Gonna be honest I find it kind of funny how whenever I say that I hallucinate (cause of VSS) everyone is just like "wait so you see like people who aren't there" or "so you're schizophrenic?" and I'm just like, nah bro I just see some fricking light static over my vision like a TikTok filter

like I made this gif for this whole purpose:

and then the og image:

(ps: the gif isn't 100% like what we see its just close enough and not only that but its a little different for every person like my friend only sees static on dark areas while I see it on every area)

Even experienced teachers tend to make mistakes, so trainee teachers mustn't feel ashamed when something doesn't go as planned. However, the following problems often occur: (1) too long and complicated instructions (2) talking, while writing on the board (3) finishing the lesson late. The solution is obvious. Do the exact opposite! Keep your instructions short, especially if you teach beginners. Stop talking while turning towards the board because your students won't hear everything well. Finish the lesson in time - let your students reflect on what they've learnt or just play a game, and never reduce their break that they deserve.
