0 Kepada Penghina-Penghina Cikgu. With Lurve.

Suatu petang selepas balik dari sekolah, bersembang-sembang dengan housemate entah out of the blue macam mana housemate tu bertanya kalau saya suda baca blog Kisah Liyana ,menghina cikgu.

Belum baca blog nya, klik sini. Sebenarnya ada beberapa lagi. Ada yang just post kat Facebook. Sudah bosan dengan status update, apa nak dimakan hari ini..apa nak dibuat besok, sakit hati dengan si anu, sekarang hina cikgu. Kalau anda baca the entire post dan komen-komen di bawahnya adalah komen-komen yang agak lucu dan mengarut. Paling tidak tahan ialah, "orang lain kene la keje..kang cikgu takde gaji...agensi lain kan yang berhempas pulas mengerah tenaga nak bayar gaji cikgu yang mahal tu...." Bodohnya statement ini.

 

Saya pun apa lagi, terus la scroll-scroll ,tap-tap tablet tu googling for Kisah Liyana. Hmm, malangnya blog nya telah diremoved. Tetapi, ada juga bloggers yang sempat share link tu kat blog mereka so saya pun berkesempatan lah untuk membaca entrinya yang bukan sahaja menimbulkan kontroversi tetapi pastinya cikgu-cikgu yang pernah mendidiknya tu akan kecewa , hati jantung jatuh!

Apasal hina cikgu? Berdasarkan kepada pembacaan saya lah...kebanyakan penghina-penghina cikgu-cegi ini tidak puas hati dengan gaji cikgu yang mencapai 2k tidak setimpal dengan beban kerjanya. Begini lah jadinya bila syok-syok tulis blognya , ikut perasaan jer. Tidak terfikir di akal fikiran yang dunia sekarang ni sesiapa sahaja boleh akses nukilan-nukilan anda dan share. Maka ini lah yang terjadi. 

Cikgu memanglah jadual kerjanya setengah hari sahaja. Tapi sedarkah, ingatkah anda masa sekolah dulu siapa yang sediakan lembaran kerja latihan, ujian? Bahan-bahan alat bantu mengajar? Results peperiksaan anda? Atau seriously adakah anda berfikir bahawa semua itu jatuh dari langit dipungut oleh cikgu dan dibawa ke bilik darjah untuk disampaikan agar murid-murid ini suatu hari nanti akan menjadi insan yang berjaya? 

Segala yang disampaikan oleh guru itu dirancang terlebih dahulu agar sesuai dengan aras kecerdikan murid. Semua nya perlu disediakan oleh cikgu. Cikgu menyediakan itu ini dengan menggunakan duit gaji mereka demi pelajar. Berkorban masa dengan anak-anak untuk murid-murid. 

 Fikirlah, kalau cikgu berada disekolah dari jam 7 pagi sehingga jam 1 petang, that makes 6 jam sehari, Sehari ada lebih kurang 3- 4 jam kelas. Di mana masa untuk persediaan mengajar? Di mana masa untuk menjalankan tanggungjawab lain sebagai guru? Kebanyakan cikgu mengangkut kerja balik ke rumah. Supaya di rumah boleh menjaga makan minum anak dan suami sambil boleh juga menjalankan tugas cikgu.  Cikgu bukan mengajar semata-mata , cikgu menjadi pemandu, kerani, jurulatih sukan, dan bermacam-macam lagi. Tugas mengajar pula doesn't end with students out loud, "Terima kasih , cikgu!" dan cikgu berlalu keluar dari kelas. Di pejabat, cikgu kena menanda buku, menanda kertas ujian, key in markah, analisis markah...belum lagi tugasan lain sebagai guru kelas, guru kesihatan, guru bertugas mingguan dan banyak lagi.

Sooo...jangan pernah fikir tugas cikgu itu tidak setimpal dengan gajinya. Semua pekerjaan itu ada bebanan dan tanggungjawabnya. Kalau tiada, adakah kita boleh hidup sejahtera begini? Semua pekerjaan ini saling melengkapi antara satu sama lain. Tiada cikgu, tiada lah doktor, engineer, nurse, bisnesman..Tiada bisnesman, cikgu tiada makan, tiada doktor, cikgu sakit murid sakit , parah tu, Tiada engineer, cikgu tiada tempat untuk mengajar , melahirkan lebih banyak engineer. Kan, kan?Ada kanak-kanak di negara-negara yang susah yang tidak mendapat langsung peluang untuk belajar. Anda sepatutnya bersyukur kerana cikgu anda lah yang menjadikan anda engineer, anda seorang yang berjaya atau telah mendapat ijazah. At least, anda tekan-tekan keyboard menulis tu pun , belajar mengeja mengira semuanya dari cikgu kan.

So, berubah lah. Kalau pun , anda tidak berpuas hati.. Jangan lah menghina. Tidak perlulah tulis out loud di facebook or blog. Kesian cikgu-cikgu yang pernah mengajar penghina-penghina ini jika mereka terbaca tulisan-tulisan anda yang tidak mengenang budi tu. Apa lagi penghina-penghina ini kebanyakannya gologan terpelajar. Mungkin lupa siapa yang telah membantu mereka berjaya.  Walaupun mungkin anda bebas sebenarnya untuk menulis apa sahaja tetapi kebebasan itu haruslah dipergunakan dengan berhati-hati. Tengok lah sekarang, bebas punya bebas tidak sayang mulut .

Kalaupun, anda pernah mempunyai pengalaman mendapat cikgu yang kurang memberi kasih sayang perhatian terhadap anda semasa zaman persekolahan, tidak semua cikgu seperti itu. Ingat, TIDAK SEMUA.Cikgu juga adalah insan biasa. Tidak terlepas dari membuat kesilapan. Juga ada keinginan untuk bersosial, tidak salah untuk berbisnes online asalkan tanggungjawab sebagai cikgu itu dilaksanakan dengan baik.

Akhir sekali, penghina-penghina cikgu ini, sebelum menulis sesuatu yang tidak baik tentang cikgu, fikir dahulu siapa yang ajar anda supaya boleh mengeja dan mengira. Anda tidak keluar dari rahim ibu dengan sedia boleh mengeja, membaca dan mengira. Siapa bagi anda markah peperiksaan yang baik supaya anda mendapat tempat di universiti dan akhirnya berada di tempat sekarang? Fikir-fikirkan lah....

p/s: Kalau jealous sangat tidak tertahan dengan cikgu, jom lah jadi cikgu dan rasalah beban kerja cikgu. Mungkin anda ni pernah apply jadi cikgu tapi ditolak kot. Pas tu, angin tengok cikgu naik gaji. Tidak apa, ada banyak option, try again? cancel? remind me later?

Ikhlas dari cikgu.:p

0 Thank you, Teacher!

For almost 3 years after i had graduated...third year of service as teacher in two different schools, only this year i manage to reflect this appreciation and celebration to teachers around the Malaysia all the deeds, cares, sacrifices and the patience of all my teachers from kindergarten until university. Since my first year of service had me going really busy and thank God i can really breath this morning to reflect on today'S celebrations.This reflections had really struck me since last Monday when my car was stopped by the police block around my residence in Kota Belud. The police said,

"Good morning, teacher. I can tell you are a teacher by looking at how you dress yourself, and you have name tag on you! You know what, despite i have such high respect to teachers, i still need to see your driving license. But, i really do respect teachers. If it's because of teachers, i don' t think i'll be wearing this uniform right now. Only God knows what kind of person i turned to be if it's not because of teachers......"


 I don't really count how many times he emphasizes on teacher's reasons, but i really feel significant by his words!! I had never been his teachers obviously, nor any of my relatives ever be(as far as i concern) but i know what i 'm working as makes different in many lives! My students may hate me, curse me, laugh at me now but someday in their lives will realize the wisdom behind my acts and words in classes. So, to my friends who works their asses hard and back home with teary eyes, keep going, you are SIGNIFICANT! My teachers and lecturers too are significant and without them, i'll know nothing what to say to my students! Maybe sharing some crappy movies and streaming Gossip Girl series in the Audio Visual Hall. But, i do not. I try my best to be as good as they were those days and maybe better. My teachers are my inspirations as a teacher.


 So i dedicate this special thanks to my kindergaten teacher, cikgu Saidah who had took really good cares of me and help me overcome my stranger axiety. Taught me to master mathematics and reading. To my primary school teachers of Sk Pekan 1Ranau. They are so many inspring teachers there. . I really remember cikgu Jainuddin, cikgu Tassip,cikgu Norhayati, and cikgu Jenifer. They were my Bahasa, dances, maths and English teachers back in primary. I was quite naughty, rebellious in my teenhood despite i was the top academic performer in my secondary school. so, i really have high special respects to teachers who always believe in me, cikgu Zafli, cikgu Litin, cikgu Juilis, cikgu Maizatul, cikgu Rubiah, cikgu Maniseh and cikgu Raimah. Thank you for you cares and patience towards me. I am no easy handled students i were but i made this far because of them. My lecturers of UMS from Schools of Education and Developments, Schools of Science and Technology, my Francais proffeseur, i give thanks to them for sharings on their treasures and wisdoms that i needed.


I owe a lot to my teachers. I should be as good as they are as a teacher. As a students, i should make them ever proud of me. Thank you, teachers.

0 How to Load M16 For Dummies

It was my first camping with  tentatives filled with how to load and unload an M16. Those who confused with what I'm talking about, well I am talking about the rifle that shoot dead people in war. Oops. Yes, imma a teacher. Correct. A teacher who takes Police Cadet as my uniform squads in co-curriculum activities in school. During recent camping in Misompuru, Kudat, we ended the camping by going to the shoot range in Kem Paradise, Kota Belud for shoot training. The students were taught how to load and unload the M16 and how to shoot during the camping while we were still in Kudat. They were only get to load the bullets and really shoots at the shoot range. While the teachers also taught by experienced teachers on this as not only the students who would get the chance to shoot, the teachers too~! yeay, I don't know how to react to this idea actually until i reached at the shoot range on the last day of  the camping (on the last day, we were moved to the range by police trucks). The pictures below taken in Kudat during the camping.

This girl is putting the rifle to SAFE mode.

Fire in the hole! These students are all ready to fire. No, it's unloaded. The magazine is empty, will explain later what 's magazine is. Of course I don't mean the CLEO magazine, or OK magazine. Stay tune.

If there was a thing that I regretted in this camping was not bringing with my camera charger. I didn't expect that we would be having sockets to plug handphone or camera charger during camping. Umph, well, therefore I did not take pictures during the training at the range since my tablet, camera and handphone were all flat on the last day. I would be proud to post my pictures shooting at the air. At least I am holding the rifle and shooting! Not just reading. Forgive me, readers. As this was my first shoot training, I am proud that I could shoot one shot to the bull. Even I was shaking in hungry, cold of the rain and nervous at the  new experience, deaf at the sound of firing bullets. There's always first time for everything. 

Okay, okay...I'm not gonna held you any longer to read my ramblings. Gonna share with you on how to load the M16. The very basics to handle a  firearm. Read on.

1. First thing first, if you handling a weapon, whether it's loaded or not, point it in a safe direction.
2. Cock the weapon. Pull the charging handle all the way back and hold it. with the charging handle back, turn the weapon on its side and look into the firing chamber to make sure that there us no bullets caught in the chamber. If they are, they can cause an explosion when the fresh bullets put in.
3. Ride the bolt forward. Slowly, keeping pressure on the charging spring, return the bolt to the forward position. Letting the bolt slam forward. This produce the cool sound which we often hear from movies
4. Move the selector lever to "SAFE".
5. Insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well. It is below the trigger.Push the magazine up from the bottom until the catch engages. Give the bottom of the magazine a slap to ensure that it stays. You may pull down on the magazine once it is on place to check if it will slip out.
6. Now, move the selector to "SEMI" to fire one at a time or "AUTO" if you wish to fire all bullets all at once.
7. Aim at whatever you are firing on. If you are right-handed, you might close the left eye and right eye opened. So does if it is other way around.

0 From SPM on

I was a student of SPM too once. before i graduated secondary school, i make sure here where  should i go after the big important exams. i called SPM as exams of my life that will determine of what i will be as an adults , which i choose a matriculation college that gives me a foot away to university. i have no plan B so i will never consider taking STPM. it's okay actually to sign in for form  six but i just wanna graduate earlier and be someone  who can help my family with whatever i earn after i get a job which i hadnt think about yet before i went for matriculation college.

Enough about myself, a student should be able to draw out where he will go from SPM on. either on matriculations, A level, form six , polytechnic colleges and other community college. depends on what you wanna be after campus life over. an excellent achiever now automatically will be sponsored by the government to pursue their educations to higher level. aren't they just lucky? there's no more terms like 'aww, she has a very excellent results in SPM but her parents just cant afford her pursuing her educations. therefore, the youngsters now should be grateful, and more appreciative with government insentives to sponsor these excellences so that they will get the best educations and finally can contribute to their family, community, and country. we need more quality graduates and these students who graduated from overseas best universities should return to our very homeland to contribute to the locals.

 keep in mind that without a education, you go nowhere. I am saying this because i
see those of schoolmates who keeps on skipping classes, stubborn to the school rules,
answer back to teachers, always end up with worse lives. They are most likely involved
in criminals, unwanted pregnancies, family break downs, poverty, over debtness, the list
going on and on. Parents and students should take advantages of what the government
has to offer, facilities and financial aids by achieved better in examinations. Not that i
insists of the paper-based assessment but for the decade we are living on now, a paper
worth a lots and able to take us even in the deepest seas.

For that, a student should step out outside their comfort zones to work harder, study
harder and never give up. Tons of homework are meant to be completed and should be
assumed as a reinforcement after a lesson in classroom. Not as a burden.

I would like to write longer about tips on overcoming dark moods to complete
homework given by teachers, or heavy eyes when doing revisions but that has to be
written other times. Because my eyes are feeling heavier by each letter i type on. Good
nights,and happy drawing  where's you destination will be SPM on? Will you be
the lucky engineering students to pursue your educations to Korea, German, France? wow, i'll be excited and will open my text book right away as to fight for my rights to get this amazing opportunity!! the sponsors might be for SPM leavers 2011, but who knows, the offers will get better by year.
