In the course of teaching Year 6 for the last five weeks, I’ve found that girls and boys have VERY different ways to communicate the same meaning.
If a child likes me/my personality and/or my teaching methods, a girl would just come out and tell me…a boy on the other hand would tell me to let him know if I have any ‘beef’ with anyone…if so, I should tell them where they live so that they may go and ‘knock ‘em out’ for me.
If a child likes the colour of my scarf or a certain handbag/watch etc, a girl would just tell me, a boy would ask me ‘how much did you pay for it’ and if I like that ‘sorta stuff’ I should let him know cos he ‘knows someone who can get it for me much cheaper’.
If a child notices me struggling with bags/books etc a girl would just offer to give me a hand to my car. A boy however, would flex his muscles, point out how strong he is, and how tiny I am compared to him and would make some point about how I could never carry that load before picking up more that he can actually handle and then dropping them all half way to my car….
You cant seriously expect a guy to tell you straight up that he likes what you wearing or whatever, thats jus a bit queer...hi, nice scarf miss

u'd be surpirsed at how many sissy boys there are these days
ones who actually notice and admire ladies handbags, jewellery etc
im not surprised, they are growing unfortunately - the days of a man being a man are almost over

Every class these days has a couple of 'sensitive, more in touch with their feminine - more likely to get on with girls than boys' - guys.
So, some will be able to tell you straight up that the colour you're wearing is actually so 'in this season'.
Thats another thing I've learned. There's an increase in the number of more 'feminine lads'.
would you say a good bad or niether thing?

The thing with guys is that...they cant win.
Women wish that guys would be more understanding, considerate, caring, patient, etc etc
But when they actually make an effort, women complain that men should "act like men"!
Its this middle line...which is confusing for guys and girls.
I have macho, sexist boys in my class who tell me that '"its the woman's job to clean"..so I've made them "Classroom Moniter's" - and its their job to sweep the whole classroom at the end of the day (even though we have cleaners for this sort of stuff).
And if they dont do a good job - they get a detention.
But at the same time, when boys talk to me about fashion, I tell them not to be so silly and go and play footy with the boys.
Its all about striking the balance, every man should have a caring side, but not be totally camp....u knw what i mean. Know when to be macho, but when to be understanding, caring etc.
being manly tho, does not mean sexist attitude - you clean, your place is in the kitchen etc.
The perfect example is the Holy Prophet (SAW). Shaykh Ul Islam talked a bit on ideal couples and their roles last Al Hidayah camp
I cant stand it when you get guys who's interests are shopping, dressing up, cosmetics, talking about celebs etc....my brother and one of my best friends are like that. Guys should be into sports, cars, or some manly interests

The "New Man" is a good thing, basically an all-round nice guy who can act like a gentleman and still help with the washing up, not to be confused with emos and spoiled, camp fashionistas. None of those are so new, but men have had to take more account of chauvinism. Hasn't filtered through to all of society though. Some of what MuslimSister is saying I can barely relate to, like these tough-as[size=12]s[/size] kids. I don't like that.
[size=10]The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.[/size]

They may call it the new man, but i wouldnt say its actually a new thing. But i agree, i dont like tough-ass kids, nor the camp fashionists

After spending the day rock climbing, doing some archery, walking on twisted tight ropes over dirty water, I've learnt that team building helps you learn a LOT about others and yourself.
Today, during my outdoor activity day with my Year 6 class, I was so surprised to see the natural, efficient leaders emerge during our team building excercise. I wouldnt have known they had it in them in the classroom.
I was also surprised to see how many people think about their selves when their dignity is threatened....such as when I screamed and threatened my team with detentions when there was a possiblity that their mistake would result in me being thrown head first in the dirty lurky water....and when after I saw a couple of, larger kids mash their teams faces in with their feet, when scrambling to climb over this massive wall...I offered to help the smaller kids climb over the wall and quickly climbed the wall myself...leaving the larger kids to fend for them selves :?
You also learn who to trust during activities like this. I told my class that if I fall in the dirty water because of them, I was taking them all down with me.
It was also surprising to learn that some acedemically bright children fail to see simple logic. I found this hilarious.
...I had one kid tangled up, in a net over the river (all he had to do was crawl through and make it to the other end)...and he just couldnt work out how to get out...he remained stuck like a fly in a spider web for 25min...and in his struggle to get out, he was losing an item of clothes at a time. ...I gave myself a stomach ache, cos I was laughing so much.
I think that every team of staff - wherever they work should spend some time doing team building excercises. As they really do bring teams closer together.

How does that compare with other religions?
Is it from a certain place?
I assume the survey had it that the person surveyed must have an internet connection?
(Not jumping on you. Generally interested as well it seems a little odd to me.)

Kids are kids wheever you go.
Their race, ethnicity and class makes little difference to their attitude, behaviour and honesty.
And if you want a honest answer regarding your, teaching, personality, capability, appearance - or anything at all. Just ask a kid.
lol so very true

-Children have a strong sense of fairness, honesty and a tremendous insight into matters…I got my class to complete a “end of year teachers report” for me - and some of my strengths and weakness they identified surprised me – for I thought I knew myself very well.
-Job satisfaction – is a strong feeling of contentment and inner glow.
-Medical secretaries, childcare workers, cleaners and the clergy are UK’s most contented workers. Whilst telephone fitters/those in telesales are the least satisfied.
-People who are ambitious, optimistic and generally positive, sunny people, are more likely to be successful in life - even if they have a low IQ.
-No life decision should be made in haste as your priorities, passions etc change on a yearly basis
Ive learnt that almost every problem has a solution!

i learned:
'Rubber bands' in German in 'Gummibänder'
Don't just do something! Stand there.
* I learnt that no matter how much you try and help a person - some people will never change habbits of a lifetime and leaving them be is a safer option!!!
* I learnt that having bad experiences in life, and also seeking guidance through Islam made me a better person. Allahamdolilla.
* I learnt that my parents were always right even though whilst growing up I didnt believe that.
* I learnt that you should always count your blessings and view the glass as half full rather than half empty.
* I learnt that Allah will always guide me in tough times and we should always pray.
* I learnt that no matter how negative something may be you should always try and view the positive in everything.
* I learnt that I never knew what love was until I had my son.
* I learnt that no matter how bad things may seem to us there is always somebody worse off around the corner.
* I learnt that no matter how much a person can know and how high their IQ we all still have so much more to learn.
wow...suddenly my rubber band revelation doesn't seem quite as pertinent
Don't just do something! Stand there.
some people are ungrateful and rude enough to PUBLICALLY take the piss out of presents they have recieved
