  • In this episode of Hired or Fired, we challenged Xenia to take on a huge responsibility - being a preschool teacher for a day! From teaching to naptime to feeding them, will she buckle under the pressure?

    Coming from a preschool educator myself, this job is never easy because you do not only deal with children but, with parents also which I believe is the most stressful part. Doing the routine and the lessons each day is tiring cause the children acts up different days..but the children bless your soul and heart with their words or sweet actions and thats what i love most

    I'm a daycare teacher in Malaysia and I completely agree when she says " it's really not easy but it's very rewarding". Many times I'm exhausted but just one little high five, hug or even a thank you from my students and I'm sold. Definitely one of the best feelings ever. It's like my tiredness slowly fades away. It also feels so rewarding to witness the children's growth and achievements. Really happy to see Xenia try this job for a day and glad to see her starting to like kids 😊

    And they really won't give u food. You have to sit and watch others eat. That's the truth.

    Haha if I’m not wrong Xenia actually wanted to be a History teacher. I can see why now she’s actually rlly good with kids and teaching!! I personally feel that playing and liking kids is one thing but to teach them is really another level. I personally think playing with kids is exhausting but teaching them is really really rewarding when you see them rlly genuinely interested and curious to learn! Not just academics but the things around them! Like animals, the sky, the ocean, colours, music! it rlly puts you in a different perspective especially when you are an adult now and you just chiong thru a very academic-based grade-focused education system sometimes we forget the genuine passion to learn and not just cramming for exams. I study marine science and I love to educate and share with kiddos about animals, nature and the environment! they actually learn very quickly when they are interested in the subject

    imagine being brought up almost your half a study life 0-6yo with activities and picture memories, then you get into primary school where they still teach you based on pictures but with lesser and lesser activities (also when you pick up sports). Then you go into secondary school where it's just books, and the only fun thing you get to do is during PE. Then it all comes to an end when you are in preU or college or Uni.... unless you go for 70%coursework 30%exam kinda route where you are more exposed to activities and handson stuff, if not it can be quite life draining in the 100% exam based courses. Then you finish and start work in... ??office where you see PC/ paper/ boss/ work OR you become a PRE-SCHOOL TEACHER!!!! YAY
