom: not from my initial childhood days, but from my second innings as a teacher.

Why Second Innings?

• Because coming back to school as a teacher is an innings’ jump from my own school days.
• Because I get to see the game from the perspective of the other team.
• Because some things are different: I genuinely enjoy going to school now.
• Because some things are still the same: Holidays are highly appreciated!
• Because during my own school days, I never imagined that there would ever be a second innings.
• Because the second innings is the game changer.
• Because this is my chance to do things differently: change things I did not like.

But unlike the game of cricket, this game is not going to be over at the end of the second innings.
