School trip

School trip should be fun. I remember when i was form 4, our class organised a trip to cameron highland. Yes, we were a bunch of 16-year-old teenage girl n we planned for a trip to 3++ km trip. Amazing. Then, we're the one who chose the right teacher to accompany us! There was no crazy rule.(no jeans,only covered shoes to name such) that's the time we could fashion around(not the nowadays young teenage fashion-legging n stuff) more to fancy tshirt, jeans n shoes.
Having talking about this, im going to accompany a school trip to kl tonight. At first, i was so looking forward to this trip. I even bought new decent clothes just for this trip. Now im not sure wether i can wear them or not as we(students n teachers) are given tshirt to be worn on that trip. Haishh. Ok, its not just about the clothes, i just dont feel like going. All the stuffs are running through my head rite. With the unfinished syllabus, the wedding thingy, the workloads....etc. I'll trt my best to make something out of this.. Just enjoy the trip as afterall it is free anyway!

Today's log.

What's in their minds?? Weird hah! Though i had been there long time ago, i still couldnt figure it out.. They were too complicated. Even complicated than a war. U will never know until u know! They wont show it. They will left you unsolved.
Case 1: Yesterday, i caught girls shouting at each other in their class.. The reason behind this quarrel was: they were playing tug n war and eventually ended up hurting each other! Oh man, 13-year old girls! And the worst part was neither of them admitted that they were fighting though obviously both of them were crying and weeping. I just handed them to the most fierce teacher in the school! Girls to man talk.

Inspiring qoute.

Ive been teaching the last or the second last classes since forever. Interms of teaching, i didnt do justice for them. I taught them just so they know the english words. Gave them less exercises, never gave them any homework( except in the first year of teaching) i did that because i know their level. At some point i just taught them little. Oh yes, i belittle them. Cos in my mind, that's the way they suppose to learn. Cause of their lower level in english.. Plus their lazy attitue, especially the boys. They hardly finished the simplest works i gave them, let alone the homework. Everytime i gave them extra exersices, the would mourn to death. And that was annoying. Cause i have to beg them to do the exercises. Sometime i even bribed them with chocolates. So, i reduce my aim in teaching; just make them finish the works no matter how. That will be a bless. And i was wrong cis :-
Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat him as he could be, and he will become what he should be.

So now, im slowly changing my mind set and my teaching methods. For a start, the extra class for pmr students. Ive been assigned to the lower proficiency studs.I'll try my best to make them pass this paper. Cos nobody believes they will. I donno how but i will try treating them as they could be. Wish me luck.

Jawapan di sekitar..

Sekarang tengah musim peperiksaan pertengahan tahun..
Meniru jangan cakapla budak2 ni. Panjang ja lehiaq budak2 ni tengok jawapan sebelah. Yang bawak buku teks jangan sebutla. Sebesaqbesaq buku pon ko nak tiru.. Teknik2 menjawab yang cikgu2 ajar ko takmau praktik, teknik meniru juga yang dok berjalan. Nak kata tak penah tiru masa sekolah dulu rasanya sekali ja kot aku tiru. Tu pon kantoi. Saja nak try test market sebab geram tengok kawan2 lain selamba tiru. Paper pjk ja pon masa tingkatan 1. Pjk ni ko xjawab pon sapa peduli. Sekali kantoi rasa macam gelap dunia. Takut kena buang sekolah. Tu ja la ingatan aku tiru time exam kt sekolah. Tobat dah pastu tak tiru. Takot.
Tadi masa ronda baca la jawapan budak2 ni. Paper agama, soalan perkara2 yang membatalkan puasa. Sorang budak ni bole jawab: kentut dalam air.
Bila aku gelak dia marah pulak. Dia cakap teacher apa tau. Ajar bi. Yang member sebelah bole tambah, kentut dlm air batal la bukan makruh. Gelak lagi aku. Siap explain lagi bila lepas kentut ada ruang utk air masuk ruang tu. Batal la puasa. Huraian tu kira hampir2 la. Tp agak2 la kentut kot!!!! Pastu cakap aku tak belajaq agama ka kentut dlm air pon xtau batal. Budak2.. Ikut hampala..

Thinga i hate doing.

If i were to list down some of the things i hate doing as a teacher, i would say:
1) making everyday lesson plan.
2) fill in students register( why can they invent a system for students attendence? Maybe using fingerprint? So teachers dont have to count every month just to find the % for everthing!)
3) oh yeah, marking books!!!!!!!!!
4) reports!
5) letters
6) speech
I guess there're more...
But i love teaching. Just teaching. And now i m enjoying directing students for drama.

The busiest week ever.

These past weeks were the busiest time ever for me.. Starting from the netball, mssd, and volleyball. Then my clerical work. Hedacount. It suppose to be finished months ago. But as ussual me, the last minute doer! N now, comes my drama competition. I knew this month ago but due to the sports and the headcount, the drama thing just fell behind the closet. Just started with the script. There are way too much to go. The costume, the final pelakon, the props. The budget! We are not representing just our school, we representing pontian! Dont get me wrong, is not that we won the district level, it just happened that our fate is picked for this competition. Here in pontian, each school will represent one competition by poll! I chose only lower form students as they are more manageable and less shy! Still young and golden. Just hope that this drama will turn out as i expected..

Myday

It's been almost 4days if u add in tomorrow i been away from school. The feelings are mixed up, relieved, miss them much, relaxed( though ive to drive 40mins everyday to the venue) n sometime i even felt guilty for leaving the classes for too long especially the good class. I know the lower class would be jumping around on my absences. For that i feel really deprived for every hour making their lives misserable. But i know deep down they miss me.
Being a teacher consumes much of my energy. U r dealing with the hardest phase of human psychology- teenagers- oh yes, on paper my working hour is from 7am-2pm. But really guys, we all have been in school no matter which stages, say if that is the real working hour for us, then who teaches extra classes? Who coaches every athlete? Who drives every contestent to the competition venue? Who is the chaperon for every school activity? Who did most of the clerical works when the clerk is an asshole? Do we get Extra wages for the ot? Btw we do get paid for the extra classes though itS no that much. The point is no point. Just need to letgo.. Extremely weary sometime but no gold could replace the satisfaction of hearing the sound "ooooooooo" or "aaaaaaaaa"" and even "ya ya ya" in my p&p process. And somehow i miss that moment though i like being rest from classes.
Talking about school, this year i've been assigned 4 classes ranging from average to super weak! I donno how to describe my feeling right now. Wether sad, vexed, annoyed or ...... There are more than 6 students in the 3rd class who still stumble in reading and im not talking about english! Dalam bahasa melayu!!!!!!!! And one of them even got an
A for pemahaman paper in upsr! N ofcos D in penulisan. When asked, they said they were given answers to memorise and some were asked to copy friends answers next to them, and teachers gave the answers outside the exam hall. Soalan bocor tak payah cakapla. Semua dapat. Aku taktaula kalau benda ni just happened here in pontian. Kenapa ada guru yg sanggup downgrade maruah sendiri demi nak jaga maruah sekolah? Aku just tak paham. I tend to be very emotional about this matter. Cos it is hard for me to teach them let alone for them to grap what i've been mumbling all year round when they r suppose to be learning according to their own level. Dah la sudah la.
And today, i heard from the form 1 student that her mom which happened to be his teacher that time gave the answers in upsr. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Pecah perut! And now they said nowadays students are brilliant! Oh yes the brilliant copycat generation.
Siakap senohong,
Gelama ikan duri,
Kalau cikgu yang ajaq berbohong,
cikgu la bapak segala pencuri!

# just let them be.

Students:(still laughing and saying lay lay lay)

Thats not the 1st time this incident happens.
Humming bird. Nama bapa saya hamin teacher.
Ya bada bedu. Nama atuk saya bedu teacher.
And the lists go on and on. Never ending story. Its like every single english word means another new target to tease.

mood+cabut

diwaktu tghari yg sgt sgt la mengantok..
di setting kelas terakhir yg acapkali kosong diusia senja..
tiba2 ad suara halus yang agak kasar kedengaran;
"alah cikgu sy xcabut balik sbb sy ada mood..klau xda mood dh lama sy cabut!!"
tehempas hancur telinga cikgu yg mendengarnya..mujur kuasa melantun yg dikutip dr bdk2 sekolah ini bijak dimanipulasikan oleh guru td..ucapan td dibiarkan melantun keluar melalui cermin nako yg rongok berselang..xterfikirkah dia yg mood cikgu td dh lama terbang sewaktu guru td membelek buku rekodnya utk melihat jadual kelas yg perlu diajar..tp dibuang jauh perasaan td dgn harapan harini lebih kurang org yg cabut lari..mmg harapannya tercapai kerana bdk yg slalu cabut lari td tiba2 muncul kerana moodnya baik..
