A Working holiday

now that's an oxymoron isnt it? how can you have a working holiday? if you're a teacher, you're used to it as the JPN people envy the teachers for getting a lot of holidays, so they have to be party poopers and spoil our parr-tay. what on earth are you talking about? you may ask.

bundles and bundles of exam scripts to be marked, that's what i'm talking about!

yes, we have to slave through our holidays to finish marking, just because the JPN people want the marks to be submitted on a certain date, usually during the holidays! well, isnt that just nice? and what do the JPN people do? sit on their chairs, dabble here and there for awhile, then go to some kedai kopi.

and what about us the teachers?

we have to come to school before a certain time. now, the latecomers get to have the prefects take down our names (like we're some students to be degraded like that). then we have to teach. we have to manage the class of more than 30 students. mind you, if you get a very obedient class you're lucky. then we have to mark the exercises. we have to give homework. we cant go out to some kedai kopi, we have to eat at the school canteen. we're sent to some courses, usually done by JPN at some crappy hotels. we ve to become camp facilitators at the very last minute, due to very late call letters.guess where do they come from?

and yet we're still underpaid, and yet it takes more than 10 years for a DG41 teacher to be promoted to DG44, never mind that some of us have more brains than those who sit in those comfy chairs.

now if you'll excuse me i've to shop to relieve the stress.

Nyahahahaha!

I understand your feeling teacher.
So,a few option I will provide for you teacher.

First,
how about a few complain?
Yup, to those who is:
1.sitting in a comfy chair
2.drinking coffee at cafe
3.ordering people around
4.higher rank

Second,
how about asking the school to:
1.Make a super comfy chair exclusively for teachers!
2.Create a luxury cafe beside the canteen~
3.Rent some servant for teachers~
4.Promote teachers to be higher rank~

Third,
Take a hostage and try to force them to make teacher to be a JPN also! =p

Fourth,
Quit being a teacher, maybe farmer or seller also good. =p

Fifth,
Bribe those people. =p

Sixth,
Murder those people. =p

Lastly...
DO NOTHING and try to endure,becoming a much more better teacher and until everyone respect, love, remembered...

I know it is the hardest option...
but I also know that most of the teachers always try their best to make that option comes true...

And,
I always support the teacher that teach their student with a kind/warm heart and coming from it(IKHLAS).

So teacher,
GOOD LUCK!

P/S : Oh teacher also can choose the second option woo... don't forget for the student also~ ahahah~
