The Sugar Coated Teacher Talk

This morning our school had its report card day. Well, I don't find anything funny about this particular day although I do admit that I am a bit excited for this day.

Today, I made my maiden voyage to report card giving.

As I sat on my place at the class I was assigned to (you see, I was the former teacher of Form One ****) I was thinking of making a quick distribution to the parents and just say whatever was needed to be said. So, in came the parents and below is one of the common scenario.

"Selamat pagi, cekgu..."
I smiled and replied their greeting. I gave her her son's result slip. Her eyes intendly studying the son's result. As she was doing this, the son smiled sheepishly at me.

"Banyak E-nya cekgu...Inilah si anu ni, pemalas...bukannya belajar!! Bermain saja dia di rumah ini! Buduh bah anak sia ni cekgu..."

"Kak, sebenarnya anak kakak ni nda buduh (well, although I do agree with her statement...) dia mungkin nda faham ka...malu dia mo bertanya sama gurunya ni...(what? shud I say "Ya, anak anda memang buduh, terima la kenyataan)"

Memang sugar coated. I am not really good with my BM...terblur sikit some parents when I terspeaking.

Here's another one:
"Encik, anak Encik ni memang nakal dalam kelas. Saya dan guru2 lain suda berabis kasi nasihat, namun..."

PANG!!

Well, there goes the son.

"Sabar, encik...sabar..."

"Inilah ko ni!!! Bapa antar pi sikolah mo kasi pandai ko. Tapi ko escape pula!! Panat cigu2 ko ni mo mengajar...bla...bla..bla..."

I wished I could say, "Sir, I have three other parents waiting for me...can you have this lecture at home instead?"

hehehe...
