Every Tuesday and Thursday, the school where I work holds English Day where teachers, staff, and students wear an “I Speak English” pin and interact in English. I think it is a great programme as it is my first time giving instruction in English.

It was my first time working in a public school. I was assigned to teach Grade 4 at a public primary school in Jakarta. I was told that a student with special needs would join my class. I was startled when the student with special needs had a meltdown in my class. His friends said such incident happens frequently, where the said student screams for no reason and walks out of the class.

Teachers are often regarded as students’ “second parent” at school. As a “second parent”, I take care of the students as their parents do at home. Keeping an eye on many students at once is challenging. Some students cry easily, and some younger students still need assistance to use the restroom properly. It takes tremendous patience to do these tasks.

It has been eight months since I started teaching at the primary school where I was assigned. I have gained a lot of experiences; two of them are the most memorable.
