Deep impact

I had observed the school for 1 week and I found that there was a really deep impact for me, especially I was a chinese school student. This is my first time to step my foot at the sk school.
For this few days, I realised that why the popularity of sk schools are much less compare to the other schools and I also realised that why some of the Malay families sent their children to the other school.
Maybe this will be a sensitive issue for some other people but sometimes we really need to step our foot on the ground to see what is happening right now and what is the reality. The world is changing and the generation are also changing. This is call evolution. ( Maybe tomorrow you will see me at Kamunting )
And also I realised that when we present our micro teaching or marco teaching, are we really know what happen to the school now?
Yes, we always compare to the best. But try to think logical and reality, when we are posting at big town, of course there is no problem for us to have a high technology teaching lesson. But how about we are compare to the worst situation, when we facing the half well-equipped facility? Just like the school I am observing now, it is near with town - Seremban, so it is no a rural place. ( I sure to saying that ), but some of the class have the LCD projector but did not have the white board, and some class have the white board but did not have the projector. So, what is the fuction for those things? Decoration? And I saw that in the staff room, no any teacher is using their laptop to do their lesson or something else include the math and science teacher. Why? coz they said that lack of the equipment. Can you all accept this kind of reason?
So, try to not fully depend to the technology, I know that is very fast, save time and convenient. Please use our hand, more reliable. The students are waiting.
Sometimes the educators also need to have a critical and creative thinking apart from what you did for the students.
Yes, I am really sad and disappointed what is happening now, but how long is going to change all those things? next year? 5 years? 50 years?

  1. I am glad you have that feeling. You won't end up at Kemunting by saying those words ... I think ... hi hi hi ..
    As you can see I am trying very hard to push you and your classmates to embrace technology in your learning ... hoping that it would become your culture ... just as what we see to some people with their handphones ... alas ... how many of you are doing so? Schools were equipt with schoolnet so that they can access the internet ... what happened to the internet access? how many school optimised what they have. Most people talk about what we don't have, but are we optimising the usage of what we have? waa.... I lecture pulak kat sini...
