I apologise in advance about my future posts regarding prac because they're all going to be all over the place, but they're just bits and pieces of stuff that are somewhat worth remembering...
So... I had a pre-visit to Casula where I'm meant to meet my supervising teacher (ST) and pretty much get a chance to familiarise myself with the school before my Professional Experience (PE) started.
Before I get into the nitty-gritty, I've got a year 7 and 10 class and my ST's name is John. Ok.
John is white, in his 40s somewhere, greying hair, beer belly. He is also rather racist, sexist and sometimes a bit insensitive... Also the students there are unfortunately not very bright or motivated =(
Thing's he did/said on that day..
Whilst introducing me, he said "This is.... ... *pause*.... MinhChau Le, or Chau Minh for short, which is what I'm going to call you". HRM. WHAT? He also expressed how glad he was that I could speak English well, because otherwise he'd have to fail me...
A student of his told him that she came 2nd in a test, he said "What have I said - 2nd is 1st loser... I'm only here to encourage you" LIKE WHAT?! CMON MAN. Also I found that when his kids openly swear in his class, he just... doesn't say anything! Either he didn't hear it, or he chose to ignore it =S
Otherwise, the pre-visit was fine - the kids were nice to me, and I knew what I had to prepare for when I started prac
