During the KYSD, the students had a rare opportunity to be able to experience the life of being a teacher even for once. The students really taught their classmates and really felt how it is to be a teacher even for a day. The teachers had a day off for that day because studnents were able to substitute them from teaching the students.

I was a teacher in the KYSD and I really know how hard it is to teach my classmates. Some times your classmates would even be naughtier and noisier because they think that nwe are just at the same level like were just like classmates. It is so difficult to control the whole class especially when your classmates are really noisy and they don't understand the feeling of being a teacher. Though I had a hard time during that day, I still had a lot of fun because at least now, I may be able to say to myself that being a teacher is not really that easy. It really takes a lot of patience and perseverance to be able to control your class and ti be able to teach them the lessons which you should teach them.

Teaching does not even end there. When you are a teacher, you must be able to have a connnection with your students. This is important because if you don't have a connection between you and your students, how will you be able to teach your students well, right? When you are a teacher you must also find ways so that our students will also understand the lesson you have been teaching them. If they won't understand anything from you, I think it would be better to quit the teaching profession. I think the reason why people wants to become teachers is because people also want to touch others lives through sharing what they know and what they could still share. In the future, those things will be able to help the students in a way they never thought would help them.

Being taught by the students is cool. I think it's cool because students will not be afraid anymore to ask any questions from you because they know that you are their classmate and if you ask anything from them you are sure that they will answer your questions. Next good thing about being taught by students is that nyou will have a chance to have a one-on-one lessons with the student teacher. And because of that advantage students would be able to understand the lesson more. I would suggest that at least once a month, a studennt will become a teacher so that nthe studnents nnwill also be able to interact more, In that way, the students will have more fun nbecause the students will look forward that the students will be able to teach the lessons which the teacher should discuss with the students.

For me, there is nothing wrong with the students teaching students. I guess its even more fun if this activity will not only be once a year but should be done many times so that students would be able to realize the hardships and sacrifices a teacher makes with every lesson or sharing he gives to his class.
