Teaching Experience with Class Mates
Our mathematics teacher was on leave for one day. I being the monitor of the class, approached the Principal with the request to send some teacher to our class. The Principal told me that many teachers were on leave on that day so it was not possible for him to send any teacher to his class. He asked me instead to keep, the class busy and do some teaching work in the class. I felt nervous at the proposal.
Our class is considered to be the best in the school. Many a time we have won the medals for cleanliness, discipline, studies and sports. The students are very much well behaved, studious and obedient. It was these qualities of the class that gave me some confidence to face my classmates as a teacher though I was one of them. I decided to do the home task with the class assigned to us by the teacher the day before. I asked the students to show me the home work. They readily showed me their notebooks. I marked some sign on them in token of having checked the home task.
After checking the home work I found that many students had not completed the home work. They had found some questions difficult and were unable to solve them. I took up those difficult questions one by one. I solved them on the black-board for those who had not done them. The class was very much co-operative. I solved five questions on the black board. The students were very happy. They asked me to assign them the home work for the next day. I assigned them five more sums of the same exercise as home work. The period came to an end. I was happy that I had successfully conducted the class in the absence of my teacher.
