Top 5 Most Common Line of Students inside the classroom

This blog is part of my "byahe" as a teacher and also a learner, all of the statements here are came from my own opinion base on my personal experience.

Students of today are acquiring a lot of information because of their exposure in different ideas and philosophies they are watching on the television and social media like facebook, twitter, instagram and the likes. This somehow affects the way they think, they act and the way they communicate with their peers and even with their teachers.

I am a private elementary school teacher and it's been a four amazing years since I started to observe those lines that my students always use inside the classroom.In this blog I'm going to share those words  and hopefully you may enjoy reading it. 

#5 "Di ko gets!( I don't understand)"

Are you familiar with this phrase? Have you ever used it either especially on your math and science class? If yes, then there is nothing wrong with you and I like to congratulate you because it simply means that you belong to this generation.This is one of the most commonly used lines that my students are using and as teacher it makes me feel discourage sometimes but because I love my students and teaching is my passion it cannot stop me to facilitate teaching learning process. So what I do is just talk to myself and say "buti pa yung chicken may nuggets, sila wala".

#4. "Teacher, five minutes review please"

This line is very popular before quizzes or recitations as an assessment of learning. Sometime I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk to my students, "are you guys really listening to me while I'm discussing our lessons?". The good thing about this line is that it ,means they have the desire learn and pass the assessment.

#3 "Teacher may I go to the comfort room?"

Comfort room is like a safe refuge for the students, a mighty fortress and a peaceful kingdom. This is where they go if something terrible is going to happen like when the teacher is angry and they feel that they are going to be scolded. This is the place they go when they are bored about the discussion. The best line for those who wanted to roam around to kill time. When my student asked me this magical question,"May I go to the comfort room?" I always tell them to enjoy and comeback to the class. 

#2 "Sir open notes?"

This question was so cool, the courage and the boldness of any student who asked their teacher if they can open their notes while taking an assessment is pretty impressive, its like they are asking your permission if they can cheat on their exams. Well,  one time I made a deal with them, "open notes but close your eyes".

#1 "Bonus! Bonus! Bonus!"

https://today.duke.edu/2010/04/celebrate.html

The all time favorite line of student from the past up to the present and the future! It brings smile on their faces despite of the hardships they experienced on exams, it brings hope for those who are hopeless, it brings peace for those who are worrying to get a zero score and it calms an unease heart. Everyone loves bonus, even me as a teacher. I really love bonus, but it should be put on a right place and at the right time. 

Hopefully you enjoyed reading this blog, and I know you can relate from this topic because  you were once a student like me! Let us always remember that when we are communicating with anyone we should always consider their situations in choosing the words that we are going to use.
