Tribute to teachers....

i just wasted 4 hours of my life listening to 2 lecturers who couldnt lecture to save their life. Honestly!
i waste 12hours of my life every week to sit and listen to these incompetent preachers who knows that we are not listening either. and it has become such a norm to get incompetent fools that we all accept them as they are and just waste our time, effort, attention and resources,just like that.



i can remember my Form2 and Form 3 Geography teacher who was awesome. this blog is a tribute to her. She had a voice of an angel, wits of a magician and the humour of a teenager.she was sporting, affectionate and cared for us. she went past the classroom to teach us things like culture, general knowledge, moral. i remember when we would look forward to after the final semester exams where we are allowed to be hooligans and run wild and free all over the school. the teachers would not even come in to class. but she, she would come in. she actually thought of ways to educate us beyond her scope. because why? because she is a teacher.her job is to impart wisdom and knowledge. so how do you get a class of 35 to sit down and listen to you preach with open ears and open minds and learn something new when we are actually free to be hooligans??

she saw me borrow a Chicken Soup for the Souls book, took it from my table and started to read to all of us. it was like i was home with my mum and she was reading me a bedtime story. she then explain what the story was about.

she started doing that everytime she came in. and soon, the other classes were requesting that she did the same for them. can u imagine an entire class actually asked to be educated??? when we could be playing UNO and what have you?

her voice was soft but loud and clear. her remarks sharp but kind. she was strict and a perfectionist. you know just from a conversation with her that you do NOT want to mess with her.


it was thanks to her i developed an interest in Geography,something i deemed as Snoozefest before she taught me.

THAT'S the kind of quality educators we need teaching in universities. not some fool who has a PhD and thinks he can teach already. not all who knows can teach. it takes a special set of skills to teach. i ask for an elaboration on one of the terms on his OWN slide and he turns around and says "i have no answer for you"

....


useless,wouldn't you say?

to think that these losers claim 4k off our pockets as a fee to impart rubbish is absurd, to say the very least.

the good lecturers, those who has the intellect and skill to teach, are often sent for further studies, research, administrative works. because they are capable, they are given the task to manage and lead the university.
i ask you, which is more important, the student's education or the number of research and functions the university can boast about?

i think they seriously got their priorities messed up

then they turn around and expect you to already know your shit.
in uni everything is basically self study. but if that's the case, why hire lecturers?
just hire researchers will do la. i am sure they cost less. then the university can spend more on facilities like proper bus schedules, proper bustops, proper cafeteria food.


btw, the awesome geography teacher is no other than Pn.Ooi Poh Choo. god bless ya
