my teaching stint - where to?

I've signed up for relief teaching recently and it's been approved on a provisional basis. So that means I have to start sourcing for schools which require a teacher.

A small dilemma is what that's bugging me a little. VJ or Dunman Sec?

The former entails a relatively more challenging scope, which demands greater depth of knowledge of the field I'm assigned to teach. The environment in VJ, which I consider to be very intellectual, is something which deters me a little because I believe I need to feel comfortable in that environment where I'll teach. Of course, on the other hand, the fun and vibrancy of VJ is what's opposing the reluctance for me to opt for VJ.

The environment of the latter is something which I feel I'll be more comfortable in. Subjects at that level do not require the same demands as that at a JC. Furthermore, it will be a way of contributing back to the school, which has seen me grown alot during my prime adolescent years. The only putting off thing would probably be that the environment there is alot more unfamiliar than when I just graduated.

I probably would not consider other schools unless as a last resort. Hmph.

Oh well, I guess I need some signs as to where I should devote my 6 months or so before starting uni.

eh you cannot be choosy leh.. if you choosy then cannot get job. schools usually dont employ relief teachers for really really long, unless there's something wrong with the school (like the teacher quit or something). aileen (vj netball capt remember) is teaching in dunman sec chem and physics now. she's teaching for 1 month, which is sort of the usual time you would expect for a sec school.

go to your sec school and ask for a job ah. surely if got places they will give you first cos you superstar there :D but seriously, go ask.
