Afterwards, he went to sit at the back to observe how Ren and the students interacted.
The process of Ren’s teaching was certainly smooth, as the students were participative and they all behaved well.
Afterwards, he continued his class observations and saw that all the students really listened to Ren very well, not just the first class.
He didn’t know what Ren did to make all his students listen to him, but his classroom management skills were certainly strong.
If it was only the first class, then he might have thought that all the students in that class were really those obedient students.
But after four classes and all those kids listened to him, he could only say that Ren really managed his classes well, as even the last class, which was a laboratory class, was still done in an orderly manner.
After those classes, Ren didn’t have any more classes and was only busy checking the activities of the students.
As for Eli, he was only waiting for all the others so that they could go back.
While waiting, he was also answering a few of his homework assignments that they needed to submit online, as they didn’t have any classes for the afternoon, which they were supposed to have, just so they could stay for the whole day at the school they were assigned to.
As soon as all of them had gathered inside his car again, all of them began speaking about the things that they had observed about their CTs, as well as the students that they had met.
They were sharing how lively some of the classes were, as there were always students who didn’t listen and were doing something else.
Of course, they were also talking about what the teachers did to manage those students who didn’t want to cooperate at all.
They were all talking about it, so they also realized that their cooperating teachers had different ways to manage their students, though some were also doing the same things. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
“What about you, Eli? How’s your CT and his classes?” Sean asked, as Eli had remained silent and was just listening to the others.
“What else could I say when all the students in all the classes that I had observed behaved very well when my CT was teaching?”
“Really? What are the names of the classes that you’ve been to?”
Eli named the grades and classes that he had observed.
Some in the car had also already observed one or two of those classes, and according to them, the students in those classes aren’t that well-behaved at all.
“Are you sure those were the classes that you observed? One of the classes you mentioned even had a lot of people who wouldn’t listen and were just doing other things,” Glen even asked again.
“Yep, those were really the classes that I observed. All the students were well-behaved and were listening well; even if they weren’t really listening, at least all of them were pretending to listen properly.”
“Wow, your CT has such strong class management, even though he looked the youngest of all the CTs we met today. What do you think his age is? He doesn’t look much older than us, of course, aside from you who just became an adult last year,” Sean said.
“Yep, he’s definitely the youngest there, as he’s only 22,” Eli answered without bothering about Sean’s comment about his age, as he was already used to being teased about it since he was almost always the youngest wherever he went.
“Woah, so he’s really the same age as us, and he’s already very capable, as he was actually included as one of the cooperating teachers even though he’s still very young,” Sean and the others said, praising Ren highly.
If they knew the extent of Ren’s ability, they’d probably praise him even more.
Eli had already heard a lot of things from his family about all the achievements of Ren.
And of course he remembered some that his mother had repeatedly praised, like how Ren graduated early from university at the age of 17 and got his master’s degree when he was 19.
Then, Eli didn’t know what happened, but after finishing his master’s, Ren started teaching instead of doing research or other things related to his field of study.
But just like the others said, he was indeed very excellent; that’s why he had been included as one of their CTs. This story is hosted at g.com.
Of course, even if he was, Eli didn’t really care, as he cared more about Ren switching his name to be assigned to him.
He was still thinking of getting back at Ren about it, but he hadn’t thought of anything yet.
However, if there was a chance later, he would certainly get back at him.
Afterwards, they continued going to their assigned school every day for half a day, then back to their university for the rest, unlike their first day where they used a whole day for their observation.
And just like what Ren said, Eli was really assigned as his assistant on the second day.
Fortunately, he wasn’t seeing Ren for the rest of the day, because if he were, he would certainly fight him more, as Ren would probably assign more work to him.
He also didn’t try to finish everything that Ren assigned early, even if he could, but did it just on time so that Ren wouldn’t try to add more.
Of course, Ren was also trying to assign more to him because he knew that Eli could do it.
But once he did, Eli wasn’t willing to do more and would dawdle until Ren couldn’t take it anymore and would start doing it himself.
Eli also knew Ren very well, and dawdling in front of him would always work, as Ren would always do it himself after some time.
It was also always his technique before, when he was trying to let Ren do his homework and other projects; Ren would do it for him if he kept dawdling when Ren just wanted to teach him, as Ren always wanted to do things more efficiently if he could.
