VOX POP: We ask local high school teachers about the annual excitement of teaching
LINDEN – Is the first day of school just as exciting for teachers as it is for learners, every year?
DA NIELLE JORDAAN: It does not matter how long you have been a teacher, you are always a bit nervous at the start of a new school year. You get used to a certain way of teaching and you are never sure the same approach will work for every group.
As the school year begins and both teachers and learners are getting the swing of things, we wondered if teachers are just as excited about returning every year.
We spoke to teachers at Hoërskool Linden and asked them whether they still get nervous or excited about school every year like their learners do.
What do you think about starting the new year at your job? Is it exciting every time?
