k la..Mae fong is my lecturer..must hi her 1st..then only..holla people!!! wakaka..
(ok seriously, this is kinda a post for my assignment, so don bother to read if u r not interested in this preschool thingee... =p)
ok, to be very honest to Mae Fong, today is the due date of this blog thingee. but seriously n honestly, i couldnt think of anythin interesting to be blogged ere..but FINALLY..ahahaha..after referring back to the study guide that u have given..yeah!! could think of sumthin!!! wakaka...
The thinking started from the conversation with Jacklyn today when we were stucked in this super jam kajang. huh. =.=" Jacklyn was telling me about the pressure and stress she has got from her kindergarten.
well..when she told me about this, i felt the same kind of feelings that she has. THe experience of working in kindy last time.
Well..it s not about the kids. The kids are cute, they are innocent. It s about the principal, and the parents, n about myself.
Sometimes i jz feel sick of them when they just loveee to give pressure to the children. For them, learning is about homework. n homework, worksheets, textbooks, alot of exercise books, are the only ways to learning.
N bcoz of their own beliefssss, i m being pushed. The pressure and the stress, came from the center of my heart.
When Cony rosaline n doreen (my last time lecturers) keep telling me in the class to encourage PLAY n implement learning thru play in the classroom, don give worksheets, evidences from the theorists, well, it s all useless. Bcoz...im nt the boss. =.=" Im working for people, i m not in the plce to say i donwan to giv worksheets, bcoz if i do so, i ll be reprimanded n worxst, fired. =p
well...worksheets..worksheets..worksheets...
owh..pening pening........=.="
well..i don blame those parents who have no knowledge on this, but even my principal, who has got this diploma from UM, she is like. haih. inappropriate!!!inappropriate!!!only go for money!!serve parents as customers but not the children!! Parents-centered!! wah!!!!
Perhaps for her, getting the diploma is jz another pathway for her t oearn more money. Everytime parents ask for more hw, then she ll ask us to give more hw. LIke..if don giv hw...means it s not doing our job. wei! u think wut!! im not a homework giver ok!!!!!
WEll, y do we needa give homework!!! research has proven that worksheets has got no effect on children's learning until primary!!!!!!!!
but...how to blame them?? when children go to attend primary school, they will be shoot with A LOT N ALOT N ALOT of homeworks even!!!!!!!!!1if we don start at preschool, how children gonna survive??? but but...but!!!! how to open up chn's mind jz by giving worksheetS?? they cannot be creative!! (like me), they are not trained in their living skills!!! (jz like me oso=p) they cannot think out of the box!! (jz like any malaysian who has gone thru Malaysia Education SYstem.)
well, so sorry to say. i havge gone thru it. n now, children are still, n keep going on, victimized. =p
haih. conflict conflict. when i worked tat time, i always feel that im not doing the right thing. When the children cannot finish their hw, i needa cut down those fun time like singing time, jz to sk them to complete the worksheets 1st. SOmehow..feel myself relli stupid. i became a homework giver. though we still have art n craft time, got this waater play time, but...it s all about...like a performance. Art n craft must b nice work....etc etc.
I noe it s not their fault for not doing it, or for those weaker ones, it s not their fault of not knowing how to do. It s my fault. Im not providing the right thing for them. n after 5months of keep doing the wrong thing..i surrendered. SOmetimes when i c those teachers in the kindy shouting at the children like crazy type, i relli c them as..nut. bcoz.....haih. i oso dono la. it s jz about conflict. it s about the whole system.
where has gone wrong? whos gonna fix it? when r we going to have like GOOD preschool education like other countries?
well, the mindset of everybody, i have no idea how to chg it.
The WHOLE education system that is so academic-based, wanna chg? not relli so ambitious.
y we like to be copy cat, but not in education?
pls la m'sians, open up ur mind, n ur eyes.
Education, is not jz about workshits ok. i mean, worksheets. =p
