In my school there is a student who never bath in half a year. He also didn't wash his clothes for a long time. It sounds ridiculous to us but people like this still exist in malaysia. Everywhere he past by will leave a terrible smell. Some people will say "tell him to take bath". For God sake, their whole family lead this kind of lifestyle. They feel comfortable with their ways of life. You think a few sentences can change their behavior? We did so many things, advice, gave him soap, force him, but til the end everything is in vain.
Teaching had been different experience here. Teaching here is not about knowledge but ways of living a life. So, there goes all the answering skills into the dustbin. Parents did not find knowledge important. They send children to school because children were well fed in school. Apart from that, they want to void legal issues for not sending children to school. Education is about sending children to school, they held no responsible towards education. It is a sad reality. Despite all the wealth we get from petrol mining, we had far left behind in terms of education.
Should we open another school for parents? Educate the parents before they send their child to school? Teach them about parents responsibility in education? I leave a space to let everyone think about it.
