Should I celebrate my birthday ?

Yesterday, 28/7 was my birthday. I am getting older. I can see clearly lots of grey hairs happily replacing my original hair. Emm... am I getting better than before? Let me check a checklist.

1) Good daughter to my mom - yes ( I give her money every month, visiting, calling, respecting etc)
2) Good wife - yes/maybe ( My hubby loves praying at Surau that is quite close to our house lately, so we only perform Tahajjud and Dhuha together, sometimes I cook, most of the time, not. , I clean/tidy up the house, I take care of our children....emm... I still can't control my voice when I get mad, I am a very jealous wife (even if he goes to the surau..hehe)... ..lots more. Emm... I am not a perfect wife but still consider ok to live together with..)
3) Good mother - yes/maybe ( I always get mad with my daughter. The main reason is because she copies me a lot. I always ask her to copy only good behaviors of me, not the bad one. Most of the time, I always show my love to my lovely daughter. Buy whatever she wants and always check her school books,assignments etc. My son... oh... I love him so much. He's so lovely. Only 6 and a half month-old. Insyallah, I will try my best to be patient ok).
4) Good daughter inlaw - yes ( my mother in law always says that I am very good..haha.... )
5) Good employee - no ( this is the most important part... I have to work harder and do something meaningful everyday. Please Allah, show me the right way)

Ok...I've got to stop now. Should do my work...

Where is she ?

Emm... remember my previous posting about the Bahasa teacher who is teaching my daughter at school ? Last wednesday, my daughter told me that her Bahasa teacher told all students that the PKHEM was going to check students' performance on Thursday. So she asked the students to be active and showed respect to the PKHEM. She also warned the students that if anyone failed to do their work, the PKHEM would do something about it. Emmm.... yes, that's true. The PKHEM is going to check the class. The main purpose is to see whether the Bahasa teacher is doing her job or not. Can she really be a teacher. That's the main purpose of vising the class and not to see the students' performance!

However, yesterday when the school ended, I asked what's going on in her class during the Bahasa period. She said that her Bahasa teacher was on leave. She might have given birth to a new child. Wah...is she scared ? Is she under pressure ? Should I feel guilty for reporting the issue to the PKHEM ?

I need a place

Just like the title above... yes, I do need a place to express my feelings. It's better to tell others about my feelings rather than keeping it inside my head.

My first entry is basically about my daughter's school. This is the main reason why I've created the blog. My daughter, yes, a very good daughter and a smart student has been attending this school for almost 3 months now. When we first came to this school, the PKHEM asked about her performance level. I told the teacher that my daughter could understand Malay, but not so good as other Malay students. But she is smart and a very fast learner. She might have problem for a while, but later she will perform. Emm... after having a discussion to see pros and cons, the PKHEM decided to put my daughter in the C class (out of A,B, C and D classes all together).

I thought in C class, she might have a good teacher to teach her Malay language. I thought that teachers might put more effort to teach weak students as compared to good students. Later, I know that I was wrong!. I don't even know that teachers in the weak class only take advantages. They didn't do or perform like what I aspect them to !

My daughter keeps complaining that her Bahasa teacher doesn't do anything in class. She just sits on her chair in front of her computer and asks students to do exercises in the book. She only monitors whether students do what she's asked them to do. How is my daughter going to learn something in the class if her teacher doesn't teach her ? How to do exercises if she knows nothing about Malay language ? Come on... she is now standard 4, didn't learn Malay before.... as a teacher you have to teach your students. That's your responsibility. What's wrong with you ? The government pays you to teach, not to do your own work!! If you want to do your own work, build a new school, be a headmaster!

Now is about her Math teacher. He always says that his students are all "bodoh". That's what my daughter's told me. "Do you know what mak.... who teach us about bodoh word ?"... one day she asked me that question. I replied, emm... no one teaches about the bad word. "No mak, don't you know, actually students understand about the bad world from their schools". It was quite surprising. Then she told me that her Math's teacher keeps saying that the students are bodoh. Is't because of my daughter in the C class than he aspects all students are same? Doesn't he know that his students can tell their parents about what is happening in the class ? Oh, does he really want other to say the same thing to his children ? Doesn't her know that all words are just like "doa" ?

I thought my daughter might have no problem with her English teacher. Later I found out something that was very interesting. This teacher asked her students to follow the instruction in the exercise book. The students were asked to write a very simple essay about something ( I forgot the title). My daughter wrote quite a long essay as she's very good at writing ( she used to be her school blogger before). What happened was, the next day, her teacher gave everything back without checking them. She said that she didn't want to check because the students were just doing nothing. The essays were just rubbish!. I asked my daughter, did she check your essay ? She said, " no mak... she didn't mark it at all ". Oh... this is another type of "bad" teacher. Why my daughter has to have these type of teachers ??

Last week, we sent a letter to the headmaster telling him that my daughter will be "away" on Friday as we had to go back to Kedah. So, she's off on Friday and yesterday, Monday, her first lesson was Bahasa. Just like others can imagine, she has no time to ask her friends about school homework/assignments. We came back from Kedah only on Sunday night which the next day was Monday. What happened was, my daughter was asked to do her work outside the class, on the dirty floor as she hadn't done her assignment. This is what she called, a punishment for the undisciplined students. Come on... where's this teacher attitude ? Doesn't she have an empathy ?

People might say, let by gone, be by gone. But for me, this is not right and I have to tell the headmaster. So I went to this school today to tell him about my feelings. Emm... the headmaster wasn't around. So, another teacher (another PKHEM) came to entertain me. I didn't tell her everything, but I asked her, was it possible to transfer my daughter to at least B class as she got the first place in her last exam? I also told her that she'd obtained 4A and 1C where the C is for Bahasa. I am asking that because my daughter told me that A and B classes have different teachers for all subjects except for Science, Pendidikan Islam and Seni subjects. So I think by putting her in the right class, she will perform better or at least learn the Bahasa in the right way. Emm... the teacher told me that it was impossible. My daughter has to stay in the class until end of the year. Then I told her, my daughter just came to this school for almost 1 month when later she sat on the exam. She managed to perform well even though she didn't learn any subjects before. She didn't attend any tuition class neither. So, I believe that my daughter is a very excellent student. Emm... as I said, I didn't tell anything bad about the teachers. The PKHEM then told me that she couldn't do anything as everything is inside the system. Emm.. doesn't she know that she's talking to a computer expert (perasan sikit) ?

Emm.... I think my patient has reached it's limit...enough is enough...... so I told the PKHEM everything. She jotted down the info and told me that she'll try her best to help. Can I believe her? Yeah... I'll just wait and see what is going to happen. If anyone tried to do something so called "unprofessional" attitude towards my daughter, they will get what they want ! That's a promise !
