Post"老師的挑戰"
29-12-98
現在當老師比以前確要面對更多挑戰.
一.薪津問題:
經濟不景,現在老師的薪金相對地高,令社會人士質疑老師是否"物有所值".
二.問責性強了:
有QAI(質素保証視學),有家長教師會,有家長作成員的校董會,有很多發表意見和投訴的渠道(學校網頁,新聞組,傳媒)...
三.不斷要求老師充實自己的變革:
要用全英或全中教學,要懂資訊科技教學,公開試要加校內評核,語文基準測試...
四.法律方面的問題:
人權,私隱權,知情權,平等機會,防賄條例...這些要求愈來愈多和愈來愈高
五.社會文化的問題:
家長因工作而照顧子女的程度不斷下降,低俗的傳媒文化(性氾濫,口語化的文字)...
以上有很多是老師應該積極去提升自己來面對的,但當中亦有一些叫老師無能為力的.

你的同學在上堂時睡覺並不代表你當老師時必會發生同樣的情況.正因為你現在是學生,你就可從學生的角度去了解此問題.是課程太深?老師講得太悶?師生關係已很差?同學本身無心向學?教學語言的問題?在其他老師堂上或其他科目有沒有同樣情況?這些分析對你日後執教鞭非常有用.做老師的專業(或挑戰)就是讓學生上有意義的一課(未必真的要教到一課書).好明顯"lots
of my classmates are sleeping"不是幾十人聚在一班房的目的.希望你不要因個別的情況而灰心,將來做一位好老師!(畢竟在中三時就立志當老師的不多呀)

學校承諾第二次面試便是簽約之期確是不妥的做法.我很同情該位應徵者.我估計是該校同時考慮兩位人選作第二次面試,而你的朋友是學校的SECOND
CHOICE.學校先約見FIRST CHOICE那位,若FIRST CHOICE不出現或不肯簽便到你的朋友了.老實說這情況在聘請的一方是常用的手法.至於那位職員的說話能否看成學校的承諾又或當中有沒有用上"可能"之類的字眼則有待大家探究了.

To a certain extent it is. You have to deal with thirty to forty students,
each with different problems in learning and socialising. You have to mark the homework,
prepare notes, teaching aids, teaching schedules, accessment papers, worksheets and
teaching lesson plans(may be). You have to be a class master/mistress, a club advisor, a
member of a funcitonal team like guidance, a house advisor, a teacher of three or may be
four syllabuses.You may also have posts like teacher development, teachers'
welfare,advisor of students' association or parents and teachers association. You have
also occassional works like training students for competition,publishing school journal...
The above descriptions are not exhaustive so far.....So what? I still like to be a
teacher.

Post "翻版的啟示"24-11-98
在一個煙霧漫彌的地庫商場,一位金毛少年在喊:"一百蚊五隻!"另一貌似道友的亦在嚷:"買o左唔駛去戲院!"夾雜在人群中有黑社會的"天文台"...不用學識,不用技術,不理法
紀,那賣翻版的少年每日做幾個鐘相信收入已好過很多人.養活這班人(和幕後的人)是誰?這些情景看在眼裏對我們的青少年有何影響?偶有一間賣正版的則乏人問津.那堅持賣正版的老板思想出了什麼問題?他左面和右面賣翻版的貨如輪轉,他無理由看不見.他很傻?入去買正版的更傻?

Post "Exam adjusted for IT" 22-11-98
Educators always say that the teaching in Hong Kong is too examination
oriented. Apart from the vast amount of content, the examiniation syllabus has a lot of
facts to memorise. Now we are speaking of IT (Information Technology) in education which
requires the skill of collecting facts and analysing facts, rather than memorising them.
In my opinion the exam.syllabus have to be revised to:
1. further cut the content,
2. impose more analysing skill rather than memorising skill (provide more data or formulas
in the paper),
3. put more weighting on teacher assessment.
I am talking about exam syllabus not teaching syllabus. I suggest to cut
the exam syllabus because I want both the teacher and the students to have more time in
preparing lessons and learning the techniques in computers. In this beginning stage, both
the teachers and the students are adapting to the IT environment, so work load of teachers
are increased. Furthermore,there is not enough teaching material to share among teachers.
I agree with you that if IT is running smoothly and modes of teaching are developed well,
both the teachers and the students are using IT comfortably, then the exam syllabus should
be increased.

Nowadays many schools have the problem of having outsiders wondering around the school's
surroundings. They are usually younsters just quitted school.They usually have their hair
dyed, smoking and chatting with foul languages. They wait for the students afterschool and
sometimes find their targets or just want to make some trouble. I think it is a
responsible act for the teachers to advise their students to stay away from these
gangsters. Not all people waiting outside the school are bad guys but it is understandable
for the school to try to make it a safe place for the majority of students. If you think
that the school is really doing
something very unreasonable, talk to your parents and let them discuss the matter with the
school.
It is wrong for the teacher to "ban" the students talking to each other at
school. May be he doesn't want the students to gather at the front entrance of the school
and chatting there. I think he should "advice" rather than "ban" the
chatting of the students.

If the government wants to promote IT in education, the students have to learn through
self-learning, they have to find information from internet
and other sources, they have to "digest" the knowledge instead of
memorising them... a lot of new data analysis skills and presentation
skills are needed. I think the syllabuses of all subjects have to be
revised or may be shrank a little bit. IT will upgrade the quality of
education but on the other hand it demands more preparation from teachers and more time
from students in searching, discussing, presenting, assimilating the data. The style of
exam. should also change to cope with the new mode of learning. More data should be
provided in the test papers for the candidates to analyse, relieve the students' heads
from memorising hard facts.

十隻手指有長短,話"每位"老師係儘責,講課生動有趣,"全部"文科出身老師識教理科生英文,"所有"理科出身老師識教文科生數學,呢d講都無人信.但我們要看看一般的情況.一般的老師都不懂做事嗎?大部分老師抵俾人話嗎?好多老師一日講足六七節,假期補課,寫網頁教學生,改簿至凌晨,星期六日帶隊,...這些例子比比皆是,只不過無人特別去講.今次蕭明事件無錯係有批老師處理手法有問題,但我地亦應該看積極的一面.如果唔係老師儘責,
唔見錢?話之你啦!今次我不同意如此搜身的做法,但我亦向那批肯真正勞心神處理案件的老師致敬.

資訊科技教學其中重要一環是多媒体教學.它可以令沉悶的教學內容變得活潑來.好像作天見到有老師用powerpoint教中史.當中有圖畫,有卡通動畫,有特別音效,再加上老師風趣幽默的講解,大家都期待上下一堂.我覺得更重要的是老師趁同學有興趣時要帶他們討論,引領他們課後找資料,否則同學的得益只止於看一場show而已.

I think the nature of QEF is the same as all other project based funding:
you have the right proposal, they give you the necessary money. If the
approval of the proposal is based on whether the background of the school is better then
you are right, it will make the richer richer. But if the
assessment of the proposal is based on the project itself then it is a fair
deal. Someone said that we should put more recourse to a minority of
schools and let them bring out fruitful results first, so that we can have
some models to follow; while others prefer we injet money to all schools
equally because of fairness, well, this is a long debate...
