A decade ago, if you tell your mom that you are going to bring over and introduce to her your future husband or wife who is working as a teacher, it will be music to your mom’s ears. To those parents at that time, teacher = the most noble and respectable work in the world. Especially to the Malay folks, you know they will say “Sejuk telinga dengar”..
Now things have changed. Most people we met says, teacher = one of the toughest job in the world. Why, because
1. The students are controlling them and not the other way around.
2. Those students’ parents (who hold high level position jobs, politician, those who think they are somebody) are controlling them too.
3. If the teacher tried to punish the students, right away a police report is made saying that the teacher is abusing those kids.
4. The teachers themselves have less authority to manage, control and discipline the students.

5. Low monthly pay
6. Wake up early in the morning since the class will start at 7+ am, or attend a boring and sleepy evening session school that normally starts at 1+ pm.
7. Lots of extra-curricular activities, end-up going back home late.
We are pretty sure, you yourself will think twice about being a teacher. If possible you wish to avoid it at all cost. You will definitely try to be something else, but not a teacher. You know what, there are thousands people out there who are exactly like you. Lately, to be a teacher is like the last choice or the last options for them.
We hope we are wrong here, but as of late we heard that most of our schooling friends who were skipping their classes before, those who were marked as no-future-students before, or even those not doing too well in their education are now teachers. It is truly amazing. Try asking around, you might hear something similar from your circle of old friends.
It seems that they had completed all the necessary training, classes, tests, exams and so on during the stint in the teacher’s colleges and adhere to all the relevant rules by the ministry. Yup, now they are teachers. They are now teaching our children to become better persons. Emm.. Something is not right over here. You see,
1. First, they become teachers because of there was no other choice.
2. Second, due to this reason, they do not put their heart into the job. They just do their duty during the period, when the schooling time ended, that is it. The job is done for today.
3. Finally, the quality of being a role model for their students is pretty much questionable.
We are not saying that all the teachers are like this, but for those schools whose teachers are having these kinds of qualities, we wish them good luck in their future undertakings. For us, definitely we are not going to put our children in this school. No way! Obviously because of the reasons above. On top of this, we definitely want to avoid all those probability and chances of being into all those sh*ts with the problematic teachers such as molested and rape cases, abuse and beaten cases, and all sorts of issues related to them.
Again, not all teachers are having a bad history like the one we shared earlier. Nope. Some of these teachers are truly work hard for the sake of their students’ future. They are having a great educational background. Some were graduated from overseas, really want to become teachers. They sincerely and truthfully wish to help built and strengthen our nation – a truly strong educated nation. Here is the type of teachers we are really confident of. They teach with their heart and soul, they love their students as if they are theirs, and they make all the necessary sacrifices together with the parents to make sure these children are progressing well and ready for the future.

A piece of advise to all of you. As parents you are also responsible for your children okay. Don't be too protective, too one-sided to your children, must keep communicating with your children's teachers. Half of the cases are due to the children's fault, not the teachers. So get to know their issues, their problems and their achievement. Lend these teachers your helping hand to solve problems if there are any. Not by just know how to complaint, or directly complaint to your friend in the ministry, sue these teachers all the time or even making police report.. Be a referee, know each side stories (the teacher as well as your children's) and then make your own fair conclusion and act on it.
