All about working as a teacher

So far I enjoy my working life even though there are senior teachers yang buli.. well, i take it as jokes and try my best not to be so stressed up over it..
But here is one problem..

I’ve never wanted to be an ordinary teacher but somehow I must to. I was shocked to see that all the activities planned by the English team this year is basically very exam-oriented (I shouldn't supposedly...). Since I was part of the team, I wanted to complain but I’ve got the answer before I could actually ask, “There’s nothing we can do, these people, they want all things related to exam.

This is common in every school, I know. It happens even in boarding school. And we keep mentioning about this in our ESL assignments. I’m too idealistic and I even argued about this with my mom. But somehow I wish I can make a difference.

How eh?

boleh. tapi perlahan-lahan itu caranya. manusia tak boleh berubah dengan sekelip mata. satu tahun pun susah. inikan pula nak mengubah masyarakat.

kate mahatma ghandi. be the change u want to see.

mule dengan diri sendiri, titipkan dalam sanubari anak-anak murid perlahan-lahan disulamkan dengan doa dan tawakal.

insyaAllah. bukankah kite dulu sama seperti mereka. hanya peperiksaanlah dunia kita, dan kita juga belajar perlahan-lahan.

bukan mcm tu cikgu farah?

nisa... "u must be the change u want to see in the world"..

that's memangggg my goal heree..thehheh..

alhamd.. i know it's unrealistic to change the system secara gedebuk gedebak.. just to express what i feel here..

btw, im glad to work with a team of English teachers whom i think are very intelligent people, it;s just that they opt for this approach because they think thats the best for these children.. and the best thing is they listen to someone still new like me..cuma it mite be that they think it takes time (like uve said) to implement something which is not exam-oriented.

btw how r u doing nisak?
