KEM KEPIPIMNAN PENGAWAS SMK K*** ****I 2009.


RABU, 22 Julai 2009.

Angin dah bertiup, berita dah terdengar, Sabtu ni aku kena bekerja lagi. Bukan setakat setengah hari malah bermula hari Jumaat malam sampai hari Ahad tengahari. Wow!!! Lama tu. Dah la aku dah ada plan. Aku nak menghadiri satu kursus di UTM tapi dah ada kerja pulak nak kena buat. Bagi aku, ini memang tak adil kerana ini minggu ke-tiga aku kena bekerja dan yang paling best kali ni aku kena kerja sampai hari Ahad. Senang cerita 7 hari seminggu. Jauh di lubuk hati, aku memberontak dengan pengurusan pengawas sekolah. Notis yang sangat pendek diberikan sehingga membuatkan aku melenting memikirkan program peribadi yang telah aku rancangkan lebih dari sebulan yang lalu.

KHAMIS, 23 Julai 2009

Hati masih lagi bungkam. Mahu tidaknya, program peribadi yang aku rancang seperti harus dibatalkan hanya kerana membantu orang lain melaksanakan tanggungjawab mereka. Aku bukan guru pengawas. Malah aku bukannya kenal sangat pengawas sekolah. Untuk apa perlu aku turut serta dengan program yang aku rasa tak berkenaan dengan aku ini. Kemuncaknya apabila ketua guru pengawas mengeluarkan sebaris ayat, “Kalau cikgu2 rasa kerja nak relax, cikgu2 sambung Master lepas tu jadi lecturer.” Saat itu hati aku terguris pedih, sakit. Aku bukan sengaja tak mahu turut serta program ini tapi aku juga perlukan masa untuk diri aku sendiri dan aku telahpun merancang aktiviti aku sendiri. Cikgu tersebut pada aku,bercakap menggunakan pengetahuan yang singkat berkenaan kerjaya pendidikan di institusi pendidikan tingggi. Bukan mudah hari ini untuk menempatkan diri di institusi pendidikan tinggi awam apabila kita hanya mempunyai Ijazah di peringkat Sarjana. Ia memerlukan lebih dari itu. Di samping itu, perlukah pemegang ijazah Sarjana bekerja sebagai pensyarah? Tak bolehkah guru juga mempunyai ijazah sarjana?

Mesyuaratnya pula diadakan pada jam 1.10 tengahari selepas sesi pagi persekolahan sedangkan sebagai guru yang mengajar pada sesi petang, kebanyakan kami sudah pun memulakan sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Ini pastinya menyebabkan ramai yang gagal menghadiri mesyuarat tersebut. Dan yang paling menarik, itu lah satu2nya mensyuarat yang melibatkan seluruh warga kerja Kem Kepimpinan Pengawas SMK K*** ****i. Seperti biasa, selama aku berada di SMK K*** ****i, mesyuarat bukan mesyuarat tetapi lebih menyerupai taklimat di mana hanya pengerusi bercakap tanpa ada tindak balas daripada ahli-ahli mensyuarat yang lain. Mungkin terdapat kekangan yang terlepas dari pandangan aku untuk melaksanakan mesyuarat berbanding taklimat. Wallahualam. Pada mesyuarat itu sendiri maklumat tidak sepenuhnya disampaikan kerana banyak perkara masih belum dapat dipastikan. Akhirnya sewaktu keluar dari bilik mesyuarat, aku masih lagi terpinga-pinga tentang apa yang seharusnya aku lakukan sewaktu kem nanti. Ini membuatkan aku semakin berat hati untuk ke program tersebut kerana aku tidak tahu apa peranan aku dan terasa seperti aku bukan sebahagian daripada program tersebut.

JUMAAT, 24 Julai 2009

Memang hati aku berat, tapi aku sempat berfikir. Aku cikgu baru, tambahan pula aku akan menghadiri temuduga ke pelantikan ke jawatan tetap pegawai perkhidmatan pendidikan siswazah pada 6 Ogos ini dan pada temuduga itu aku akan diarahkan membawa bersama Laporan Sulit Urusan Temu Duga dan Borang Penyata Tatatertib yang sampulnya akan dimateri. Aku tak mahu mencacatkan laporan sulit itu.

.....akan bersambung nanti... tak tau bila

Tapi.....

Apa yang aku alami semasa kursus itu amat berharga dan aku tak menyesal mengorbankan rancangan aku yang telah dirancang lebih awal

~~BERTEMU dan kemudian MENDUGA

6 August 2009 is the date. I have no idea what the questions will be but I have asked a few friends regarding the interview. I have chosen the pathway that I would like to go through for the next 22 years. For that reasons, I really want to do my best and pass the interview successfully.

Interviews. I have attended many before. I couldn’t remember how many I have attended but at least 10 of them and they are not sufficient for me to be calm for this coming interview. I started to read newspaper every day since the last two weeks. I flip the newspaper and try to get as much information as I can to prepare myself for the interview. There are so many things that I have to be aware of especially those matters related to the education system in Malaysia. PPSMI, the changes that will be done to UPSR, importance of English language and unresolved issues such as bully, gangsterism and vandalism are some of the issues that I have to pay attention.

Teachers. Human who deliver information, the manager of classrooms, the chief of knowledge and a person who is expected to know every single thing by their students. That is my own definition of teachers. And that is also what I want to be with the name of teachers. For me a teacher should be knowledgeable and improves their selves from time to time in line with the developments of this globalisation era. The most important matter is, teachers are ordinary human beings just like others too. They are not noble although the profession is. Therefore, the community should not expect too much from teachers. We are doing our job based on our ability. As much as we can, we would like to produce 10000 of engineers, 10000 of doctors, 10000 of lecturers and millions more people who can contribute to their community, religion and nation. Owh.... hopefully it is not too much to be achieved.

SMK K*** M**A*

I was amazed on my first day. It is a huge school which I expected to have all the facilities as a school. No doubt, the school is beautiful and clean too. I was brought to the management office and met the clerks and few teachers. Based on my limited observation, the students were polite as the greeted the teachers whenever they met their teachers. The scenery obviously different compared to the situation in the higher learning institutions which I have worked before. So, it is the place which I will spend at least for another 2 years time.

I reported duty on the 13th April 2009, the day I met my housemates. It’s 4 of us in the house. We found the house when we reached our school. A teacher, Jid suggested the house. With RM380, it is a reasonable rate as the house is tiled and half furnished. There are few cabinets in the house and stove (the most important equipment) in the house. So, we agreed to rent the house. My housemates are all nice and of course they are pretty ladies except for me as I am short, dark and fat. Huhuhuhu... Anyway Kak Fizah, Leha and Zira... thank you for being very nice to me. Besides housemates, I met Hisham, another English teacher besides me and he graduated from UPM. An interesting fact about him is his minor. His minor is Pendidikan Islam which is very rare to have English teachers with Islamic Education as their minor. Another guy is Roshan who can be considered as my junior as he graduated from UTM too. He is a sport science teacher. Zamzarina and Shazrina, the other two teachers who are not staying with us are graduates from UPSI, the one and only education’s university in Malaysia. My housemates, two of them (Zira and Leha) were course mates and they graduated from UPSI too. So, there are 4 teachers from UPSI. The other one is Fizah, a graduate of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, SANJUNGAN BANGSA! She is an experienced teacher who has been teaching since 1998 in a primary school. Obviously she has a lot of experience which will be very beneficial to the students that she will be teaching. A bit about my friends.

Anyway, I have more friends in the school beside them. The best thing is I met my ex-course mate, Jihan. The MIA course mate. No one ever knows where she is and I found her in SMK Kota Masai. Huh!! We were so excited to meet each other. There were many gossips and untold stories that we shared on my second day in the school. When I told Farah, she was also eager to know more about Jihan. Another one is Hazreen, the Islamic Education’s teacher. When i looked at her face for the first time, I know that I have met her before. At the moment we talked to each other, I found out that she graduated from UTM, SANJUNGAN BANGSA too. But, the best thing is she was my class mate in my primary school. Another unexpected person that I met in the school is Zelin, a Mathematics teacher. She is actually my best friend’s school mate. Hehe... what a small world?
