I was walking past my neighbouring class today when I realized that a colleague was having her observation session. The VP, HOD and an MOE personnel were there. I could really feel the tension. It's really a scary thing to be observed on a formal basis whereby within the 1 or 2 periods, you're being judged on your teaching as well as class management. Moreover, children are unpredictable. With 30 of them, if any of them wanna "tekan" you, he/ she could do it easily. I heard that some children do do that sort of thing "-_- Even experienced teachers fear such observations so I can imagine how it would be like for me, should I ever be observed formally for the first time (provided I stay on in this line...).
Poor thing. She later told me she slept at 3am just to do preparations. Probably because she's married with kids so she could only do it late late at night when she has finished her other chores.
