Derita gurauan rakan Oleh Mohd Jamilul Anbia Md Denin dan Hadzlihady Hassanhttp://sg.mc762.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=am@hmetro.com.my
AMPANG JAYA: 'Gurauan dajal' rakan sekelas yang sengaja menarik kerusi yang hendak diduduki seorang pelajar perempuan tingkatan satu menyebabkan remaja itu menanggung sengsara selepas terjatuh ke lantai bilik darjah, sekali gus menyebabkan kecederaan serius pada pinggang dan tulang belakangnya. Akibat kejadian itu, Zaiton Mohamed Ibune, 12, kini tidak dapat mengawal saluran kencing menyebabkan dia sentiasa membuang air kecil, sejak sebulan lalu. Lebih malang apabila mangsa kini terpaksa bergantung kepada lampin pakai buang setiap hari akibat masalah membuang air kecil berkenaan yang berlaku tanpa mengira masa.Dalam kejadian 26 Ogos lalu, Zaiton yang baru selesai bersolat di surau sekolah, pulang ke kelasnya kira-kira jam 5.30 petang untuk menyambung pembelajaran. Dia kemudian terus ke meja dan ketika hendak duduk di kerusi, seorang pelajar lelaki yang juga rakan sekelasnya menarik kerusi untuk bergurau. Akibatnya, mangsa jatuh terlentang di atas lantai sebelum terbaring sambil mengerang menahan kesakitan di pinggang. Mangsa cuba bangun, namun gagal disebabkan kesakitan di pinggangnya sebelum kejadian itu dimaklumkan kepada seorang guru.Ketika ditemui di sini semalam, Zaiton berkata, sejurus selepas kejadian, gurunya menghubungi ambulans yang datang mengambil dan membawanya ke Hospital Ampang untuk pemeriksaan. "Saya dibawa ke wad kecemasan dan diperiksa seorang doktor yang memberitahu saya tidak cedera. Doktor kemudian membenarkan saya pulang," katanya ketika ditemui, semalam.Namun, selepas tiga hari, Zaiton berkata, dia sakit di bahagian pinggang sebelum dibawa ke klinik berhampiran oleh ibunya untuk menjalani pemeriksaan. Doktor di klinik berkenaan kemudian memberikannya sepucuk surat dan menyuruhnya ke Hospital Ampang untuk menjalani pemeriksaan X-Ray. Selepas menjalani imbasan X-Ray di hospital, Zaiton berkata dia membawa keputusan ujian pemeriksaan terbabit dan menyerahkannya kepada doktor di klinik. Menurutnya, dia terkejut apabila dimaklumkan doktor di klinik itu, ada darah beku di bahagaian pinggangnya."Saya memaklumkan kepada guru sebelum pihak sekolah mengeluarkan satu surat untuk mendapatkan rawatan di Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL)," katanya.Sejak itu, Zaiton berkata dia terpaksa menanggung derita apabila air kencingnya keluar tanpa henti menyebabkan dia tidak dapat ke sekolah dan terpaksa menggunakan lampin pakai buang sampai sekarang. Sementara itu, abang mangsa, Abbas Ali, 27, berkata dia ada menghubungi keluarga pelajar lelaki yang menarik kerusi adiknya itu untuk mengadakan perbincangan. Namun, katanya, dia kesal kerana ibu pelajar itu hanya mengakui anaknya memang nakal, tetapi enggan bertemu. "Selain itu, saya memberitahu pihak sekolah dan meminta mengatur pertemuan dengan keluarga pelajar terbabit, namun mereka seolah-olah mengelak," katanya. Mangsa yang tidak puas hati kemudian membuat laporan di Balai Polis Ampang.
Kata Pengetua: Perkara begini boleh berlaku dalam kelas. Sebagai guru, tanggungjawab berjaga-jaga kita ialah untuk sering mengingatkan pelajar. Kisah sebenar begini boleh menjadi contoh teladan - bila kes masuk mahkamah, ianya boleh melibatkan ganti rugi. Sering, ganti rugi diminta adalah tinggi.-- Terima kasih.HJ RAMBLI ZAINUDIN

the teacher is the school teacher

NST: 2008/10/05
PAST PRESENT: 'The teacher is the school and the school the teacher' - R.P.S. Walker (ex-principal KE VII School)By : A. Kathirasen ASK any teacher what pleases him or her most and almost invariably the answer would be: to see my students succeed. Understandable, as they can take pride in having had a hand, however small, in that success.
Experience has taught me that what pleases them equally, if not more, is being appreciated. It is a warm, heavenly feeling, and I know it.Some 20 years ago, I was walking along Lebuh Pitt in Penang when I heard someone call out, "Sir". I spun around and saw a young man in police uniform smiling broadly. Seeing the quizzical look on my face as he vigorously shook my hand, he asked: "Can't remember me ah, Sir?" I shook my head. "You taught me English at the free tuition classes conducted by a youth organisation at the YMHA school in Taiping. Thank you, Sir, I learned a lot from you," he said.
And those words, I tell you, were worth the hours and effort I had spent with those Form 3 and Form 5 students from poor families. Money cannot buy that feeling.Since then, over the years, I have met some students whom I had taught in similar free tuition classes in Prai and Glugor, Penang. I still remember the way I was "recruited" to teach pupils in Glugor in the early eighties by Kalidas, who now stays in Seberang Jaya, Penang. Kalidas was an office boy at the Moh Gee Chinese primary school in Jelutong. Although he earned little, his heart was bigger than that of many who earned thousands. And that is what attracted me to him. He had undertaken it upon himself to run free tuition classes for poor pupils of all races. One day, he invited me to visit his classes and then asked if I could help teach. There was no way I could refuse a request from someone who, instead of spending the time and energy earning extra money for his family, was helping give poor children a lift in life. Kalidas, for me, is a symbol of dedication. Untrained, yes. But all heart. He had passion, which, we are now increasingly being told, is sorely lacking in today's crop of teachers. The general sentiment is that most teachers lack dedication and that this is so, in large part, due to an uninspiring education system and an insipid bureaucracy.I have been lucky to have had some excellent teachers at King Edward VII School, both primary and secondary. To say that they taught me would not do justice to their passion. They did what a teacher should rightly do: they inspired a desire for learning. This is where, I think, most of today's educators fail. Of course, the school curriculum in those days was more wholesome.I am a journalist today largely because of two of my teachers, Ms Leow Kam Fong and Ms Raja Mahtra Kamaralzaman, who inspired me to continuously read and learn; recognising something in me or my writing, they urged me to consider journalism as a career. I will always be grateful to them. Raja Mahtra has passed on and Ms Leow is in Australia.Carl Jung said it well: "One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings."Earlier this year, at the suggestion of my friend Kah Huat, I travelled down to Taiping to meet two of my former teachers, Mr Lim Eng Keat and Mr Francis Ho. Mr Lim taught me Science for several years while Mr Ho taught me Economics in Form Six. I had not seen them since I left school and it was such a joy, sitting there at the Chinese Recreation Club, sipping tea and sharing stories. I have also had the good fortune of meeting up with Haji Razak Osman, my former art teacher, early this year. The years have not robbed him of his jollity nor his wit. Two weeks ago, I joined him as he broke fast for Ramadan. It was a warm feeling.We can only gain by making our teachers, especially those who have had an impact on us, feel appreciated. And today is a good day to show appreciation for our teachers, because it is World Teachers Day. Go ahead, phone your teacher.

guru wanita dakwa ditendang pelajar perempuan-berita harian

Guru wanita dakwa ditendang pelajar perempuan

KANGAR: Seorang guru wanita mendakwa ditendang di perut oleh seorang pelajar perempuan Tingkatan Dua ketika dia sedang mengajar di sekolahnya di sini, hari ini. Azhana Ibrahim berkata, beliau diserang pelajar itu kira-kira jam 10 pagi berikutan tindakannya cuba mendapatkan penjelasan daripada pelajar itu tentang perkataan 'gila babi' yang tertulis di belakang satu folio yang diarahkannya. Pelajar itu bersama seorang lagi pelajar perempuan yang menemui guru itu memanggil rakan mereka selepas berlaku pertengkaran dengan guru itu.

Ketika semakin ramai rakan pelajar itu datang, guru berkenaan ditendang sebelum lari menyelamatkan diri. Guru itu kemudiannya membuat laporan polis di balai polis Kangar selepas waktu persekolahan pada tengah hari kerana bimbang diancam pelajar itu. Beliau yang sudah lima tahun berkhidmat sebagai guru berkata, insiden itu adalah yang pertama ditempuhinya sepanjang perkhidmatannya.
Ketua Polis Daerah Kangar, Superintendan Yusof Mohd Diah mengesahkan menerima laporan kejadian berkenaan dan kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 323 Kanun Keseksaan. Sekolah itu mendapat perhatian ramai baru-baru ini apabila beberapa pelajar Islamnya terbabit mengiringi perarakan berhala sempena perayaan tokong sayur Buddha, di sini. - Bernama
