cikgu garang!

Sapa penah kena ketil dgn cikgu dia, sila ngkat tangan!!!!

Aku pun pernah. honestly my Abah garang orangnya. Tambah2 lagi aku ni not exactly an angel while growing up back then so selalu la kena sedas dua dengan rotan. Oh, belt pun pernah..hehehehe. Kena ketil dgn cikgu? There was once in f4 the whole class got pinched by the teacher because our homework was done not up to her standards. That day i was feeling a little bit under the weather so i was wearing a jacket. She thought i was trying to cheat my way out of the punishment so i got more than my friends. As a result i had a 'five-petalled flower' patch of black and blue bruises under my breast area. True story.

Some of my other friends were not so fortunate they had to duck-walk up and down our school building. talk about abuse...huh. well, tu cerita lama. tak perlu diingat..ekekekeke..

My point is...being a teacher is soooooooooooooo stressful. You the term 'lilin membakar diri', 'tak kenal penat lelah'..those are true but actually over rated. I really hate it when my teacher friends keep posting about the 'good deeds' on FB (especially around May because of Teacher's Day). Not that i hate my job but truly people , parents and fellow govt servants don't give a damn about us. To them we are their free babysitters, money grabbing and pengelat sbb kerja separuh hari. So why rub the whole damn thing onto their faces even more, right? What matters to me is i do my job, and if i don't get any credits for that so be it. It's not the end of the world.

which goes to the exact point of this entry.

Last two days my children (kelas yg aku pegang la) were punished by their ustaz bahasa Arab using rotan. no big deal. the bigger deal was, they were spanked for about 20 - 36 rotan spanks per person. KAU GILA KE?????????? One of the boys' parents came complaining to us that their child cant sit or lie on his back because of the blue black bruises. like this bruises:

on both butt cheeks! this is the nearest resemblance to that poor boy's butt injury. so the parents had no choice than to make a medical and police reports.

*sigh* Aku pun garang jugak. Ramai lagi cikgu garang kat dunia ni. Guna jugak rotan tu sekali sekala...terpaksa. Tapi jgn la smpi biru anak og tu dikerjakan. Bila dah jadi mcm ni, rakan2 sekerja lain tak dapat dah nak tolong. Kalau sorg maybe la budak tu tipu tapi ni satu kelas. Macamana tu?

Aku rasa daripada kursuskan cikgu2 ni dengan benda yg bukan2 baik la hantar pegi kursus 'anger management'. Serius...stress beb. Kalau korang as parents pun takl sanggup melayan sorg anak terejal kat rumah 24hrs, imagine ada 5,6 org mcm tu dalam satu kelas. Tak gila kau? Belum lagi terberak, terkencing, termuntah dalam kelas. Belum lagi demam. Belum lagi bergaduh. Belum lagi kes tak buat homework. Mana la tak naik angin.

so, apa aku buat kalau aku naik angin??Aafter 4 tahun mengajar, i learn that i am scary when i got angry. I might as well turn green ripping all my clothes a la The Incredible Hulk. So the first thing i do is...i sit. Far from the children. Where my quick hands can't reach any of their body parts. And then i open my mouth and start my lecture like for ever. That is better than abusing the kids.  I think. on some very bad day, i just leave the class for a few minutes.

Speaking of terejal...you may think how terejal my class kids are. Well, one of them was locked up at the police station for shoplifting..he is 9 by the way.Tthe other one was supposedly in Special Edu class but his parents are so in denial we have to bear with the kid's unruly behaviour. Oh, he is the one that can talk about sex as candidly as talking about cats. Who else..erm, this one girl is the ultimate kaki ponteng...by end of last month she has only attend 100 days of school instead of 174. yg lain2 tu...biasa je..gaduh2, jerit2, nangis2, curi2, gunting2 baju...'tu aje'...hehehehehe.

baru lepas nagis2 sebab cikgu maths bersara.

I love my kids.
