just a piece of thought

salam,

it was yesterday when the PK HEM invited me to join a program specially conducted for year six students. they called it as pra-upsr program. they invited an outsider to conduct the course for the soon to be UPSR candidates. what made me feel so excited to share it here was when the instructor which happened to be a former teacher of mine said "They are weak in grammar items, see they can't even identify and differentiate the regular and irregular verbs". so sad.

i was even more  sad when the instructor introduced the 'stubborn verbs'. oho. for the entire of my life, my teacher never taught me about the stubborn verb.the basic two types are regular and irregular. hohoho. i simply didn't agree with the way he introduced the regular verb. he should introduced the universally used term for it. that's not the way to teach the students. it might not affect them now but in the future.

sakit mata eyhh.. major grammatical errors on the screen. students were proudly reading. i'm so little to correct the mistakes. i'm just a student teacher and not even a grammarian but at least, please!! check before you come and present the errors to the students.

students..they were so naive. when the instructor asked them to circle the regular verb, they did. proudly, the circled words by words. sadly, only two or three was right. kantoi, main tembak menembak.

takutnya nak jadi cikgu BI weyh!!!!
