ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN WAITING

Dearest students,

2010 is almost a month old, we are still in knowing each other in terms of methods on how to best equip yourself to face the hardest battle in your school life, they name it SPM. Old timers harshly put it as Sijil Pah Mapuh, i do agree though it seems outrageous as at times i have been asked to produce SPM before the interviewers in whatever job application process i have experienced. Every single letter indicating your achievement printed on SPM really matters. The rest is your faith as they say faith can move mountain or even send mountainous ranges to flat.

This year is my fifth year teaching under the helm of both jheat and kpm. Both are still in a fued over some matters concerning rights and scopes of power over management, teachers,staff, students and school properties. We, teachers sometimes are in the dark to whom we need to pay a heed over redundancy of rules and directives from both parties. Both claim that they have bigger share respectively without coming with a clear cut blue print which we teachers can refer to. Not knowing when this ever flowing tide will ebb as people are ever hungry for power,status and funnily jobs themselves. Only when they are about to be stripped off the so called status they become like cats on the hot bricks. What a shame! Nevertheless, it is of small importance to me as it is the tax payers who pay my salary and theirs as well. They, officers from either jheat and kpm are no better than us teachers as they are entitled to their own self made clash of conflicts and interests. So long it does not implicate us, you my dear students and teachers. Our task as teachers is to provide you the best educational experience we are capable of. We, are to help you make a change for a betterment provided you are also fully cooperative in our pursuit.

This year is a departure year for SPM candidates of 2010. Of course, you want to leave something worthy to remember and can bring back smiles to your face while reminiscing moments of truth. From the latest post by Miss Farah, i could feel how and what she felt while teaching you all even in just a very short period. It seems you have what it takes to succeed that is patience and determination. The determination portrayed on your very face was not a fake. It was real and fiery. I myself could feel it from the class of 5c where they in earnest took notes, scribbled on their log books things deemed important for them. That experience was of stark difference from what i experienced while teaching them last two years. The saying, everthing changes except the change itself. Only change remains unchanged. Thank Allah, they change for better.

Should you my dear students, remain honest, positive,persistent and dogged in your quest for excellence. Helps from the Almighty will come in abundance that you can hardly imagine. They say miracles happen everyday. Nevertheless miracles are best friends of those who keep on toiling themselves despite odds and setbacks. Then. there will be ANOTHER REVOLUTION.

Sir
