Confession on the Pity Classroom Floor

MOST Bruneian students are now too lazy too study. Why is this to happen? Who to blame?
This is based on my experience today while teaching the PSR students at a tuition school. Their exam is in this Wednesday, which is less than a week in fact 3 more days to be precise.

I gave these students the questions on making the sentences from the given phrases. Its only ten questions and the phrases are so damn easy.
1. line up
2. a film show
3. was taken away
4. to take charge of
5. within minutes
6. towards the sky
7. in the evening
8. for the occasion
9. all over the world
10. a glass cupboard

My original primary 4 pupils had done this and they did it with flying colours. And believe me, I got this from First Step To Writing English Composition Year 4. IT’S YEAR 4 for god sake!

All I can say is, MOST pupils nowadays are too lazy to think. They only expect for the teachers to give them the answers. What? Are the teachers who the one going to sit for the exam?
For half an hour I gave clues and mostly strategies to answers and all they can only do is look at my beautiful face (I know, I had to do it!) and smile in blur! Hey! I talked in Malay already that.
I asked, “Come on, just give me three to four words in a sentence. Say walk? Anyone?”
They only smiled and bow their head. AArrggghhh!!!!!
Its easy, it’s only walk…I walk to school everyday! Nah!
My 2 year-old nephew can do it!

Believe me, I have two nephews, six and two. I don’t mean to be snob but they know how to use thinking skills well.

Recently, when I had my ankle injury and I went sungkai at my parents’ house. So I had to walk with this walking stick.
My two nephews looked at me and the eldest asked what happened and laughed seeing how I walked.
My youngest nephew looked at me and I knew he wanted to play my walking stick.
So what he did was, he get his toy car and carried it to me and say, “Uncle, change?”
See, he knows how to think, in order to get my stick he wants to exchange with his toy car.

I don’t blame anyone but isn’t it about time; we think that we are way too lenient in terms of everything. And what I fear most is that, they are our next generation and I got scared how are they going to run our country.
By writing this, in my mind is asking how are they going to sit in the UN General Assembly with nothing what-so-ever knowledge possessed. And when they are about to be asked, I know, they can only smile and bow their head in shyness. What this?

Stop thinking about getting married early. By quitting school and get married as a solution has no future in there. How are you going to feed your children with no job in hand or lower income earned?
