Recovered from ‘Badai’ [Bad Day]

It was something really-almost-never happened in my working life. I ‘exploded’ in classroom.. -____-
I don’t know why but my students were very moody today and they made me crazy [I almost want to hang them and make them become ‘teru-teru bozu’ outside]
Ms. Ira said ‘Maybe because of the rain’, yuph, it was raining cats and dogs yesterday, so that only half of students came, some of them came in a-very-wet condition.
I know that students especially in that age [second graders and third graders] are really self-centered. Sometimes they don’t want to play with other student who they think not in their level.
That’s why when a half of absent student who are the BFF of some who came were not in classroom, students who came didn’t want to cooperate with others. I give a real example;
I want them to play games in pairs, the boys don’t have any problems with it. However, the girls don’t want to join because one of them doesn’t want to be in the same team with Tasya [I know she is a bit rude].
So, I change the partner, but Alya doesn’t want to be with Kaila, because they don’t friends anymore [What the heck with it? Children sometimes decided to not be friends in inappropriate situation!]
So that I am a bit angry, I left the girls. While listening section, Sakha wanted me to pause after one number while the others already finished. Of course I could not just pay attention to Sakha while the others nag to me to check their works. Sakha is a ‘loud yet spoilt’ student who want every his requests fulfilled by everyone and he ‘pundung’. He didn’t want to do the exercises and he didn’t want to talk to me. Errrrrrrrrrrrghr…  
-_______-
In the middle of lesson, Nevan suddenly crying because he could not see his aunt outside [of course it was raining and his aunt probably was waiting somewhere near GIS. I have told Nevan that everything will be okay and his aunt will be back to pick him, but he was so stubborn and he continued crying and didn’t want to do the exercise until he see his aunt [what a really spoiled child, gosh!!!] and I could not just focus to him so I asked Ms. Ira to help me. After that, Figo [I think he needs to shut his mouth] said like this to me, ‘Gimana sih Miss, Nevan nangis, Sakha pundung, Cewe2 gak mau main games, bla, bla,bla’. I just send my devil glare and ‘kunyeng2’ his head ala Sinchan’s Mom.
Sometimes I hate to be so kind to my students, but I don’t want to be a teacher who is mean or strict or whatever. I just want to be someone that they can share and believed. I just want them to feel safe near me.
My Boss have told me that I’ve become the popular GEC teacher in GIS kindergarten and GIS elementary. He told me that all students love me. I was happy but sometimes it needs extra-patience to keep being a very kind teacher. Authority also becomes a problem. When you become a school teacher, you have many authorities even to give punishment to your students while if you become course teacher, you can’t do that. Sometimes I hate being a course teacher. Everything settled and no fun [in term of teaching rules] but I know that what I have to do is trying to deal with it. Allah gave this job to me because He knows that I can handle it no matter how hard it is.

I believe there is rainbow after the rain, so I hope next teaching will be a good moment. J
