Teachers on practice who chose Education Science (Physics & Mathematics… this one is for you

The principal has already told students: “Go consult the new teachers from the university.”
Now here you are… fresh from campus.

But let’s be honest.

In university, you were deep in Real Analysis, Group Theory, abstract proofs… things that felt powerful at the time.
Now a Form 2 student walks in with a simple question:

“Teacher, how do you calculate current in a parallel circuit?”

And suddenly… your mind goes blank.

You’re trying to remember:

-Ohm’s Law

-Series vs Parallel rules

-Total resistance formulas

Meanwhile the student is just standing there, waiting.

The struggle is real:

-Relearning high school content

-Translating complex knowledge into simple explanations

-Gaining confidence in front of students

But slowly, it comes back.
One lesson at a time. One correction at a time.

If you’ve been there, you know the feeling.

So… be honest:
Did you also have that moment where a “simple” question humbled you?
