Due to your endless complaints about the school programmes (since my day in Almanar), I worry that your class will be put into halt. Since you still have that eight princesses, I believe you are grinning from ear to ear! <br /><br />The story of your girl flashes the story of mine. I still remember I didn't know the word 'steal' when I was in Form 1. Don't worry,Pakcik.. These girls will succeed in their lives. Success doesnt always come from brilliant brain, but one's will and spirit. <br />May Allah bless you with your health and beautiful life, Pakcik. <br /><br />-IdoraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-22849560035837610082014-02-21T22:50:53.775+08:002014-02-21T22:50:53.775+08:00AK,

Kongsilah pengalaman Puan dengan kami dengan teguran yang membina. kalau orang tertentu dan berkenaan tak ingin dengar biarlah kebodohan mereka ditertawakan saja, hungga satu masa samapi juga ketelinga mereka dengan berkesan. PBS ini satu tauladan. Akhirnya terpaksa juga mengalah - berundur kebelakang dan berhati hati. Suara rakyat diperdengarkan dengan hormat dan adat patut menjadi amalan kita yang menganuti ugama agong.<br /><br />Project - SmarTop amat mulia. Pertahankan dan perkuatkan. Saya pun ingin membuat begitu dengan Almanar. Rome was not built in one day. Take a challenge and show that we do not simply sit/run around shouting without.

My grandsons of your son's age have been encouraged to improve their English to understand books on these subjects in English. One very helpful way is to select books used for GCE syllabus. GCE syllabus treat the subjects differently, with greater emphasis on 'why' and 'how' questions. Email me if you need some detail on this. Otherwise your friends among teachers should be able to assist. <br /><br />Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-83592973562931432362014-02-18T18:23:52.140+08:002014-02-18T18:23:52.140+08:00Hank,

Amanah kita letak pada pemimpin, pembuat dan pelaksana dasar. Dari pengalaman saya di Kementerian, banyak dasar yang dibuat dengan tergesa-gesa kerana kepentingan politik. Tegoran yang tidak selari dengan kehendak mereka yang berkepentingan akan dipinggirkan. Bukan ideanya sahaja yang dipinggirkan tetapi yang membuka idea juga dipinggir-jauhkan.<br /><br />Terlalu banyak yang hendak saya kongsikan tetapi entah bila entah bagaimana saya boleh lakukan. Maka saya mengambil tindakan yang saya fikir suatu yang menepati apa yang Allah benar-benar tuntut.Projek SmarTop saya kecil tetapi saya yakin ia berasaskan Ilmu Yang Benar.Tidak perlu world class kerana siapa yang mendefinasikan world class itu.<br />Semoga kita dapat bertemu untuk bercerita lanjut dan berbuat sesuatu yang membina demi kesejahteraan ummah seperti An Nisa 55.

May you be blessed with strength, inner and physical, in these days of uncertainties in various fields. I have heard of the drawbacks of the PBS which far outweigh the benefits, to a country like ours with certain inadequacies. I believe the intention of such a system is good. The weakness perhaps is in the implementation. However, I am not in the teaching fraternity thus I do not really know the exact situation. As to your mention of young orphans etc, I know of a similar child in the vicinity of my abode. This boy stays with a grandmother in a dilapidated house on an 'island' in the middle of padi fields. He is in primary six. To my joy I found him intelligent (good in maths and English), hardworking, knows quite a bit about general knowledge and draws rather well. I have high hopes for him, always instilling in him the need to study hard so that he can be a Muslim professional and able to help his family (and others). I know the rewards you have from the success of your students Sir, the eternal beauty of kind deeds. All the best.Malay Muslimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-40526505876081841202014-02-18T10:25:22.441+08:002014-02-18T10:25:22.441+08:00Asm.

After watching the Monsoon tentatively, in case, my Cukai sis kena angkut lori lagi - I believe I can, maybe, barring health issues, travel up Kuala Trengganu soon.<br />am so glad you are finally giving the PBS and PPPM 2013 - 1025 a glance and `fine tooth-comb' hopefully for the RM 20 million we paid for.<br />The Indian english teachers are already here. I had a sampling on You Tube for my 4-yr old English Nursery Rhymes. If it is any indication, we will soon be having students of Sekolah Rendah speaking English with the `Asian' Italian lilt. I was even shocked when U for `umbrella' was spelt `umbrailla' and `vegetables' was pronounced `vege - tabals', (sigh). <br />I told my son lets' make tons of $ so the pther two can go International School. <br />I highlighted the KSSR shortcoming at a recent PIBG meet. The slow and lousy crony YTL-band aside, the school admitted to its uselessness BUt since its's GOMEN there was nothing to be said just `selengara'.I regret my plan got scuttled and the major damages of the unexpected floods last december, 2013 already scared the daylights out of land-lubber me.<br />Please do carry on and do not be disheartened - miracles come in small doses.<br />I doakan AlManar will be there standing for decades to come, for all the needy and weak students.<br />Take care, wassalamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880947759208711377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-55146833546114113022014-02-18T08:45:59.757+08:002014-02-18T08:45:59.757+08:00Assalamualaikum Pakcik,

Judging from FB comments after allowing for short forms to disguise their deficiency it'll be a long way to go. Of course everyone will get through with no exams. Now the burden is transferred to the teachers who would have to really work all the time in correcting class work.<br /><br />Hankkaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.com
