to all teachers out there
Hi teaching folks,
at your school, did you ever get spied upon by your Cambodian manager? As in him or her entering your classroom and just staring at you or the more discreet window staring version (with the Cambodian manager ducking down when being seen)? At the school that I taught at a long time ago, this was pretty common for newly hired teachers. It also happened to teachers who had successfully negotiated a pay raise (even though they were not new). Is that a common thing?

I am not a teacher bu most of my teacher friends are in bigger schools and they have security cams in the classroom so there si no need for managers to poke around

Re: to all teachers out there
and why does it happen to old teachers after they got a pay raise? That's just plain weird.

Re: to all teachers out there
It's just peer appraisal, as long as you are performing your duties it shouldn't be an issue. It could lead to constructive criticism as to how you can perhaps improve, but it could also just be an avenue for some useless twat to micromanage and nitpick.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I do find the hiding under the window part unnerving. In my home country, managers do not hide themselves when evaluating someone. Creeps me out.

Re: to all teachers out there
The hiding part you mentioned would make me feel extremely awkward. Although, I could understand they want to see how you teach without the presence of your boss. At my school, we have formal and informal (unannounced) observations. Both include my manager sitting in for the whole class session in the back. This leads to an abnormal class instead of platonic because all of the students are very quiet and rarely participate because of the stranger.

Re: to all teachers out there
I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but maybe the idea of being evaluated might make a teacher teach.
The last session was a review for the upcoming exam. Even the students selected to review past lessons got them wrong, and the class is still dazed and confused. Teacher didn’t waste any breath to make sure the class got it right and instead rushed into playing charades. The word? Bek sloy dancing.
