Why Treat Us Like Rubbish ?


Read all these comments....not made up but this is a real life words from people...not animals... but heartless people....

1. "Why they get so much allowance for teaching stupid students?"

2. "I alone can take care of 40 students without any helpers. Why you Inclusive Education (IE) teachers can't take care of just 30 something students and still with helpers?"

3. "It is easy to teach Special Education (SE) students"

4. "You IE teachers are very free.."

5. "IE teachers are not cooperative..."

6. "I will put IE teacher's name in the duty list so that we normal teachers do not need to do sit-in"

7. "Normal students is more important than IE students"

8. "This is mental problem students....they're are stupid"

9. "Your IE money (peruntukan) is also our money"

10. "This school should not have Program Khas Bermasalah Pembelajaran (PKBP). It should be only Inclusive Education"

11. "Your IE does not have any more money left"

12. "There is nothing special about your IE students"

13. "We will use IE quota until we get our teacher"

14. "Why a disable student like you want to study...menyusahkan"

15. "So, how is your students? Nothing happened, right?"

16. "Your job easier, you don't need to prepare exam papers, you don't need to correct students'
work and don't need to do kerja kursus"

17. "What is so special about your IE stuff that you cannot borrow?"

That's all that I can remember about what had been said which I know there are many more that I do not know...but God knows.

Now let me share about the silent words....deeds done and not done....

1. We are the "slaves" because whatever "normal" teachers do not want to do, we the SE teachers are the victims of it all which some of the time, will effect our students because of our absence due to slavering job. It's better to use a dirty cloth to clean a place rather than a clean cloth.

2. We were never given a sitting place in the staffroom because they said we already have our own sitting place in our resource room (which we are using a student's table each in a corner of our over crowded room) ....but they love to use this statement, "You are all part of the school" but only when it comes to doing slavering job. After much about this issue, they finally gave 2 tables in the corner of the "jungle"... far from "civilization" and use it as a place to "store up goods" and other "civilization" activities. Just because we did not use the place....WHY? We have 10 teachers all together. Such a "caring" society in school...a mission school. A rubbish should be thrown somewhere unseen and need not be in a place nicely decorated and done.

3. We were force to be involved in all school activities. Does not matter whether our SE students are involved or not. This shows how shallow their mind is and they have never been to other school with Special Education because the rule is as long as our students are not involved in a certain activity, we, teachers need not be involved in it. Now, we are doing the slavering job that are supposed to be done by normal teachers....and they still blame us for being uncooperative, expecting us to ignore our students for their sake. Rubbish will forever be rubbish.

4. We were once given a classroom downstairs at Block St Daniel (Block D) and due to the increase number of our SE students, we asked for the next door class which was vacant. It was agreed. We managed to use it...I think only a week before it was taken back for some normal students' use....Rotten Elbow People... (buruk siku). Why need two rubbish dump when one can be set up as a castle.

5. Then because of some poor construction of Block D, we were move to Sewing Room (Bilik Jahitan) on the 1st floor of Block St Eugene (Block E). 1ST FLOOR ??? Again, shows how shallow their brain can be...don't they know that SE can never be put other than the ground floor??? For many safety reasons which I mentioned in my previous writings. Reason....not enough classroom. OK....we have to make the sacrifice because we are just rubbish to them. As long as there is a place to throw the rubbish, it should be fine. does not matter if the rubbish might drop from the 1st floor and die.

6. The govenment gave us some sum of money to renovate our SE classroom but they did not informed us we have such money until the Ministry of Education said they were coming to check our progress...then, they have the guts to come and inform us about what we got and worst of all, they all the guts to tell us they had use some of the money for God knows what. They chose a lousy contracter for us and force us to sign the Local Purchase Order without certain things done but on letter, it is done. Because of some of the money was channeled to God knows where, we had to buy our own paint and do our own painting. Then, some "clever" people just simply come and wanted to claim the whole place to themselves but never even lent a helping hand when we were busy whole day doing all the painting. Some wolf in the sheep's clothing. Why give money to beutify some rubbish?

7. Guess what? After all that had been done and not done, they want to move us to another school. Reason...not enough classroom. The real reason....the unseen reason...we are all just a bunch of useless rubbish. The rubbish is getting too much in quantity and it's poluting the "air".

Love Money & Serve the Rich.

Rubbish will forever be rubbish....thrown here and there and everywhere...but rubbish can be recycled and become something worth more than non-rubbish based item. Hmm...

They will never know how hurt the rubbish is until they themselves become rubbish or own rubbish.

God is still an all knowing God and He is a God who is just.

We are nothing but they....part of the rubbish....are children of Heaven...Anak Syurga...if you have not known....KNOW IT NOW!

PLEASE HAVE A HEART & DO NOT BE SUCH A DEVIL.....

NONE OF THESE SPECIAL CHILDREN ASKED TO BE BORN LIKE THAT....THEY ARE JUST SIMPLY SENT TO US BY GOD FOR US TO CARE AND LOVE.


WE ARE JUST TEACHERS WHO CARE AND LOVE THEM AND HOPE TO GIVE THEM THE BEST WE COULD GIVE WHILE THEY ARE IN SCHOOL.


WE, TEACHERS ARE NOT WAR MAKERS, WE WORK IN PEACE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE WAR AMONG US AND AGAINST US.

WE ARE ALL CREATIONS OF ONE MIGHTY GOD...PLEASE....DO NOT TREAT US, SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AND TEACHERS LIKE RUBBISH AND 2ND CLASS CITIZEN IN THE SCHOOL OR ELSEWHERE....AND SPECIAL EDUCATION AS A DUMPING GROUND.

GOD IS A FAIR GOD...HE WILL BE THE JUDGE OF ALL!
