Sajak kemerdekaan A Samad Said

A. Samad Said

SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA - MALAYSIA 57-SAJAK KEMERDEKAAN.
Murid sekarang..YaAllah amat menguji keimanan cikgu. Sabarlah cikgu..jgn hilang pertimbangan..

Mana tak Melayu lemah
Di ajar sikit lah payah
Lewat sikit tak payah sekolah
Jeling sikit cikgu di marah
Kuis sikit serang sekolah
Pukul sikit siaplah kes mahkamah

Beli buku tak mampu
Hand phone pintar dlm saku
Mesyuarat PIBG nanti dulu
AJK PIBG hentam cikgu
Dapat bantuan aku dulu

Aku pelanggan
Aku raja
Naik kepala

Cikgu ajar patut patut
Nazir datang cikgu takut
PPD datang cikgu kecut
Fail selori mesti angkut
Cikgu takut bangsa semput

Buat dewan tak boleh guna
Duit habis berjuta juta
Buat sistem sama cerita
Lambat menyiput salahkan sever.

Cara dulu kata tak berkesan
Denda dan rotan ketingalan zaman
Kaedah termoden jadi amalan
Inilah jadinya genarasi idaman

Sepuluh tahun sudah berlalu
Masih sama macam dahulu
Anak bangsa makin tak tentu
Sampai bila kita nak tunggu
Tak siapa pun yang tahu
Kerana matlamat masih buntu...

Wondets of the world

Assalamualaikum
Just to share

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World."

Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great   Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many.
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
These are free gifts from Allah (SWT) we overlooked as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted.

If you wake up each day and have all these then you have all the wonders of the world.

If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets, but only poor kids do that.

If power ensures security,then top officials should walk unguarded, but people who live on roadside feel more secure.

If beauty brings ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages.
But they have one of the worst relationships.

That's why...
Live simply...
Walk humbly...
Love genuinely!!!
Every extra day given to us by Allah is a reminder of how close we are to the grave.
Why not use each of these gifts to say Alhamdulillah and glorify Allah.
May Allah give us the heart that appreciate His mercy on us.

Aaminn

Guru oh guru

From A School Principal's speech at a graduation......

He said "The Doctor wants his child to become a doctor.........
the Engineer wants his child to become an engineer......
The Businessman wants his ward to become CEO.....
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them, as well..!!!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE" ....Very sad but that's the truth.....!!!

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become only a teacher?"

To stress his point he said to another guest;
"You're a teacher, Mrs Sharma. Be honest. What do you make?"

Teacher Mrs Sharma, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began...)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 min. without an I- Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn't everything.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about India while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they
were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.

(Mrs Sharma paused one last time and then continued.)

Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make.

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO's, AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS..........

What do you make Mr. CEO?

His jaw dropped; he went silent.

THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO EVERY  teacher you know .

Low quality Malaysian education more alarming than household debt

Low quality Malaysian education more alarming than household debt, says World Bank economist
The poor quality of Malaysia's education system is more worrying than the level of debt in its households, said a World Bank senior economist in Kuala Lumpur today.
This is because the country's substandard education system would affect the pool of skilled talent it needs to grow its economy to become a highincome nation, while high household debt is not necessarily a problem if the economy continues to grow and citizens are gainfully employed.
Dr Frederico Gil Sander, who is senior economist for Malaysia, said Malaysians should be "alarmed" that their children were doing worse in school than children in Vietnam, a country that is poorer than Malaysia.
"Rural Vietnamese students do better than Malaysian students," said Sander, when met a forum that is part of the Global Malaysia series organised by the Economic Transformation Programme.
Sander was referring to a world student performance assessment test called PISA which had measured how students in 65 countries did in mathematics, science and reading. According to PISA's 2012 results Malaysian students scored below average or ranked 52 out 65. In contrast, Vietnamese students ranked 17 out of 65.
Malaysia's poor PISA results spotlighted the weakness of Malaysia's school system, despite the fact that education gets the largest share of funds every year from the national budget.
Critics have pointed out that the PISA results contradicted the government's insistence that Malaysia had a world class education system. Critics have also questioned the real worth of the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) which produces many students who scored As, but who can't compete with their peers from Singapore, China and Taiwan.
Gil Sander said an efficient education system should be decentralised to give more power to schools to make their own decisions based on their local circumstances.
"At the same time, parents should be provided with information on the performance of each school in their area so that they can send their children to the best schools," he said.
On the other hand, Gil Sander claimed that Malaysia's rate of household debt is not nessarily bad, so long as the economy keeps growing and incomes keep rising.
"Low levels of debt could be an indicator of no access to finance, but if a person borrows money to buy a car to go to a good job, that is not a bad thing.
"The important thing is that salaries keep rising," he said.

Pendidikan di uk berbanding shanghai (the independent 27 Mac 2014)

Baca pandangan  Elizabeth truss berkaitan dengan pendidikan di uk berbanding shanghai (the independent 27 Mac 2014)

The UK will suffer economic decline if attitudes towards maths do not change, according to Elizabeth Truss.
The education minister suggested that the nation's productivity and growth is being put under threat by poor maths skills.
Ms Truss's comments come the week before she is due to lead a trip to Shanghai, China, to find out why their results in the subject are so high.
Recent international tests put China, along with a number of other Asian nations , at the top for maths skills.
“Shanghai is the top-performing part of the world for maths - their children are streets ahead,” Ms Truss said.
“Shanghai and Singapore have teaching practices and a positive philosophy that make the difference. They have a belief that diligence redeems lack of ability.
“Our new curriculum has borrowed from theirs because we know it works - early learning of key arithmetic, and a focus on times tables and long division, for instance.”
She added that students in Shanghai have a “can-do attitude to maths, which contrasts with the long-term anti-maths culture that exists here”.
“The reality is that unless we change our philosophy, and get better at maths, we will suffer economic decline,” Ms Truss said.
“At the moment our performance in maths is weakening our skills base and threatening our productivity and growth. I am determined to change this.”
The minister, who will be joined by a number of headteachers on the China trip, is due to visit three schools and teacher training centres during her visit, the Department for Education (DfE) said.
The department said that the visit was the latest step in a drive to raise maths standards, and will look at what has made areas of the Far East among the best in the world at teaching the subject.
More than half a million 15-year-olds took part in the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) study, with the findings published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in December.
Overall, the UK came 26th in maths with an average score of 494. This was broadly the same as the average for the subject, and on a par with nations such as the Czech Republic, France,and Norway.
But it also leaves the UK lagging far behind leading nations including Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.
A new analysis of the data, published yesterday, found that the children of cleaners in Shanghai and Singapore outperform the sons and daughters of UK doctors and lawyers in global maths tests.
In the UK, the children of parents with a “professional” job - such as doctor or lawyer - scored 525.94 points on average in the PISA maths test.
In Shanghai, China, the sons and daughters of parents with “elementary” occupations - such as cleaners and catering assistants - scored 568.9 points on average. In Singapore, this group scored 533.58 points.
A separate survey by the business group CBI, published last year, concluded that around three in 10 employers are dissatisfied with the standard of school and college leaver's numeracy skills.
The DfE said that the government was prioritising maths because of the subject's importance to young people competing for jobs, as well as its importance to the economy.
A number of reforms are already being introduced, such as banning calculators from tests for 11-year-olds, requiring teenagers who do not get a grade C at GCSE in maths to continue studying the subject, new maths qualifications for post-16 students and bursaries to attract top maths graduates into teaching.

What Students Taught Me About Being a Good Teacher

‘What Students Taught Me About Being a Good Teacher’

Awesome educator Ferial Pearson reveals her secret to classroom success. As told to Suzi Parker.September 10, 2013

"Everything I know about being a good teacher, I learned from my students."If students don’t feel safe, respected and celebrated in your classroom, they really aren’t going to learn much. You can know your material backwards and forwards, but it won’t matter. Everything I know about being a good teacher, I learned from my students.Once I was counseling a student from the Gay Straight Alliance Club. I said, “You are so bright. Why are you failing?” He said he was worried about being shoved down the stairs after class. Now, if you are sitting in a class worried about getting from algebra to English without being shoved down the stairs, if you are worried all the time about what is going to happen to you if someone finds out you’re gay, you can’t study or learn.I think that student saved me as a teacher. That became my number one priority: Students can be whoever they are, and they will be celebrated. They are allowed to bring their cultural capital into the classroom.

For instance, a lot of students have names from other countries, and teachers don’t even try to say their names. Your name is the first part of your identity, and so many students have stories about why they are named what they are. You’ve got to know your students’ names.Teachers will often say they can’t get parents to meetings. A lot of parents don’t feel comfortable in the school building. In some cultures, parents only come to the school if a student is in trouble. I ask, “Are you inviting them for a good reason?” I had a parent who was a poet. I invited her to help the students. She gave them some ideas, read some poems, and the students loved it.

I try to never put down a student’s language or culture. If my students speak African-American slang or are cussing, I talk about code switching. There is a time and place for different languages. I tell them that in this class, you are going to talk like you are onOprah. In the hallway you can talk like you talk at the club.

Instead of them just following rules I create, we sit together and make up a list of behaviors that will make us all feel safe and comfortable—and that includes me. We describe what each rule means and what it means in their cultures. I try not to implement my norms, but there are some non-negotiables, like no violence.I encourage humor with the rules, like make sure you keep your clothes on at all times. Don’t tear your hair out if you are frustrated. Because of these rules, I have never had a problem in the classroom.We have to be responsive to their culture, and technology is their culture. It seems everyone has a cell phone, so I try to use cell phones in the classroom. I use polleverywhere.com, a free web application that allows you to create a survey online, and students can text their answers online. It’s a good way to do a formative assessment. Sometimes we have a competition about who can define a word the fastest. I say, “Okay, go,” and they whip out their phone to see who can find the definition. The first one to get it wins a pack of gum or something.Straight Talk From the Stars of 'TEACH'If they abuse the technology, they lose it. (But I would never take a phone from a student. I saw a teacher beat up once over that.)

Teachers need support. At the College of Education at the University of Nebraska, they have created a brand-new initiative. There are four of us, and we are trying to figure out ways to get teachers in the classroom earlier, with more mentoring and support. I’m an “instructional coach.” A lot of teachers waste time in college, spending money and then realizing that teaching isn’t for them. Now we want them to answer the question before they get out: Is this something I love? Young teachers also really need to know they are not alone, and that schools serve students as a team. It’s easy for a young teacher to burn out and feel overwhelmed if they feel responsible for every aspect of a student’s well-being and academic growth, especially if they have students who are struggling.

The number one thing in teaching is relationships. You have to build relationships with basically everyone you come in contact with—students, other teachers, administrators, parents. If teachers communicate well and often with staff, faculty, parents, and members of the community, they can be culturally responsive and make use of the cultural capital students bring to the classroom. It makes things easier on the teachers, prevents classroom management issues, and empowers students.

Ferial Pearson specializes in urban education in Omaha, Nebraska, which has more Fortune 500 companies than any other U.S. city. But it is also a place with intense poverty and a high number of undocumented immigrants. This semester, Pearson is coaching wanna-be teachers at the College of Education at the University of Nebraska on how to be culturally responsive educators.

Lessons From 18 Years Working With At-Risk Kids

Experienced Teachers Teach Us: Lessons From 18 Years Working With At-Risk Kids

Takepart.com By Suzi Parker
Takepart.com

For 18 years Sandra Christenson taught at a continuation school in downtown Los Angeles adjacent to a Greyhound bus terminal. She knows first-hand the trials and tribulations facing at-risk students.“I would often get new kids every week, even if they were bright; who knew if I would see them next year?” Christenson says. Some students at Metropolitan Continuation High School had already seen the inside of jail, some were young parents and many were apathetic about education.Amid this tough environment, she made it her mission to teach English and reading classes in a way that compelled her students to want to learn.

But to accomplish this, she had learning of her own to do. “A student called ‘Monster’ had a heart-to-heart with me my first year teaching at Metro,” Christenson says. “He told me to be stricter. He taught me how to read gang signs and gang graffiti. I learned to learn from my students, and I became a better teacher. They wanted strictness with caring and I changed my style over the years, and it changed all our lives.”At Metropolitan, it was a challenge to help students just find the bravery to read. Most came from families where parents and siblings did not read books at home for pleasure.“My AP English class changed the way students looked at hard work,” she said. “One girl, who had endured sexual abuse, found a way to persevere through her life by using the five hours of reading a night and the Saturday classes as a model of toughness and preparedness. After taking the AP test, she reported her attacker who went to jail as a result.”

Christenson discovered that creating goals for students, inspired them to raise their test scores. She encouraged students and teachers to look at results from other schools and see where Metropolitan ranked. Suddenly, students wanted to get better.“They had never done homework, had never revised,” Christenson said. “I gave them hard deadlines, and students had to stay after school until they were met. We really would hold their feet to the fire. It was transformative for me and my students. Other teachers thought I was crazy, and I should be in another school. But more and more people got on board and the test scores got better.”

Christenson believes teachers must be allowed to bring what they love into the classroom. Her classes followed every election, especially the local ones, and learned about the many sides of the issues. Her students even worked the polls and registered fellow students to vote. Christenson's classes have also followed the stock market, 'buying' stocks, and keeping graphs on their progress.Christenson led opera and theater workshop classes, so her students could attend performances and films of both. She believes, “A teacher opens up the world to her students.” 

Two years ago she left Metropolitan when her partner got a job in Sacramento. Christenson now substitute teaches there, and on any given day she could teach kindergarten or fifth graders in any part of the city at any socio-economic level.“I walk into the skins of other teachers now,” she says. “But it has furthered my education and my humility. I learn something everyday. Either I get something great from the teacher or learn something the teacher doesn’t do, but maybe should do. I’m still very dedicated to teaching. If I get a full-time job I’ll go back to it in a minute.”

Dengarlah keluhan para guru

OLEH: PROF MADYA DATUK DR MOHAMMAD AGUS YUSOFF

Tarikh: November 3, 2013. SINAR HARIAN

Dua minggu lagi cuti sekolah bermula.Biasanya guru-guru cukup gembira dengan percutian ini kerana mereka mempunyai masa untuk berehat dan bercuti bersama keluarga.Tapi kali ini kegembiraan tersebut suram kerana ramai dari mereka tertekan dengan sistem baru yang digunakan oleh Kementerian, iaitu Sistem Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS).

Betul sistem ini diperkenalkan oleh Kementerian setelah beberapa kali mesyuarat diadakan.Betul sistem ini diperkenalkan kerajaan setelah mengambil kira kebaikannya untuk guru, murid-murid dan sistem pendidikan negara.Betul tujuan sistem ini baik untuk transformasi sistem pendidikan negara, iaitu “untuk menilai potensi murid dan kesediaan untuk belajar, selain menguji penguasaan dan pencapaian.”

Tetapi apakah sistem ini betul-betul baik untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan negara? Apakah sistem ini betul-betul boleh diterima oleh para guru? Pertanyaan ini perlu diteliti sebelum mendapat jawapannya.Saya sudah mendengar lama rungutan para guru tentang hal in sejak ia mula dilaksanakan pada tahun 2011 di peringkat sekolah rendah dan pada tahun lepas bagi peringkat sekolah menengah.Ada yang menulis secara peribadi meminta saya membangkitkan hal ini.Tetapi saya diam sehinggalah saya dapati kelemahan pelaksanaan sistem ini semakin ketara.

Apa yang lemahnya dengan sistem ini?Lemahnya bukanlah pada tujuannya yang baik:(i) untuk menilai potensi murid,(ii) memantau pertumbuhan dan membantu meningkatkan potensi murid; dan(iii) membuat pelaporan bermakna tentang pembelajaran individu.Tetapi lemahnya sistem ini adalah pada penggunaan sistem memasukkan datanya yang tidak boleh ‘comply’ dengan beban data semasa.Sistem Pangkalan Data PBS Lemah Justeru lemahnya sistem data PBS ini, maka guru perlu memasukkan data pada waktu lewat malam.Akibatnya, pada waktu pagi guru mengantuk menyebabkan mutu mengajar menjadi lemah, sekali gus menjejas mutu pengajaran dan pembelajaran.Akibatnya, murid tidak mendapat pembelajaran yang sempurna kerana waktu guru dihabiskan pada tugas perkeranian, bukan pada tugas hakikinya. Ini kerana selain sibuk memasukkan data, guru juga sibuk mengemaskan rekod.Aduh!!!

Apa lagi? Guru juga terpaksa menyiapkan kerja-kerja PBS sendiri seperti membina instrumen soalan, menanda dan menyemak kertas soalan.Selepas itu, guru perlu mengadakan aktiviti bilik darjah untuk menyelesaikan segala keperluan kurikulum dan kemahiran insaniah yang lain.Guru kadang-kadang terpaksa lepaskan murid ke aras band yang lebih tinggi biarpun arasnya belum dicapai.Selain itu, guru perlu mengurus fail pelajar yang mungkin mencecah angka ribu dan puluhan unit almari untuk penyimpanan fail berkenaan serta memasukkan ratusan band pelajar ke dalam sistem.Bayangkan bagaimana susah dan tertekannya guru jika internet hang?Bayangkan bagaimana lelahnya guru setelah disemak semula dalam sistem, data yang dimasukkan sebelum ini tidak ada dalam pangkalan?Maka dari sinilah, guru selalu bertanya, siapakah yang membangunkan sistem ini?

Mengapa diberi kepada pembekal yang tidak berkelayakan untuk menyediakan sistem ini kepada sekolah dan guru?Mengapa kerajaan boleh melaksanakan sistem ini dikala sistem ini masih belum mesra pengguna? Bilakah mutu sistem ini akan dipertingkatkan? Dan bermacam persoalan lagi.Saya pernah menceritakan kelemahan sistem ini kepada kawan saya, seorang pegawai di PPD.Beliau kata kepada saya guru yang merungut dengan sistem PBS ini adalah guru yang malas dan tidak ada semangat untuk berjaya dalam bidang keguruan.Maka beliau pun mulalah bercerita kepada saya tentang kejayaan sistem ini di negara-negara lain.Saya tidak nafikan kejayaan sistem ini di negara lain, tetapi saya katakan sistem di sini tidak mesra guru kerana sistemnya selalu 'hanged' sehingga menyebabkan guru tertekan.Ada guru yang terpaksa bangun pada jam 3 pagi semata-mata untuk memasukkan data. Jadi kata saya, sistem PBS ini mungkin sesuai di negara lain, tapi belum tentu sesuai di negara kita.Anggur yang sesuai ditanam di Perancis belum tentu sesuai ditanam di Cameron Highlands.Akhirnya, setelah mendengar keluhan para guru sejak sistem ini diperkenalkan, saya cuma ingin katakan guru yang mengeluh bukan kerana mereka tidak ‘love teaching’. Tapi mereka mengeluh kerana sistem PBS ini membebankan dan tidak mesra pengguna.Oleh itu, jika kerajaan mahu juga meneruskan penggunaan sistem ini, teruskanlah dengan membaiki dan meningkatkan sistemnya supaya para guru tidak lagi tertekan dengan sistem yang tidak mesra pengguna.Tugas mengajar ini seronok dan mulia. Maka, jangan bebankan para guru dengan perkara yang tidak sepatutnya.

TIPS IBU BAPA GENIUS

1. Jangan pukul anak dari lutut ke atas.

2. Jangan gunakan tangan/anggota tubuh kita utk memukul anak dengan tangan dan jangan sesekali menampar anak pakai tangan kita. nanti anak jadi bertambah degil dan nakal dan tak boleh control.

3. Rotan/pukul anak di telapak kakinya . Secara saintifiknya ada kaitan dengan refleksologi dan merangsang ke bahagian otak.

Sabda Rasulullah SAW

“Berguraulah dengan anak kamu kala usianya satu hingga tujuh tahun. Berseronok dengan mereka, bergurau hingga naik atas belakang pun tak apa. Jika suka geletek, kejar atau usik anak asalkan hubungan rapat. Lepas tujuh hingga 14 tahun kita didik dan ajar, kalau salah pukullah dia (sebagai pengajaran)”

4. Mulakanlah hidup anak anda dengan nama panggilan yang baik. Nama panggilan yang kurang baik akan menyebabkan anak anda malu dan merasa rendah diri. (Dalam Islam sendiri nama panggilan yang baik adalah digalakkan).

5. Berikan anak anda pelukan setiap hari (Kajian menunjukkan anak yang dipeluk setiap hari akan mempunyai kekuatan IQ yg lebih kuat daripada anak yang jarang dipeluk).

6. Pandanglah anak anda dengan pandangan kasih sayang (Pandangan ini akan membuatkan anak anda lebih yakin diri apabila berhadapan dengan persekitaran).

7. Berikan peneguhan setiap kali anak anda berbuat kebaikan (Berilah pujian, pelukkan, ciuman, hadiah ataupun sekurang-kurangnya senyuman untuk setiap kebaikan yang dilakukannya).

8. Janganlah mengharapkan anak anda yang belum matang itu melakukan sesuatu perbuatan baik secara berterusan, mereka hanya kanak-kanak yang sedang berkembang. Perkembangan mereka buatkan mereka ingin mengalami setiap perkaratermasuklah berbuat silap.
