jauh lagi perjalanan..

Yesterday was the last day of my practicum. Syukur alhamdulillah dengan izinNya dapat habiskan 3 bulan praktikum dengan jayanya dan selamat semuanya despite the hardships and difficulties we had to endure and i learnt a lot from it. It seems like yesterday I entered my first class, greeting my pupils and introducing myself to them. oh how time flies...no more shouting at the top of my lung (at least for the time being,heh. wait until i get posted deep into the jungle!)

apapun, jauh lagi perjalanan yg perlu ditempuh. the 3-month practicum is only the beginning of my journey ahead. semoga selamat semuanya.

Inspirations for Teachers

Something worth sharing. It's so true I couldn't agree more :)

"I Didn't Know"

I didn't know that years of school and a college degree would be of little consolation when facing a room full of bright little eyes on the first day of school. I thought I was ready...

I didn't know that five minutes can seem like five hours when there's idle time and an eight hour school day far too short for a well-planned day of teaching.

I didn't know that teaching children was only a fraction of my job. No one tells you about the conferences and phone calls, faculty meetings and committees, paper work and paperwork...

I didn't know that it took so long to cut out letters, draw and color pictures, laminate all for those bulletin boards that were always "just there"...

I didn't know that I would become such a scavenger, and that teaching materials would feel like pure gold in my hands...

I didn't know that an administration and co-workers that support and help you could make such a difference...

I didn't know that there would be children that I loved and cared for and stayed up late worrying about, who, one day, would simply not show up and that I would never see them again...

I didn't know that I can't always dry little tears and mend broken hearts. I thought I could always make a difference...

I didn't know that the sound of children's laughter could drown out the sound of all the world's sadness...

I didn't know that children could feel so profoundly. A broken heart knows no age. I didn't know that a single "yes ma'am" from a disrespectful child or a note in my desk that says "you're the best!" could make me feel I'm on top of a mountain and forget the valleys I forged to get there...

I never knew that I could feel so much wiser, more tired, sadder and happier, all at once. And that I would no longer call teaching my job, but my privilege.

Teacher oh Teacher!

*This is one of the many issues that close to us and those in the education field. Just wanna share with you guys*

Unhappy over rural posting

I AM a new graduate teacher. I was recently posted to a national-type primary school in the interiors of Sarawak.

This posting came as devastating news to me. After completing a three-month stint there without any basic amenities, it snuffed out my passion to teach.

One question that rings loudly in my mind is: Why does the Ministry of Education send the entire league of Johoreans to Sabah and Sarawak, and bring teachers of other states to occupy the schools in Johor?

Until today, I still cannot think of a good reason to justify the rationale behind the Ministry of Education’s drastic move.

The school holiday is drawing to a close. Unlike other teachers who are armed with all kinds of preparations for their charges, I am not in the mood to do anything at all.

I am reluctant to go back to teach in Sarawak. I really hope to be with my sick parents so that I need not worry about them, thus enabling me to give my very best towards the development of my pupils.

DISGRUNTLED TEACHER,Batu Pahat.

----- REPLY FROM THE MINISTRY-----

THE STAR bertarikh 30 Disember 2009 – UNHAPPY OVER RURAL POSTING

Ministry of Education (MOE) would like to refer to an article by Disgruntled Teacher, Batu Pahat, published in THE STAR dated 30th December 2009 on the issue of UNHAPPY OVER RURAL POSTING.
When you signed up to become a teacher, it was to serve the needs of the children of the nation, whatever colour or creed and wherever the children needed you.

It is not a privileged for you to serve at the doorstep of a school next to your home or in your hometown. I feel saddened by your words …. “It snuffed out my passion to teach!” My simple answer to you is, “You are in the wrong profession!”

Becoming a good, committed teacher takes a lot out of the person who gives, but if it takes only 3 months for the flame to be smouldered, then you are definitely in the wrong profession. We teachers are supposed to help the children grow through a sound education; more so for these children who are in the rural and interior areas. ;They are the ones who need the kindness, patience, guidance and the lasting passion of a committed and giving teacher to help them.

With regard to your facts, they are wrong!. For your information, the biggest number of teachers serving in the interior of Sabah and Sarawak are actually from Kelantan and Terengganu. These young teachers have been serving these states for many years. Many have done so for more than three or five years.

Secondly, among the many teachers the MOE has been sending to Johore, teachers who already have families, senior teachers who have had to sacrifice leaving their spouses and children to give their services where needed, according to their option’s. Many of them are English Language teachers. If they, in their settled scenarios can deliver where needed, what excuse have you got as a young teacher not to give your services to the children who need teachers so badly? If the young teachers do not help to serve in these critical areas (together with other local seniors), do you expect the MOE to uproot the settled seniors to place them there? This is your “national service” to the children of the nation. Please remember that.

And, it is not that the MOE has not addressed this issue, by taking many more locals to serve in their home state specifically for Sabah and Sarawak. The MOE has increased intake of locals in 2009. There are two Teacher Training Institutes specifically IPGM Miri and IPGM Keningau that handle this issue. This has been done to address the critical need for the teachers in the rural and interior areas of Sabah and Sarawak.

Finally, in line the Ministry’s objective to narrow the gap between the less priviledged and the more fortunate; the rural and the urban, we in the MOE, have to do justice to the children, who so badly need our help, so, to you `cikgu’ please remember this. Yes, the children in Johor do need you, but these children in the interior need you more. However, you seriously need to change your attitude towards teaching as a profession. It is not a bed of roses. It is giving to those who need you most. Remember our tagline should be “Children first in Education” as in many other nations in this world.
