rambles..

Today is the perhimpunan bulanan.and i still think that the best assembly was the one organized by the Commerce Dept.they managed to lighten up the mood.that's why i think i think it was the best perhimpunan so far.well, today is just an ordinary perhimpunan.with some points to cheer on. i love perhimpunan, because you get to meet many people.
some points mentioned by the TP interests me. First is about the opportunity to further study.Secondly, he mentioned about how much politeknik resembles sekolah menengah.and how we should help to change the perception.
Iam really interested about doing an action research that will contribute to the betterment of PNP in general.i think, as a teacher or academician,it comes naturally.you planned your PNP everday,and see how much of the strategies you use are applicable in the teaching process.Teachers are creative people because they are dealing with everchanging subject-the students. When i start teaching, i am stimulated by the challenge of knowing what to do in various situation,knowing how to act and predicting whatever consequences from the action taken.My interest is more to educational psychology-because when you know what you're dealing with, it makes everything less alarming.
When the TP mentioned about the fact that people actually confused politeknik and sekolah menengah,i got answer ready in my head. It was in the establishment.We are treating ourselves and the students like we are in sekolah menengah.We hardly give them a fair chance to prove their values.we controlled everything including their exam grades.We treat them like they are school children. Of course, some disciplines, we cant but must internalize but it shouldnt be in a way akin to that of sekolah menengah.After all, the students are big enough to try to control everything.But probably, we think that we know best.and that we can handle everything by grilling all of the values inside their head.what about the human aspects?what about being more liberal and try any other method?but again it is up to individual.we couldnt possibly ask anybody to think about it the way we think it. So, guess we must do our part of the deeds and other people to theirs.
when i first came here, i was inspired by one very creative person. I like the way he looked at things, and like the way he handled his students. Full of wisdom.and i am still inspired by that until now. i hope i can be as good as him.
the best thing about him, is that he doesnt try to be like other people.He is such a natural, such an original person.he didint drill, or grill, or talk bad.just give a straightforward feedback.and i cant resist that quality.very appealing.
when i discussed him with my friend, she seemed to be not interested.so i keep quiet,keeping my awe as my motivation to be a better teacher.he is one of a kind.which will mean a terrible lost to the education system if he ever think of quitting.
i am such a sucker for kindness and wisdom.but there are times that i forgot my aim-to do what i can to be the "improvement"-and not be tired doing it.Definitely, there are a lot of things to learn.
for instance-grammar..huhu(i seriously think that i need revision on this particular aspect-it sucks!)
