Stories from my desk
It's PMR week and I'm glad I managed to let myself out of becoming an invigilator. I can never stand being stationary for a longggggggg period of time and I rather be copy printing and stapling papers at school rather than be at another school and stand for mindless hours. No offense for those invigilating cos I know you guys will get money hahaha...
I'm glad I stepped out of the invigilator's list because on the second day of PMR, my Form 3 students were frantically looking for me to sooth their nerves for English Paper 1 and Paper 2.
"Teacher...banyaknya perkataan baru!!!"
"Teacher...apa itu "arguing"??"
"Teacher..."anxious" tu ertinya nervous kan?"
"Teacher...saya lupa bah nama kawan si Dr jekyll!!"
"Nahhhh nasib sia tulis pasal si Robinson sama si Friday!!!"
"Teacher, tu article sia tertulis macam report!!! Macamana ni??"
"Teacher...doakan kami sangkut2 dapat B ya"
"Teacher..suda ku prektis handwriting ku..." (Ya, handwritingmu macam cacing..tulung la tulis cantik2 karanganmu)
Teacher this...teacher that...my desk was swarmed by my students!!
Eventhough it was a bit crowded, but I feel blessed. My PLBS and 001M were left unfinished that day but I'm glad that in a small way, I managed to calm them down. They've tried their best and I'm sure deep down (although sometimes I feel like killing them!!) they really want to prove to me that they were listening in between my nagging lines. At that moment, I just don't care about falling graphs or a decrease of English language subject %, it's my job to handle that. These kids have tried their very best knowing that English to them is like quantum physics.
I heard my colleague commented "Wah, ramai peminat ah..." and I noticed, the majority of students who swarmed my desk were boys! Only two girls came to see me about the papers and they just said "Teacherrrrrr...susah oh!!!" and then they left. The boys were "TEACHERR!!!" here and "TEACHERRRR!!!!" there..I thought I attracted pheromones.
Somehow, I think I'm still not ready for this profesion...but maybe He thinks otherwise. Dear God, You know what's best...and thank you for giving my students the inspiration and determination to pass their exam. Amen.
Its true what some educator say:
The reward of teaching do not come in monetary forms, rather it is shown in the eyes of the children.

I've always liked that part of the students. When they show enthusiasm to learn and to succeed, suddenly any desire to kill them dissolved into nothing :)
^_^ hehe..
sa inda ajar form 3 students lagi & i felt almost nothing about the PMR. except for my brother @ keningau la.. i hope he will pass his PMR exam with at least one A.. crossfinger!
sia kena suruh jadi invigilator for pmr exam...shial ni...yes, it was the superlong mindless task..tiring and foolish :p
but ada juga yang funny when I see how student answered the question:
Apakah hubungan ikan gapi dengan jentik2...jawapan: bermusuhan.
Ironically, I was laughing about it, it turned out I had cold argument with guppy on last Friday too. sot betul...
especially when your students did well under your wings,the feeling is simply ...good
Hi Cynta, The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his or her listener with the wish to teach him or herself.
Have fun...never can tell one of your students might become a Prime Minister one day, Lee.
Was in the same shoes as urs. . Pulled out being as an invigilator. and being swarmed by the beez of students. .
