BULLYING TEACHERS IS IMPEDIMENT IN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

 


Bullying is a question in educational system in general. People are bullying others just because they are facing bullying in their lifes out of the school. They may have problems like coming from divorced families, being abused someway, being subjected to violence, injustice and discrimination or living in socio-economic imbalances. However school and the teachers are there to build an ideal society. As a teacher I can say it is not that easy but it is our job to do it so. If we are in difficulty in aligning the pupils, we must give it up. There are lots of candidates who are so eager to work as teachers outside. I know that the system doesn't let teachers intervene in the same way as pupils behave. So it is a hard job.  Whatever you say, child is a child. You can be a good teacher only if you set up emphaty with children. I don't remember a day I give up. The video you will watch is annoying and disturbing but it is also a good lesson for teachers who have difficulty in ensuring class domination.

PREPARATORY MEETING - TURKEY

As Hanım Ömer Çağıran Middle School, we organized a preliminary meeting in our school for our future Comenius Project; "My Digital Friends". Although I send all our partners an invitation for the meeting, except Eve Vunk from Estonia, no others could participate because they couldn't get grant from their National Agencies. That's why, we have conducted the meetings of the project with our Estonian partner. We have asked for our partners' ideas on developing the project application via email. We have had a busy week full of brain storming. Our councelor, Mrs. Azime Ünal; ICT teacher, Mrs. Melike Nar; English Teacher, Esra Süoğlu and our officer, Mr. Adnan Öztürk were very helpful during the meeting. Our manager Mr. Osman Nuri Batmaz was there whenever we need. He did his best to make the project application successful. Mrs. Eve Vunk was prepared and equipped with full of formative ideas. We couldn't manage the whole program because of the bad weather condition during the week but it was a victorious meeting since we filled in the common areas of the application form with very quality content. 

We are six different schools from Turkey, England, Estonia, Romania, Poland and Italy. Our project is about "Internet". We will mainly focus on improving internet skills by concentrating on responsibility, selectivity and security. The project activities will be created accordingly.

In brief, the project activities will supply pupils with plenty of opportunities to share their interests and individual works in digital media and to comment on, to communicate, to have fun and to gain information positively in a secure international network.

Preparatory Visit - Windsor, ENGLAND

We had a 5-day trip to Montem Primary School in Windsor, England. We went there two people with Mr. Osman Nuri batmaz, Head of the School. We stayed in Travelodge Hotel. The hotel was just average. The breakfast was awful and the rooms were just simple designed. We paid 49 pounds a night which is too much for a hotel like this. On the other hand, our partner teachers were so kind and helpful. We experienced some traditional English food and drinks. The meeting was very fruitful. There were two more teachers from different schools. One was from England and another one was from Germany. We have designed the application form for our Comenius Project which is about caring our environment in different ways. The project title is "Together for Europe- Saving the Environment" aiming to teach pupils about their own and each other's natural environments and how they have the tools to save and protect them. We are seven partners from six different countries. Two schools are from England and others are Turkey, Poland, Greece, Czech Republic and Germany. We have made the scheduled meetings in Bungalow which is designed as a house with a kithcen and bathroom in the school. We enjoyed the school environment. It was cold and the hotel was expensive but we liked it very much. We visited London last day. 

Actually, whenever I go abroad, I find myself in a full of adventure.
