My mum had some very interesting stories that is why I want to share one with you.
In South Africa my mother’s year four teacher had was called Mrs Aukamp. She was tall and scary and perched right at the end of her nose she had big round glasses. She wore a skirt and high heels. She could also be very disgusting, she used to pick her long nose and flick her snot at kids. Everyone was really petrified of her. My mother bawled her eyes out when she heard that she was in Mrs Aukamp’s class.
Inside Mrs Aukamps class there were three rows of desks. She arranged the children according to their behavior. She had the naughty and slow to learn kids in one row. The average kids in the middle row. and the brainy ones in the last row. Mum was placed in the back of the middle row. Mrs Aukamp was a very mean teacher that is is why she threw chalk or even dusters at people. If you didn't do your work at you would have to do a bit of working at playtime. The morning wouldn’t be that fun if you didn’t know them you would have to write them down ten times.
One day that my mum will never forget was when a girl called Shelly Phillips dared to talk back to Mrs Aucamp. Mrs Aukamp picked her up and put her in the rubbish bin and said “you are rubbish”. The class was very quiet for the rest of the day.
After all this my mum became a teacher.
I find my mum amazing with teaching much better than Mrs Aukamp. My mum has relieved me and my class numerous times and most of those times she took us out for a game.
I’m very happy that my teachers weren’t like Mrs Aukamp.
