TO SCHOOL ONE'S MINDS IS A DAUNTING TASK

Dear students,

What an easy task! should we teachers know things lingering in your mind moment we are about to open our mouth to talk the so called subject matters be they English, Mathematics and etc. Interestingly, God does not endow us,teachers,telepathy such a gift earned by Solomon the prophet so that we have to crack our brains figuring out the best applicable methods to unearth the best in you dear students.

Our sole task to school your mind and at the same time for that purpose to achieve we have to stretch our mind muscles to think beyond applied-yet not so practical approaches for we should at all times better ourselves to better you. Blessed and lucky are those whose today is better than yesterday and tomorrow is better than today.Teaching is in fact an enjoyable task until it has been laden with things and chores not worthy doing or attending. We teachers sometimes become reluctant attendees as our heart are towards grooming young minds with things benefit them the most. Unfortunately, we need to abide by dissenting directives from two self-proclaimed lions at the cost of students' learning hours. One party is insistent to finish the allocated budget no matter what programs to be held. Another prides for exercising absolute directives from the ministry.We teachers are always in the dark for what and for whom the bell tolls.

Daunting the task is when we repeatedly repeat the same thing over and over again as if all said is new. Yet, nothing changes but the calender and the moon. This what makes us do wake in the middle of the night contempleting of our past wrong doings waiting for retribution once we ourselves become teachers. I spare that thought or else i spare no one my humble slaps.And from now on, we have 50 days and 80 days left for pmr and spm respectively. Though exam is not everything but mind you that you will forever carry digits printed on the paper. Why can't you make it colorful that your parents grinning from ear to ear moments they see you result! we teachers at that time are nowhere to be found as we did finish our task preparing you to the battle!to celebrate we rather smile from afar knowing some of your are jubilant enough!

Sir

  1. now i know why smk sri aman deserves to be one of the high-performance schools in Msia.. it's a combination of a passionate principal who cares less about money but bringing out the best in each and everyone of her students, and the students whom been instilled since young certain values that we call it Islamic values e.g love for the environment, respecting other people, being humble etc. I know I will not encounter such likes of students anymore..
    They are more religious that our own so called religious school. Anyway, experience without any reflection or action is meaningless huhu...
