Demotivated Yesterday I

For some, you might have noticed that i was on a demotivated mode yesterday..Anyhow, thanks to all my friends in YM for your concern, sorry if i did not reply..nonetheless, i appreciate it a lot.

Yesterday, was hell of a hectic day for me.. as well as demotivating.. I was engulfed with rage towards one of my students during class hour..Tell me people,

Was i wrong to throw him out of my class when he said

"Sup Babi"

Was i wrong to throw the hard duster to his face when he said

"Babi Panggang"

Was i wrong? What's your tolerance in terms of food serving if you celebrate Gawai or Xmas when you have other religion (namely Muslim) visits you during any of these festive season? Was my question. Simple and straight..but he just wont make my day go off that easily.

This 17 year old boy, i have been tolerating his manners dozens if not gajilion times already and my patience has taken to its toll yesterday when he seemingly thought it would be a great joke by answering me 'beri mereka makan babi, cikgu'... not once but thrice.

Explain to me, how can i not feel as though a volcano has erupted? I was in great anger i felt like landing my hands hard on his face! I warned him twice do not give me stupid and sensitive answer, but acting like a super hero, he ignored my words..only after i threw the duster twice that he left the classroom. "You stay out of my class, i dont want you here!" were my finals words to him..

But then, after a while, i felt that tremendous guilt inside me.. I was suppose to teach him, not push him away.. i was suppose to educate him, how to become a good person, not show him one opposite example. He is already known as a problem kid, then why should i be angry? I should have just ignored, but if he wont listen, then should i?

I love my students as my own. I felt so wrong..dalam aku marah, aku sedih sebenarnya.. aku sayang budak tu..nakal lah mcm mana sekali pun, dia tetap anak didik aku.. org semua beranggapan he and his friends can never changed and that perception eventually made them that way.. if only i had just a little more of tiny pieces of patience ystrday, throwing him out of my class wouldnt've happened..

Hmm..reading through, i thought what you did was right..but towards the end, i'd have to agree, that you as a teacher, should have more patience knowing he is already a troubled kid..still, you did what you think was right at that time..yes, sometimes, we do need to be stern with them after giving multiple chances..keep up the good work ok..

Sometimes a teacher perlu strict macam apa yang kitak polah tok. Memang as a teacher, you should felt guilty..becoz there r yr students. And it shows that u care for them walaupun sidak molah camya. Anyway, it's a good decision to punish him camya. Kids tok, mun kita terlalu lembut glak.. susah juak. Mudah nak nait kepalak. simok nak blaja. By end of the day,.. makbapak juak susah bila nanggar anak sik terdidik camya. XD

Felicia, our patience has its limits. im not saying i condone what u did because yre my friend BUT u have been extremely patient with him so i guess, it was only natural for you to blow yr top off. mun kmk, i know ill do more damage. kmk tok nang pemanas (ya kali mek x dapat jadi teacher). he should consider himself lucky that u only threw at him the duster and threw him off the class. if i were the teacher, kmk rasa ill throw EVERYTHING in my sight at his face. seriously.

senang cita lah nak, they can't expect you to just play along with their antics, because..

teachers ain't prophets!

its as simple as that. plus, hes 17 for gods sake. not 7.

thats what i think lah nak. at the end of the day, different strokes different folks.

Myra:
:) thanks..you made my day better. Kmk terasa guilty jak sebab dlm sekolah, he is under my care when they are in my session so ditching him out wasn't the supposedly exemplary move. haih, still, how i wish they would just respect us teachers more..

memandangkan aku x penah jadi cikgu so its not my place to give comments. but from my perspective, that punk really deserved what he got. we're only humans & when pushed to the edge, eventually we will snap. don't dwell too much on it ok? things happen & he might learnt a lesson or two from that incident. he better if he doesnt want to end up dead or in jail with that kind of attitude.

i only wished he has more respect like how we were during our school days. i dont see any of that anymore now. i admit, me became angry has got something to do with the sensitive answer and our religion. no respect at all, not even to me..penghinaan ya, even aku gik kalak anok org mun dak nya dah nak makan benda yang kita sik boleh makan..i sure do hope he has learn his lesson, with me at least..

Lynn, I used to teach kids aged 12-17 for a year back in 2006.

In one of my classes I had this problematic student named Alan. Very slow learner and very cincai.Dahlah suka polah bising. Sangat biadap plak tu.

Bila aku slow talk ngan nya, nya ok...tapi 2-3 hari lekak ya jadi antu balit...

Anyway, I don't know if this will work for you, but I think that that student was craving for attention.

Maybe d rmh nya sik diberi perhatian gilak. What you can do is to have a slow talk session to him every day at the end of school.

Ask him about normal stuff, like how many siblings he has, what are his hobbies, which subject is difficult for him to master...and then ask him why he is giving you so much trouble in class..

Let him know that you love all of your students very much and want them all to learn, but his friends can't learn in peace if he disturbs you while teaching.

They may be teenagers, but deep down inside they are still kids who need attention and love.

Hope this helps.

*Aku byk kali nangis time ngajar dolok...hehehehehehe..

a0ne:
kmk memang sik suka marah a0ne. kmk bukan pemarah orgnya but once triggered, singa pun boleh takut dgn kmk. i tend to confront those who seek nothing but my anger, sebab kmk rasa, bila di hadap depan2, lebih bagus dari hadap belakang2. kmk sgt marah hari ya, sebab udah berkali2 kmk nahan marah.
ada masanya kmk terasa sik tahan, tapi demi tugas, kmk sabarkan hati dgn lebih kental. benar kata ktk, miak special mcm ya, perlu di ajar cara special..kmk perlukan strategi.
hahaha, sik salah nasihatkan..jgn sampey benar2 kenak buang dah la
