Kerapuhan Dasar Pendidikan

Begitu banyak isu berkenaan dengan remaja dan pendidikan dikemukakan dan diperbincangkan dalam pelbagai media.
1. Isu PPSMI
2.Isu Mat Rempit hendak ditukarkan nama kepada Samseng Jalan Raya
3. Isu bilangan mata pelajaran yang boleh diambil dalam peperiksaan SPM

Sebelum sesuatu dasar berkenaan pendidikan atau apa-apa sahaja dasar yang ingin dilaksanakan akan dikaji dengan teliti, barulah dilaksanakan. Bukan daripada bukti kajian yang dibuat cukup dan kukuh menjadi asas kepda sesuatu dasar diimplemen seperti dasar pendidikan.
Mengapa perlu dilaksanakan untuk satu jangka waktu, baru mendapati bahawa sebenarnya dasar itu mendatangkan implikasi yang pelbagai seperti Pensijilan Terbuka pada tahun 2000

PENSIJILAN TERBUKA – SPM 2000

  • Para pengguna keputusan SPM tidak memerlukan maklumat tentang pangkat sijil, sebaliknya memberikan tumpuan kepada pencapaian kelompok-kelompok mata pelajaran yang releven mengikut keperluan khusus pengguna
  • Pensijilan terbuka sepenuhnya akan diberikan kepada pelajar asalkan lulus mana-mana satu mata pelajaran
  • Pensijilan terbuka bersyarat akan diberikan dengan syarat kelulusan tertentu (atas sebab-sebab dasar dan sebagainya)
  • Pensijilan atas merit mata pelajaran dan bukannya kerana syarat kelompok mata pelajaran
  • Tidak memeringkatkan pelajar dalam penganugerahan sijil

PRINSIP PENSIJILAN TERBUKA SPM 2000

  • Memenuhi hasrat dan selaras dengan kehendak dasar kurikulum dan pendidikan kebangsaan
  • Mengekalkan pengiktirafan sijil sama ada dalam atau luar negeri
  • Mengekalkan standard (benchmark) mata pelajaran
  • Keterbukaan dan fleksibal
  • Mata pelajaran tidak dikelompokkan dalam kumpulan-kumpulan elektif
  • Mata pelajaran SPMV kini akan diletakkan di bawah satu senarai skema SPM
  • Senarai dan kod mata pelajaran SPM dan SPMV masa kini akan dikekalkan

PERATURAN PEPERIKSAAN

  • Pengendalian peperiksaan masa kini akan dikekalkan
  • Syarat layak mengambil peperiksaan dikekalkan
  • Kaedah memperbaiki keputusan mata pelajaran tertentu secara 'patching' yang mula dilaksanakan dalam peperiksaan SPM (Julai) 1998 akan diteruskan dengan syarat menduduki dan memenuhi syarat pensijilan kali yang pertama, atau dengan mengulang peperiksaan semula
Apakah rasional dan prinsip dalam pelaksanaan dasar ini?
Sebenarnya, kalau benar-benar sesuatu dasar pendidikan itu hendak dilaksanakan, lakukanlah dengan penyelidikan dan melibatkan guru-guru(mendapatkan maklumat dan pandangan daripada guru-guru berkenaan dengan sesuatu dasar itu)kerana merekalah yang paling rapat dan mengetahui situasi dan masalah yang dihadapi oleh sekolah.
Kalau didapati sesuatu dasar itu tidak perlu dilaksanakan, jadi tidak perlu dilaksanakan kerana mungkin kebanyakan sekolah di negara kita belum bersedia dengan perubahan yang akan dilaksanakan. Dasar pendidikan kita terlalu banyak, kejap ini kejap itu. Walaupun perubahan bertujuan membawa kebaikan, adakah sekolah kita, guru kita, sistem pendidikan, pelajar kita, ibu bapa kita sudah bersedia?
JURANG perbezaan antara sekolah di negara kita masih begitu besar. Masalah DISIPLIN pelajar makin merosot dan membimbangkan.
Sepatutnya perkara-perkara di atas harus ditangani dahulu? Betul tak?

Budaya Mencarut

Hari ini, datang seorang pakcik berumur 73 tahun dengan penyakit kulit yang serius. Oleh sebab kulitnya sangat gatal, dia tak berhenti-henti menggarunya sambil menjerit dan mencarut. Rasanya semua orang memang tahu mencarut cuma sama ada kita melakukannya atau tidak.
Mencarut bukan sahaja dengan mulut sahaja dengan bahasa isyarat pun kita boleh dikatakan mencarut.
Terkejut mendengar pakcik ini mencarut dalam bahasa Hokkien(pakcik Melayu). Dari mana pakcik ini belajar? Dari tv ke? Tapi, tak pernah pun tv mencarut, kalau ada pun disensor.
Apa boleh buat, kat Parlimen pun Menteri dan Wakil Rakyat pun kuat mencarut.
Bukankah pada tahun 1983 kempen Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan dilancarkan?

My Favourite Song

Through The Years by Kenny Rogers


I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the year, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear youv'e taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... through the years
Its better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... through the years
I never had a doubt, wed always work things out
I've learned what loves about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years!

It's playing on TV, the snippet

Never Says NO

It's hard to say No to someone who is close to us. Although we are busy, stress and don't want to get involve in other things that are not our priority. Somehow, I am doing all that because I don't to have any conflicts in the family members. I try to do whatever I can do satisfied everyone, but then again you can make everyone happy.
Learning to say No is too difficult to me. That's why a lot of people keep telling me that I have to say NO.

No to my friends
No to my colleagues
No to my siblings
No to my superior

I like to help people if I have the ability to do so, but sometimes I don't have the time to that or when that's not as important as what I have to do right now.
Haven't be able to say NO has giving me a lot of problems and troubles. Back to square one like always.

Psoriasis Triggers

There is a man who was warded around my father at the hospital. The first thing he said to father was "uncle, you are so lucky, how come they warded you? I have to make complained till the Department Head only they admitted me". Then, this man in his 40th start to talk a lot about himself. He said he didn't have much education, he only studied for 3 years then started to work. He is a cook for many years, till recently because of his skin problems that he can work anymore, people feel scare seeing his lesion skin. He is having psoriasis

He said I am tell you the truth, although I am not educated but I know what is right and wrong, what a person can or cannot do. Then he said, one day he caught his wife with a man in the bed. The man hit him on the head. He said he has all the proof, CCTV, photos and his twins( 10 years old girl) were there too. Because of that, his has the skin problems.

Yesterday, his wife visited him. I heard from my father that we quarreled and the man told his wife to be ready as she will be jailed for what she did. The wife wants the custody of the twins and pleaded to the husband not to fight for that.

After that, the man didn't say anything. He kept quiet for a long time. Don't how they are going to solve this problems involving the chidlren. Another broken family.

Kepentingan Kosa Kata

Penguasaan kosa kata yang luas amat penting untuk menjamin pelajar dapat menulis dengan baik. Apabila sesuatu tajuk karangan mempunyai perkataan atau kosa kata yang kurang biasa digunakan, maka pelajar akan menghadapi masalah mengetahui maksud atau kehendak tajuk.

Kosa kata ini kadang-kadang menyebabkan pelajar tidak berani menulis tajuk yang sebenarnya mudah tetapi nampak seperti susah disebabkan kosa kata yang digunakan kurang difahami oleh pelajar-pelajar bukan Melayu. Mereka mengetahui maksudnya dalam bahasa Cina tetapi tidak tahu kosa katanya dalam bahasa Melayu

Antaranya seperti :
sumbang mahram/muhrim
mat rempit
Rakan Muda
Wawasan
pembasmian -- kalau guna kosa kata menghapuskan(pelajar lebih memahami)
gigolo -- kalau gunakan kosa kata bapa ayam mungkin mereka memahaminya
memboloskan diri --melarikan diri

Knowing How I Feel

Sometimes, some people claimed that they know how you feel and what you have been through and you are busy. They even asking others not to bother you because you are busy and you have important things in hands that needed your full attention.

In the other hand, he or she asking you for help knowing very well your situation. I was puzzled. What? Make no sense at all, right?

Sometimes, or many times, we just knowing but not doing what we know!

Been a week, can't sleep. Only 3 hours the most in a day. Think too much? Worry to much? Tension? Stress?

What Would You Do?


If one day, someone told you that one of your family members' life will come to the END next year. What would you do? Do you tell him or her? Do you not tell him or her? How do you feel? Accept it and life goes on? Prays? Trying to get helps? If it is fate, can we change fate?

100-Posts : Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris after all

Well, today I went to hospital with my father. After two months of tests and treatment, finally, it is PRP after all. Brought along my laptop to show the Dermatologist photos that I took. So, now father is warded.

The nurses in the ward are very friendly and treated my father very well. Explained to him nicely and patiently, and the nurse Nor hayati (her name) did some drawing on the cover of the cream, so that my father knows which to use for what or which parts of the body.

Good Practice - Responsible Customer

Went shopping with one of the auntie today, she was looking for cereal. I showed her where the cereal is. She took few packs and one of the pack fell down and broke. Automatically and quickly, I said it is okay. I put the broke one back on the shelves and gave her a new one.

But, when we are at the counter to pay for the things that we intended to buy. I saw the broken packet of cereal, the auntie told me that she has to pay for it. It is her responsibility to pay for what had happened just now.

Thinking of that, I feel that she is a very responsible customer and it is a good practice to embrace. If only, all of us responsible for what we did, be able to admit and take the responsibility.

13.5.09 Unlucky Number and Unlucky Day

513


Unlucky Number

Well, many people in Asian feel that 13 is a unlucky number. Don't know how true it is. In Malaysia, the incident happened back in 1969 made the government declared state of national emergency and suspending Parliament until 1971. In Malay, it is called Perisitiwa Hitam 13 Mei 1969 was truly a traumatic experience for older Malaysian.



Unlucky Day
Today, I took 2 of my aunts to hospital for mammogram. We went to Radiology, a man called Sukri asked us to make payment first, we have to go to the Emergency Department to do that as the clerk at Radiology was on MC. So, we made the payment and then back to the Radiology Department preparing for the mammogram. Later, we were told that the mammogram machine was broke down. We were asked to go back to Emergency Department to get our refund. What a dissapointment, 2 of my aunts came all the way just to have their mammogram test done, have to go back empty handed and dissapointed after travelling for over 100km. What a unlucky day for us.
