It's a full day madness

I dislike the bouts of almost breakdowns or jumpiness that comes with pressure, especially from work. But I also opine that it helps to push me, helping me break barriers which I never thought were possible.

Reading this in the midst of my morning madness saddens me a little. Get your acts together and stop finding excuses already. You can't be pampered so much and expect the new generation to follow you because of your fear to change - sadly for the better. For every vision conceived, we're taking one baby step forward. But with the digression, we're falling two steps behind.

TAIPING: Some Malay teachers in Bagan Serai are “going mad” as they cannot handle (what does this spell to you?) teaching Mathematics and Science subjects in English, claimed a state assemblyman.

Dr Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah (Titi Serong) said the teachers themselves had to take English classes to improve their command of English.

While they are still grappling with the language, they are required to teach their students as well, said Khalil, who was chairman of the Perak Backbenchers Club in the former Pakatan Rakyat-led state government.

“The teachers themselves have a poor command of English (the root of the problem is already stated, what are the actions then?). How do we expect them to teach their students?” (By putting more effort to brush up the language then?)he asked in his speech after a briefing on the subject at the state PAS headquarters in Jalan Air Kuning on Tuesday.

Some teachers, he said, “have simply gone crazy” because of this, likening the matter to the blind leading the blind (Hence we need more effort. More willingness to accept changes). He claimed the minimum passing mark for both subjects were lowered to ensure that only a rosy picture was painted (Don't do it. Accept that changes do not take place so fast. Getting minimal marks doesn't matter. Learn from the mistake and better oneself) of the move.

Earlier, the gathering was told by Malaysian Translators Association president Associate Prof Abdullah Hassan that a big gathering is scheduled to be held in front of Istana Negara at 2pm on March 7 to protest against the teaching of Mathematics and Science in English.

Prof Abdullah said the argument that the usage of English would provide better job opportunities could only hold water if there were plenty of job openings. (Passing the blame again. Think further, please. English is a world language. Why limit yourself when you have the chance to experience more?)
