SINCERITY IN EDUCATING OTHERS

in teacher's profession, it is very important to have sincerity in doing the job. 

Experience teaches us that those who are sincere in executing whatever small, 

seemingly insignificant tasks are entrusted with greater responsibilities. 

These are the individuals who are more likely to succeed and live fulfilling lives in the long run.

People

 in general feel comfortable dealing with 

sincere individuals.

 Employers seek to find 

sincere workers 

who maximize work-time and 

produce expected results; 

men and women seek to find 

sincere companions

 to share their lives with and to keep the spark of love burning for a lifetime; teachers feel more motivated and encouraged when students 

show sincerity 

in learning and participation in class; mothers untiringly nurture and care for their infants out of 

sincere love for them;

 and individuals constantly attempt to 

be sincere 

to their inner selves.

this shows how important for all of us to have the sincerity in ourselves.

it pays to be sincere.

GET TO KNOW YOUR STUDENTS

As teacher-to-be, i might not be surprise if most of us will be very stress in facing the students nowadays in future.

no one would know whether we will be accepted by the students and colleagues. one way to ease this uneasiness, we can try to cope with the students' style. 

there are factors that affect the style of learning of the students

which are:

age

personality

attitude

anxiety

teaching style

these factors should be paid more attention by the teachers to ensure that they do not use the wrong way of approaches.

in general, every class, need different kind of approaches based on the above factors.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION

Currently, there are so many parents who are not so interested in their child's education. 

they are so busy in getting promotion and bonuses. sometimes,there are parents who are actually 

do not have chances 

even to meet with their children. 

how to involved with the child's education 

if they do not even have time

 to meet them and 

spend some precious time with them?

these parents should realize that the children are really demanding 

attention from their parents especially when relating to their studies. 

how to get involved with the child's education???

JOIN THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

AND

BE PROACTIVE

PTA members can actually change the life of 

their child

 and

 they can also affect change in the lives of 

many other children. 

through the annual meeting, 

they can actually complaint about anything that associated with the schools or give suggestions to improve the current condition.

be proactive 

means that parents should not wait for the teacher to extend an invitation to them, soliciting their involvement.

 If possible, parents should take their child to school on the first day and

 have a short conversation with their 

child's teachers. 

It is important for teachers to know that the parents plan on being an essential part of their child's academic excellence.

OWH...IT SLIPPED FROM MY MIND AGAIN!!

Frequently, people tend to forget the things that they actually have learnt. 

some says that they tend to forget when they have no time to revise or they have a long gap between the time they actually learn the lesson and the examination.

that is why they use this excuse to study last minute as i they will remember the things that they have study the night before. 

there are some tips to help these people to remember things longer

• Process information as deeply as possible.
• Seek to connect new information with previous knowledge.
• Study in the same format as you will be tested in.
• Elaborate: put in effort, make the material meaningful, and rehearse new information.
• Avoid going off on tangents.
• For long term memory retention, space your reviews at regular intervals.

BULLIES...AGAIN!!!

i do not know actually what happened

 to the young generations nowadays. 

from their point of view,

 bullies are just some common  cases that will happen to anybody.

 i don't think

 this kind of mind set should gradually 

be in our young generations' minds. Some interesting data was collected from the some survey:

• Bullies divide classmates into two groups – those that receive affection and targets.
• Targets were people that didn’t count.
• Bullies cared only about getting approval from classmates of the same sex.
• Boys didn’t care what girls thought.
• Boys picked on classmates that peers did not like.
• Mean girls did not care about the opinions of male classmates.
• Girls seemed to approve of boys that bullied boys.
• Overweight children were often targets without regard to race, gender, socioeconomic status, or academic success.
• Bullies are not always social misfits.

this would be the time for all sides to start paying more attention to this problem. no one could actually guess what is the real effect of this problem in the future.

as a conclusion

MALE OR FEMALE???DOES IT REALLY MATTER??

There’s long been a debate as to whether or not female professors are treated differently,

 by their students, than male professors.

do you prefer this??

or

this??

 Nonetheless, it's clear that men and women have a different teaching experience in the classroom.

 At the college level, male professors are the norm and because of this male professors who act as society expects them to 

are seen as competent and as an authority figure.

On the other hand,

 female professors who act “feminine” 

are seen as less knowledgeable; 

however, if a female professor violates society’s expectations of 

what she is suppose to act like 

then that professor is unlikeable and seen as less nurturing.

So what’s a female professor to do? 

Not only do female professors have to be professional and knowledgeable, 

but students also expect them to be nurturing, understanding, and more supportive. Unfortunately, 

that means students expect female professors

 to excuse a student’s lack of responsibility in class.

 It also means that a student who is failing the class expects

 the female professor to give him/her a “break”

 and if the professors says no then she is a “bad” professor and immediately becomes unlikable.

what should we do???

this is the world that we live in..right???

YOU DON'T LIKE ME, TEACHER???

some students keep asking, why their teachers always scold them and punished them in classes.

They also keep wondering 
why it is always me being the one to get scold of.

did the teacher hate them so much and make them as their punching bag??

ACTUALLY,
there are always reasons why the teachers keep making you as their 'punching bag' for them in class.
there might be something wrong with you.

• You’ve made him angry with your actions or attitude
• He has personal issues and he is taking it out on you.

                                           or

Maybe he doesn’t hate you...?

This one is short and sweet. Have you thought of the possibility that he actually doesn’t hate you? Maybe he is a strict teacher with all his students, and you might be taking it personally? Look closely at the difference between a bad teacher and strict teacher. Some professors are just unpleasant people, and you’re just going to have to get used to their way of teaching.

WHY DON'T YOU DO IT NOW???

In this post, I would like to talk about something that always happen to everyone especially to the students. The thing that I am talking about right now is procrastination. Procrastination, based on this website, refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions or tasks with low-priority actions, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time. There are several reasons or cases for all to be delaying their important task no matter the reason is reasonable or not.

1. Fear of failure

The fear of failure can cause most of the procrastinators postpone their work especially when they need to try their best doing the tasks. This usually happens when the task is related to the important things such as assignments that carry mark to the final. They want their work to be perfect. However, they will procrastinate with excuses like they have to be really well prepared to ensure that their work will be well done. Finally, they will end up with two or three days before the due date of the submission of the assignment and they have anything but nothing.

2. Laziness

Laziness is a very common thing that happen to us even we are not procrastinators. Usually, procrastinators will use the excuse like telling themselves that they will do it tomorrow. It is not a surprise if a student that has a lot of assignments to be done still has time to be at the mall or cinema. It is a very common situation and he or she will not sleep at the night of the submission date to finish the tasks.

3. Priority confusion

Priority confusion can actually caused procrastination. It is undeniable that all of us have to know which one has to be done first. It is becoming a serious problem if we do not which one is the first. So, it is very important for us to jot down the date of the task has to be finished. This priority confusion can happen if we do not know the actual due date of the task. When this condition is happening, we will have the excuse to procrastinate our work.

4. Poor organizational skills

Sometimes, poor organizational skills can be the cause of the procrastination. For example, when we are ready to work on the certain task at a certain time, we find out that the things that we need to work on that task are not available or out of our territory. We will be end up with postponing the task. This is where the good organizational skills functioning. When we have good organizational skills, we will arrange our schedule to be suitable with the current situation.

5. Complicated tasks

Tasks that are given to us sometimes can be complicated or difficult. For example, some tasks can make us spending our time searching for something that we know nothing for ages. It is very difficult to deal with this kind of tasks because we will always find excuses to postpone the tasks although they are important. We really should start with something that is light and easy and continue with the difficult one. The beginning is always the hardest part to begin.

6. Mood

We usually heard people saying that they still have not started their work because they are not in the mood. Ironically, they have to find the suitable mood to do the tasks and they will not do the tasks perfectly if they are not on the mood. However, people usually will do any kind of difficult task and they finish it tonight if the submission date is tomorrow. This shows that we can create our mood. When we started to work on the task, the mood will come and make sure that we enjoy doing the task.

lastly, a piece of advice

LET US LEARN NOT MUG

Today, I went to the INTEC Library with my friends.

I found the last 5days newspaper on the table and the front page showing

'Let us learn not mug'.

When I went through the article, it talks about how the studies nowadays have only being examination-oriented.

The article talks about how pressure the students when they have to get great pointer until they do not have time to actually learn and really get to know the lessons.

To think again, this complaint was made logically since we,

the students have to learn and understand the lesson in a very short period.

This kind of situation can really make us more stress out.

All of the students are being 'forced' to get good grade or pointer to ensure that they will get a well-paid job.

It is undeniable that academic assessment is important to know their IQ level. However, assessment is not the only thing that should be considered

in choosing a person.

I think we should make the young generation realized that examination is not the only thing matters in life.

I think, nowadays parents should play their important role in making sure that their teenagers children will not take the examination results as the most important thing in their life.

Teenagers like we all know, having a very difficult personality.

They tend to do things without thinking about it thoroughly.

I think this is already enough for the readers.

Till next time.

TEXTBOOKS ERRORS

In this post, I would like to share with all the readers about an article that I have found in the

New Straits Times website.

This article is about a complain made due to the errors that

were happened to be in the textbook.

I do not think that this kind of errors should happen especially in textbooks

because they are the main reference for the student and teachers.

Although, usually the teachers will make the corrections,

the publishers should not take it for granted because students especially

primary schools' students are easily being influence by the textbooks.

Sometimes, they might think that the textbook is always right.

On top of that,

they usually easy to remember something that is first shown to them.

So, it it very risky to let them have their first textbook spelled wrongly

because they might remember the spelling for their

whole life.

HEAVY SCHOOL BEGS

When I read the newspaper today, I found an article

wrote by a father of a primary school student

about how his son has to bring too many books to the school everyday.

Actually, based on my knowledge,

I know that it is very unhealthy for the students

especially the primary schools' students to bring a very heavy bag on their back.

It can lead to stretching or straining of the muscles

that are being used, direct injury to the spine, and overall fatigue.

This information is actually found in this website.

In my opinion,

the government should take some steps to ensure that our generations will not suffer from the health problems.

Maybe

many of us are not realize how serious this problem could be because there is no proper explanation from the professional comity about this

and the public people could not reach their awareness.

There is an investigation done by the department of occupational therapy at the University of the Free State

compared postural deviation in children who carry heavy school bags against those who don’t and the result was not so supportive.

However, the government already take some steps to solve the problem

such as by providing the students with a locker to keep the textbooks. Nevertheless,

not all the schools are provided with the lockers since the government does not have much budget for that purpose.

SEMESTER BREAK

Lately, people always talk about the semester break that
was decided by most of the universities in Malaysia to be having that in September.

The semester that was usually in May is now on September.

What is your opinion on this news?

Personally, I think that this news is quite dissapointing because when the semester break is on September,

the universities students will be having a 4 months break from their studies.

In my opinion,

4 months is too long for the students to leave all the subjects.

It is undeniable that, in universities there are always new subjects for the new semester. However,

they still need to refresh their previous syllabus because there are some of the subjects basically the same.

If they are having a too long vacation, they

might forget all

about their studies.

Currently. almost all the local universities confirmed to take the the semester break on September.

DIFFERENT MEANING, DIFFERENT SPELLING BUT SAME PRONUNCIATION(HOMOPHONES)

What is actually a homophone????

The word homophone is made from two combining forms:

· Homo-(from the Greek word “homos”, meaning “same”

· -phone (from the Greek word “phone”, meaning “voice” or “sound”

OR

According to The Study of Language, the third edition, by George Yule, homophones are when two or more different (written) forms have the same pronunciation. Besides that, according to Macmillan English Dictionary, homophone is a word that sounds the same as another but has its own spelling, meaning and origin. Homophones are also known as heterographs. Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader (as in crossword puzzles) or to suggest multiple meanings. The last usage is common in poetry and creative literature. There is another way to recognize whether the words are homophones are not apart from pronouncing them. We can actually recognize them through their phonetic symbols which are the same.
