Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...
I'm not a regular blogger just occasionally wanna share some thoughts and ideas to the rest of the world. Hope you like what you see and written.....:))
Today had a heated debate and row with one of my friend. Let's call him Ah Lian. Ah Lian was replacing his friend as a substitute tuition class teacher yesterday and I was told his classes has 11 student. All student are from Form 4 to 5 and the subject taught was Physics. This morning when he came in I was teasing him and ask him to give us a treat as he is now loaded cause has lots of extra income from giving tuition. Then he told us that he is giving up and that he was piss by his classes and all of them don't want to learn or was trying to be truant.
I shoot at him straight and bark him off the wall. How can he say some irresponsible stuff like that. If he want to teach then he should be prepare for the hard work as well as responsibility that come attached with it. You don't just give tuition and teach for the sake of teaching and that's it. It is more to teaching than meets the eye. It takes lots of patience, creativity, energy and knowledge to really be a good teacher. Obviously this young man Mr...Ah Lian doesn't have what it takes to be a teacher and he begs to differ. Kept telling us that he try his best but its up to the kids to want to learn or not. Its not his fault and therefore has no responsibility what so ever to educate them more than just giving homework.
I think the above conversation is a typical scenario with regard to our current Malaysian teachers state of affair is going through. I have facts and data + observation with regard to this issue. I have lost count of the actual no. of teachers spouses,relatives and friends that I directly know. Not 1 I feel are dedicated to being a life long teacher profession. All of them just want to be a teacher because its the easiest route compare to working, plenty of vacancy, relax and plenty of free time to earn extra income. Yeah you heard it right. Teacher are only working half the day and if you are the low profile or inactive one then you can actually give tuition classes in the afternoon and also thru the night. That will bloat his/her bank account $$$$$ many many times. One of my relatives who is studying in UPM in science and also teaching .....something like double degree few years ago told me she opt for this just in case she couldn't find a job. Just like doc, a teaching job is virtually guaranteed.
For those with family, teacher can baby-sit their own kids and save them the cost of sending to nursery or kindergarten. There are plenty of benefit and advantages that make teacher the best choice to be a wife. Hence, thus far I have not heard of 1 female teacher of being single and unattached. However, I don't know why guys still like teachers. I don't think they are attractive. The female teacher only know how to say "Dengar Kelas", ............."Duduk, Bangun, Berdiri......." you get the idea. As for the looks I give them 1 out of 5 cause they are just ordinary and some plain unattractive at all. Yet being a teacher still sell like hot cakes.
I still remember my worst experience of my whole life with a teacher. Her name was Mrs..Hoo who taught us biology. She was my class teacher. She was like a robot. Not dedicated to being a teacher at all. All she does is copy and paste from our text book to the board everyday on the subject being taught. Her most nasty phrase which deserve to be on the Pulitzer is "Don't ever be a teacher. Its a boring job, no future and blah blah.....etc" . F^#$%& coming out from a teacher of 10yrs or more. What would you feel if you were me ?? Worst still was I got a lousy testimonial from her compare with my other nerd friends. I went to see her after I gotten my STPM result and etc hoping she can give a reason. None what so ever. In fact another one of my class teacher Mrs...Chew (Chemistry) was kind enough to offer me some consolation but she felt the same as I do. However, she cannot reprimand/advice the other teacher which is her colleague though she know she is wrong. Politics la.......Was damn bloody piss off then. Kept swearing at her and am still doing it till today. Hope she will rot in HELL. That episode has scarred me for life. I was just the typical average Joe student and I didn't offend her nor try to show off like some of my nerd friends. I at least deserved an average mark and mentioning but if I am not mistaken she had put the remark "NOT SOCIAL ABLE" and some other negative remark which didn't make sense. I had been studying in that school for 1.5 yrs only and she didn't even know me well enough to make such rude comment. After all its was the end of schooling days and why can't she be a little nice and logic and at least give an average mark. I had never step on her shoes nor jack her up. I really hope one day I get to meet her on the street so that I could screw her up nicely. I wouldn't give her any face but my big fat ass.
Back to the main point. I guess being a teacher now compare to olden days are a rift apart. Those days in Kampung, teachers are dedicated to being noble, dedicated and not driven by monetary and materialistic mentality. Yes there have to make a living but making demand of this and that was virtually unheard of then. Now, if I'm not mistaken they want a golden handshake, long maternity leave, annual leave and etc but yet their working schedule are follow to school semester break. In fact they have more break and holiday then any other profession.
