discussion 1 of the book MATILDA

Matilda: discussion 1
Matilda is a story book for young ones written by Roald Dahl, it is all about a little girl called Matilda who stays with her brother as well as self-absorbed parents who see Matilda as nothing more than a snotty nuisance and troublesome. The book also consists of Ms Trunchbull hates every young girl including Matilda.

Ms Trunchbull's character potrays her as  the main antagonist of the novel. she is a fat-sized character who wears her hair in a bun at the upper rear end and her outfit is a bottle-green tight pants and a black belt with a silver buckle.She is a harsh, arrogant, psychopathic and cruel educator and who terrorizes children, and most of all dislikes children and states that she was glad that she was never a child or had fun. She makes a weekly visit to every classroom and tends to take over but mostly she likes visiting Miss Honey's classroom. She is also strict on rules where she did not allow girls to have pigtails. she is just a bad person to be with.

As a university student, who is doing teaching I have learned to be a complete and a respectable educator I must be caring, responsible, critically reflective and accountable in a way that I take good of the children that I will be teaching, avoid unnessesary aggressions, and i must make sure that I work according the scale that I am given. 
The primary focus of the classroom teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. The classroom teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills to effectively engage students and improve their learning. As the classroom teacher gains experience his or her contribution to the school program beyond the classroom increases.All classroom teachers may be required to undertake other duties in addition to their  teaching duties provided. https://www.google.co.za/webhpsourceid=chromeinstant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=caring%2C+responsible%2C
when comparing the system of teaching and learning in our context it is far different from the one of Ms Trunchbull because though she does have have all the qualities mentioned above, we see it when she punish her learners by putting them in a huge whole, and she also throw the learners on the air and out of the school gate which simple tells that she is not a caring teacher. she do not follow the exact rules of the school but she will just what she wants, like to go in each and every classroom and torture the learners even when they didn’t do anything. it is clear that our framework is much better because we do things by the book and follow the rules accordingly.
