Last year, I was a teacher in rural area Sarawak, and this year, I’m a teacher at my hometown, Johor, and the differences is huge. Really really huge. At my previous school, there are only 43 pupils, and my current school, has more than 600 pupils. My previous school only has 11 teachers, and now more than 50 pupils. At my previous school, there is only 7-9 pupils per class, here, more than 20. Well, I heard it better where there are school where the pupils are more than 40 per class. There are so many huge differences, and both got advantages and disadvantages. Both places have taught me with so many things, and let me experienced so many good and bad things. It helped me to develop to be a person, and make me able to know more about me. I realized the things I am able and capable of doing, as a person and as a teacher. I always heard that many teachers ended up being a teacher because they got no other option and being a teacher is as a last resort. Being a teacher is not my la...

Currently I’m teaching days for my pupils… and it so hard to make my pupils remembered the spelling and the pronunciation of days in English. I keep on drilling, and helping them memorized it, and yet no success. For smarter kids, they hhaving little problems, but problems come from pupils less smarter ( can I used that term?, sorry) But I meant well. I really wanted to help this kids. But it wasn’t easy. The only days that they seemsto find it easy to memorize is Monday. Ohh… what should I do? I believe I have been stern enough for them to learn. I have gave them exercises for them to write it  and yet with little success only. Things getting harder. It kind frustrating when my pupils result in first mid year examination wasn’t that good. It was so fulfilling when this pupils able to understand and memorize the things that I teach that day. So, whoever said that teaching is easy, look again.

Last Friday, on July 2nd, my school held a Parents Teacher meeting… and as a class teacher for 2 Pintar, I participated in the event. Out of 31 pupils in my class, 30 parents came. For me, it’s a huge number and I’m glad. I able to meet face to face with my pupils parents and talked about their children.  It went really well. No parents said a bad comment about me as a teacher and most shockingly, a few parents actually told me to do anything to their children if they do any mistakes..Yeah… a permission to punish their children. For me, no teacher would like to punish their students, but when things got out of hand, that’s when the necessary actions had to be taken. Who says being a teacher is easy? Some parents told me that their children is nice at home because they alone, but when they see their peers, it seems like they see their gangs, where they have power to be out of control. Well that for boys. As for girls, most of them talk non-stop… and even their parents do not...

School has started since last Monday. The teacher is still in holidays mode. Just kidding. With school open, many things need to be done. And as mid year examination was held just before the break, so, during the holidays, I’ve been checked and marking my pupils mark. I’m teaching English year 1, all classes, Bijak, Pintar and Rajin, and science for year 2 Pintar. My feelings about the result? Mix. But overall, kind disappointed as many pupils unable to answer the questions correctly. Next week, on July 2nd, school open day will be held. As a class teacher for year 2 Pintar, I’m looking forward to meets my pupils parents and talk about their children. This week has been a very busy week for me and my colleague. Participated in a the village program, and my job to create a blog for the village. Visit the blog http://tanjungsedili.blogspot.com I know now, that the duty as the teacher not only at the school, but need to try to contribute to the place that I work in, as ...

School holidays is nearly over. Cannot imagine how time flies. It’s been nearly two weeks already, and yet still some works the teacher have yet not done, that is marking pupils examination paper. Well, we only have two weeks’ vacation, and various activities to do, no wonder the work have not finished. Well, that is just excuses, isn’t? The school holidays started from 5 to 20th June. I got to meet Singapore teachers, and they said that they are having four weeks of school holidays. Ohh, how envy. The mid year examination was done on 1st to fourth of June, just before school holidays. The teachers are required to submit the pupils mark on the first week after the school open. Hmmm, then, I should not do any more procrastination and need to start marking those papers. Hopefully my pupils will do well. Fighting. !!!

This is my second year as a teacher. A profession that I adore, and I admired until recently. Never I thought that being a teacher is actually not an easy task. Patience is being tested all the time, endurance is seeking all the time, or else I'm not able to teach. This profession has taught me so many things and makes me see so many things, wonderful, pleasant and vice versa. I learn to know myslef better through this profession, the true me. That actually I need to learn to be more patience, stronger and be more sociable (the thing I am bad). Learning to be more creative, be hardworking and ending my procrastination habit. So many things I learn. I also very fortunate to experience different culture, meeting new people, staying in a place that I never thought I will arrive, and experiencing the bitter sweet of life. It marvellous of what I've been experiencing for just two years of being a teacher. Teaching is not an easy job (well, nothing is easy), but it so rewarding. S...

My current student I should now blogging about my pupils. This is the pictures of my current pupils. I’m their home class teacher. It was different from what I experienced in Sarawak. In Sarawak there are only 7 to 9 pupils in a class, but here that are more than 30 pupils. At first I felt really hard and difficult to manage the pupils, and it hard to scream all the time. Well, scream in here for the attention to make sure the pupils heard what I’m teaching them, and not solely to angry at them all the time. For me they are cute, adorable pupils, but at times, they really getting on my nerve. One time, one of my pupil put his foot print on my notice board, and I am really mad at that pupils. Its the second time I redo the notice board, even though it wasn’t pretty, but still, I made it. It cost money and times, and saw what my pupils did, I have no other option but to send reminder to him not to do again. As I just got a new camera, well, my old camera, damaged because of my...
