SUNGJIN

Honestly...seeing leader as a teacher for a particular age group is hard Because I feel like he'll be good with all ages I can see him being the father-like teacher that admonishes the young ones cutely But at the same time I can also see him being stern with the older ones So.............................................. Just for leader............................ I'm not going to specify which age group he's teaching HAHA Sungjin as a teacher would just generally be the "father" teacher He’ll scold the kids when he has to Even though he really does not like doing so Might accidentally make the young ones cry with his stern look but when that happens he immediately softens and pats their hair / offers them a warm hug to soothe them The little ones will always rummage around his bag for snacks just because his bag is practically BURSTING with them But removes them from his bag fairly quickly – Sungjin as a teacher is still fiercely protective of his food HAHA (imagine a mother bear picking up her cub by it’s nape – that’s what it looks like when Sungjin removes the kids from his bag) But ok jokes aside Sungjin as a teacher is really caring He might express his emotions very well But he does care very deeply for his kids Sends them away on their last day of kindergarten with a smile on his face But sobs buckets later at home when he reads the cards they give him with their cute handwriting and drawings Sobs more when he sees them draw him as a bear Because he cannot decide if it’s cute or tragic that they see him as a bear after all the years of teaching them Sungjin with the older ones which generally be more stern Less smiles Because he’s got an image to keep The most the kids will see from him is his odd facial expressions when his slides / mic messes up when he lectures Most are too intimidated to approach him But for the brave few that do They are pleasantly surprised Because it turns out That prof Sungjin is actually a pretty approachable guy with a wealth of knowledge to share with his students And eventually this evolves into that sort of relationship where the kids begin to see him as a friend outside of lessons Which leads to the most ridiculous encounters EVER For example ‘hey prof’ ‘I can’t believe you called me to fix your heater’ ‘it’s winter! And the student services centre wasn’t responding’ ‘the things I do for you guys’ ‘thanks prof!’ Grumbles about coming out on a winter day during term break But still fixes the heating for his kids nonetheless But don’t worry They repay his efforts by treating him to food when school starts again ;) Overall Sungjin as a teacher is generally one that does not show affection openly for his kids much But deep down They all know that he truly cares for them Both academically and non-academically

JAE

Tertiary educator Jae would be that really chill prof that the kids love alot He’s not going to bother them too much even if they enter lectures a little late – he understands the tertiary education is tough and well, waking up late once in a while is not a sin Probably not the type to bother them too much even if they doze off in his lectures – as long as they catch up on their own He accepts it if they have a tardy appearance or are disorganised – he was like that as a student as well But he will not accept tardiness in the work Will get an earful from him if they slack off / hand in work late without a valid reason If a student is constantly missing school He’s going to check up on them constantly And follow up with them regularly to make sure they get the help they need and are coping well from there on Even though he’s a strict teacher He always reminds his students that their mental health is more important than their studies Which is why his students feel comfortable going to him for advice when they’re troubled with anything And when I say anything I really mean anything From anxieties about their studies To relationship problems Jae listens to them all And adjusts his response accordingly If he has to be firm to snap his students out of  their own self-deprecating mindset He will But for those that can’t handle his toughness He will opt for being gentler with them But no matter what He will stick with his kids till the end and see them become a better version of themselves Jae takes mental health very very very seriously And his students appreciate him very much for that Because he feels like one of the very few teachers that care about them For who they are Beyond their grades But serious stuff aside Jae is a fun teacher Always bringing props to class to demonstrate a concept Working in videos into his lectures to make sure the lecture is less boring Probably the type of prof to bring in a soft toy and tosses the soft toy to a student when he wants them to answer a question Tries to work in field trips when he can But he’s not just all fun and games He’s definitely very willing to stay back after
