Dihalang ambil UPSR
Oleh Mohamad Hussin mohamad@hmetro.com.myGURUN: “Saya sangat sedih apabila guru mengatakan pada anak saya buat kotor kertas peperikaaan saja sekiranya anak saya mengambil peperiksaan Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), baru-baru ini.
“Saya tahu anak saya kurang cerdik, tetapi janganlah dia cakap macam itu. Lebih kecewa guru terbabit kata kalau tak datang satu hari peperiksaan, tidak payah datang langsung,” kata Rohani Ahmad, 45, ibu kepada Mohd Khairul Anuar Md Isa, 12, yang mendakwa anaknya takut ke sekolah kerana ‘fobia’ dengan kata-kata guru Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Paya Mengkuang, kelmarin.
Rohani berkata, dia kesal dengan tindakan pihak sekolah kerana cuba mempermainkan anaknya sehingga dia takut untuk ke sekolah.
“Beberapa hari sebelum menduduki peperiksaan UPSR Selasa lalu, Mohd Khairul ada cakap dengan saya seorang guru bagi tahu supaya tidak perlu datang ke sekolah.
“Dia takut untuk ke sekolah pada hari pertama peperiksaan kerana gurunya pesan supaya jangan datang kerana buat kotor kertas peperiksaan saja.“Hari kedua saya cuba pujuk dia lagi, tetapi Mohd Khairul tetap berkeras tidak mahu ke sekolah kerana takut dengan guru sekolah,” katanya yang ditemui di rumahnya di Kampung Paya Mengkuang, semalam.Katanya, pada hari kedua peperiksaan itu, suaminya Md Isa Ahmad, 52, turut menghantar anaknya ke sekolah berkenaan, tetapi sebaik tiba di hadapan pintu sekolah anaknya tidak mahu masuk dan berkeras mahu balik ke rumah.“Saya sedih sangat sebab anak saya diperlakukan demikian...walaupun dia kurang cerdik, tetapi berilah dia peluang untuk mengambil peperiksaan ini.“Saya memang tidak berpuas hati dengan pengurusan sekolah. Sepatutnya pihak sekolah menghubungi waris sekiranya terdapat murid mereka yang gagal hadir bagi menduduki peperiksaan UPSR,” katanya yang bekerja sebagai operator pengeluaran di sebuah kilang plastik.Sementara itu, Guru Besar SK Paya Mengkuang, Hasnah Hussin yang berada di rumah keluarga Mohd Khairul memohon maaf dan menganggap kejadian itu salah faham.“Saya merayu supaya perkara ini tidak dipanjangkan kerana ia berlaku akibat salah faham. Sudah menjadi kelaziman kepada guru sekolah untuk mengingatkan murid mereka supaya menghadiri kertas peperiksaan UPSR. “Mungkin guru itu cuma melawak saja, tetapi Mohd Khairul menganggap perkara itu serius."“Ia sebagai peringatan kepada semua murid supaya jangan ponteng pada hari peperiksaan nanti. Saya mohon maaf kerana salah faham itu.“Bagi pihak sekolah juga kami berusaha untuk merujuk Mohd Khairul ke sekolah khas,” katanya.--------
Why do they do that? Why demean his integrity? Why kill his spirit?
Because he's stupid thus hes hopeless? Because he's a speck in the hall tainting his own answer sheets? Who are they to decide his future unworthy? Who are they to say he's stupid? Who are they to tell him he's worthless?
His Teachers. A TEACHER.
For the love of god, hes only 12. 12. and already they're telling him hes not worth of even trying? I don't know what other feels reading this yesterday but it shaded my conscience of the community i'm living in today. We talk of innovation, preservation and humanity for future generation yet we kill the intelligence behind tomorrows prospect. or maybe the innovation and preservation we're deciding on does not concludes those with the iQ below than 50 and poorer?
And oh, they're sorry?? "Mungkin guru itu cuma melawak saja, tetapi Mohd Khairul menganggap perkara itu serius."?!! Hell to you. How should he to know his teacher was joking. and a too cruel and extremely synical to be a statement. Mohd Khairul digested so. When did synical teasing became a tool in effective education. Is that what's replacing rotans and detention? Maybe cause the teaching responsibility today grew to be more than a b cs. Maybe they had too much and decided that those damn kids don't deserve the patience.
But that doesn't give them the right to kill his confidence. the same as you kill a person. TEACHERS they call themselves but they KILLED a kid. That kid is even scared to set foot to school. How would you think hed live from now on? How does his education goes? Physical injuries heals and vanish, but what scarred doesnt. It could take forever for him to redeem himself his own lost faith. God. Dont his teachers know how every human is made of flesh, brain and emotion? He lived only for a 12 damn years to be told he's worthless. Curse those grown ups. Damn those teachers.
I'm not a mother,nor do i have much interaction with kids around me but as far as i see it, kids are kids until theyre able to know whats right and wrong, whether to take or to leave. They see things through our eyes until then. and having said ours are people much older than them, adults. They listen to us untill they're petty enough to deny and storm off at our commands. We tell them don't, never and do. Not they're insignificant and stupid.
Hes only 12. For all we know, he might be stupid now and to him 2+2 don't add up to 4. But thats just how everybody started. Hopefully, and personally, i strongly hope that hed grew up to be someone great and powerful. Be then he'd come back and tell off those teachers and buys their lifes' off. I hope he does.
