Siape kentut???

Semalam sewaktu aku tengah mengajar Sources of energy dalam kelas 1S2, tiba-tiba..."wei busuknyo, sape kentut nih??? ", jerit Syikin sambil menutup hidung. Pelajar-pelajar yang lain serentak menutup hidung...Kelas jadi kecoh seketika sambil masing-masing menuduh antara satu sama lain, siapakah yang mengeluarkan gas berbau busuk itu ...Masing -masing tidak mahu mengaku...Ni peluang baik untuk selingan nih, maka aku pun mengeluarakan handset dan mula membaca..."Dengar, dengar semua...",aku bersuara.

Kategori-kategori orang :

1- tak jujur = orang yang kentut tapi salahkan orang lain.
2- bengong = orang yang tahan kentut berjam-jam
3- yakin diri = orang yang kentut dengan lantang
4- sadis = orang yang kentut dalam selimut lalu dikibaskan baunya
5- strategik = orang yang sembunyikan bunyi kentut dengan ketawa kuat-kuat
6- misterius = orang yang kentut tapi tak dapat dikesan
7- gugup = tiba-tiba kentut apabila disergah
8- periang = kentut pelan-pelan pastu senyum sorang-sorang

ha! senyum sorang-sorang ni.., kentut yea.

What is a good teacher?

A good teacher knows her students on many levels. She learns all she can about their academic strengths and needs, but even more about their interests, fears, hopes, and worries. She helps her students learn these things about themselves. She helps her students to learn some of these things about each other, especially the strengths and hopes!.
*******
A good teacher helps her students to develop, achieve, and maintain strong self-esteem. She helps each student feel they are special, unique, and very, very wonderful. She looks beneath a defeated, sassy, comedic, defiant, weird, or compliant attitude to find the “real” person inside the behavior. She understands and accepts every child’s need to try on a variety of identities – and doesn’t allow clothes, hair, or other eccentricities to get in the way. She sees diversity as an enhancing “spice” in the classroom and welcomes differences as a way to expand each class member’s world. .
*******
A good teacher makes learning exciting. She helps each student find areas of interest to explore and master. She helps her students see that goals which are at first difficult may eventually become easy, and are often the most satisfying to achieve. She helps her students to see new things as stimulating challenges rather than dreaded obstacles. She shows them that perfection is not only unrealistic, but undesirable as well.*******

A good teacher allows her students to see and get to know her real self. Rather than hiding within her role, or maintaining an adult distance, she lets her hopes, dreams, fears, and vulnerabilities show (when appropriate, of course) and lets her students in. If students see their teacher as a person willing to be open and honest, they will be much more likely to be open and honest with her. She makes herself available to her students, both her attention and her time.*******
A good teacher remembers that each of her students is somebody’s precious child. She knows that every parent has high hopes, valid concerns, and great expectations for that child. She works to help the parents understand her goals, become comfortable with her style, and to develop their confidence. She sees parents as an integral and vital part of the child’s education – not intrusive, annoying impediments. She recognizes how much influence she has in a child’s life – and how difficult it can be for a parent to trust their child to her. . ********

A good teacher tries to see things through her students’ eyes as well as her own. She works hard to be fair, empathetic, and encouraging. She strives to maintain high expectations for each and every child – to challenge them to reach for their best and aim for the stars. She is strong, firm, and determined. She shows her students that learning and doing one’s best are the goals and that grades are not..*******

A good teacher is not afraid to try new things, to look a little silly, to show a little sadness, to be a little angry, to get mighty excited, or to act really happy. She’s not afraid to play with her students. She’s not afraid to say she’s made a mistake, to apologize, or to change her mind. She’s not afraid to bend a rule or to make a new rule. She’s not afraid to have standards, values, and manners – and to help her students see why those things are important and why they should have them themselves, as well as why they must live up to hers.*******
