1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Do Malaysian teachers take the word 'stupid' lightly?
Friday, March 23, 2007
Let just say I'm now not in a good mood. I'm now in a distance learning class session now. The teacher [I won't call her a lecturer because I don't even know is if she has masters level] told to the class students that we will be having a progress test on the 29/3/07, which is next Friday. I disagree because I will be away for some personal matters which I have planned for one month ago. And then another thing is this teacher self-declared the date of the test. She just told the class we will be having a test at the end of the month. She said maybe 31/3/07. Right. A few weeks ago, I realized the teacher didn't send the course timetable at the beginnin of the class; the timetable that shows the dates of the chapters she's going to teach in a week and the dateline for assignment/tests/exams. I asked jolenesiah if her dumb dumb uni handed this out, she said yes. And why not me? Even my alma mater did that.

So when I asked the teacher do you have the course schedule?? The reason I asked is to check if she really self-declared the test date. Then she debated with me that we, part-timers, have to juggle the time between work and study. Very true. But if you have given the test date on the first day of class, I won't even bring up this class schedule issue. So I just told her in class that you can't tell us the test date one week away from now. If you want at least 2 weeks away. So I just told her off that you didn't even give us a course schedule you have no right to set the date on your own inconvenience. You know what I heard? If I'm not mistaken, she said "I DON'T WANT TO ANSWER THIS STUPID QUESTION." If she didn't say this sentence, she still mentioned the word STUPID; loud and clear. But damn it, I didn't get to record it in time. So ... never mind ... I asked her what's the test format. She said she doesn't like to repeat and I always forget what she said. She said she has written it on the board and no I didn't see it. I suspected she did that on the day I was absent.

What I want to point out here is be it teachers, lecturers or any kind of educators, the word stupid and other words that can degrade one's image or self-esteem should not be taken lightly. As an educator,you are a role model to the students. Patience and respect are an invisible virtue that is hammered into the hearts of educators and they are also the prequisite to be an educator. Respect because no matter how stupid the students are, they worth your respect. You can call the students stupid if you want the better out of them; you scold them because you care for them. So educators don't take these 'harmful' words lightly. Remember those times when you keep on asking someone to tell you how to do something repeatedly. And please don't think just because you are an educator, you are at the top of the education system, therefore, you are invisible. You are not. And please remember that as an educator, you are instilling values to the students to become a better person so please be careful with your words and actions. Because of some bad apples, some of younger generations or people the same as me are rotting; so oblivious and ignorant. Why are these people like that?? It is because of some educators. Because of you, some of the students think it is not their responsibilities to fight for justice. Because of you, some students think it is not important to know about the state of our environment. Because of you, some people are so selfish and have no compassion.

Some bad apples really betray the trust of the parents ... how disappointing it is.

*I'm saying SOME educators ... not all. Understood?

Let's just say that some teachers don't teach for the sake of teaching.. it's really hard to find good teachers now.. Maybe you could complain about your teacher..
