Little Angels of My Life

Yeap! I am surrounded by little angels but sometimes they can be little devils. Whenever I have any problems , believe it or not, they help me solve them by giving straight answers that come to their minds. They are innocent, unexploited group of children that would become tomorrow's great leaders. But will they be the same when they are on their way to adulthood? In this case, who do you think play the most important role in molding these children? Parents of course. Not that I have low expectations of the teachers in schools nowadays. But compare to the days when I was in school, my teachers back then were somehow more responsible and disciplined. That's why you never hear much about students playing truant, extortion, gangsterism, etc. If only the Education Dept could check on teachers in all schools to see how they carry out their duty. Then they will understand why now practically 98% of the students attend tuition classes. Some of these school teachers also offer tuition classes to their students.

You will be surprised to know that teachers of no knowledge of English are appointed to teach Science. Wrong pronunciations and the teachings are conducted in Malay with just two or three words in English are the major complaints by the students. Thus, these students can't understand their teachings. The best part was that these teachers could not even set their own questions for the term test. So they took the questions direct from a workbook which was easily accessible from any book shop. When the students answered the subjective questions, these teachers expected them to answer " bulat bulat" (exactly) like the answers given in the book. Although the answers given by the students were of the same principle but in their own words, they were marked incorrect because these teachers couldn't read, let alone understand them. That is why many students are skipping classes. To them, it is terribly boriiiing!!! Yawn! Yawn!
