Teachers taught during the MCO. It's not very fair to both teachers and students.

No need send your children to school. Forever holidays. Satisfy?

Guys , If you trust they can maintain social distance at school, you should strongly urge MOE to open to all pupils.
Do u know I have friend as teacher who are stranded at other state during MCO, are forced to buy a new laptop to conduct online lesson since her old laptop is not with her?
Online classes are not the most ideal way. In fact, online classes are more tiring than teaching at school.
Still, nobody should diminish the effort done by teachers and parents.
The people who think teachers are enjoying their sweet 2n half months "holidays" really disgust me.

i hv been following closely my kid's online lessons. They are so skimpy, so short, no depth....what about essay writing? None at all.

Posted by MoneyMachineMaker发发发 > 2020-06-24 10:39 | Report Abuse

U r most welcomed to urge MOE to open for ur son schools asap. There's a lot of limitations and challenges to conduct online lessons. I would rather teach at school.

Posted by LOVE IS IN THE AIR..... > 2020-06-24 10:40 | Report Abuse

Teaching is not one way. Not just dishing out info to yr students. How abt finding out whether your students are truly comprehending ? Where is the time for you to gauge their individual level of comprehension?

Posted by traderstrades > 2020-06-24 10:41 | Report Abuse

yes, they've covered 85% of the syllabus already.... should be no problem!

Posted by MoneyMachineMaker发发发 > 2020-06-24 10:42 | Report Abuse

Yes, you r right LOVE IS IN THE AIR...... That's why I said there's limitation. The reason of having online classes is to maintain social distance. Still, it is not as effective as learning at school. I will be more than delighted to teach at school than having online class.

MoneyMachineMaker发发发, I would if i can. I am also aware of the threat of Covid 19 is not over yet. That is why, we may hv to ask the teachers to sacrifice part of their Dec holidays if needed. None of us ask for this pandemic. Yet, we hv to not just live for ourselves, we are all in this place called Malaysia. We all hv to make it through together. We teachers have a long term mission. Our children depend on us.

For your information we adopt new methods when teaching online. There are online quiz and assessment after every chapter to gauge the learning outcome of the students.

Posted by LOVE IS IN THE AIR..... > 2020-06-24 10:46 | Report Abuse

Yes, that's good. We hv to make the best of the present situation. But we know when the situation gets safer, we may hv to put in extra work.... let's not be afraid to do so..... our sacrifices may be overlooked by men but God will reward us....He is no man's debtor.

Have u thought about teachers who teach in other states especially Sabah Sarawak that are unable to go home for such a long time? School holidays are our hope to unite with our loved ones.

Posted by FantasticBeast > 2020-06-24 10:47 | Report Abuse

Teachers who are really dedicated really spend their time with the students during PKP. N the admin too as reports were sent to parents bout the progress of their child. I see this when i was stranded in KL during MCO. N my bro too helped out by having online classroom with the sch teachers who were not computer literate. My bro taught the teachers how to do google clossroom n forms, how to use zoom. N some teachers use white board to teach online...please dun say teachers dun work durin MCO.

Yes MoneyMachineMaker发发发 , but i am sure you will not be asked to sactifice the whole 5 or 6 weeks.

Teacher thought during MCO? I’m not sure about you, but my kids teachers just forward the google doc to the parents via WhatsApp. They don’t even bother to check whether the kids did it or not!

Hi guys...so i guess it is all up to the teachers, right?

Posted by LOVE IS IN THE AIR..... > 2020-06-24 10:50 | Report Abuse

Yes MoneyMachineMaker发发发, nobody should judge another person unless there is evidence. For me from the old school, we too sacrifice for our students in other ways, yes,esp if you teach in the ulu places.... but our reward as teachers may come years later when you learnt that our students are doing well in life, many even better than us.....so the sacrifices paid off eventually.

Posted by MoneyMachineMaker发发发 > 2020-06-24 10:50 | Report Abuse

LOVE IS IN THE AIR..... December left 1 week holidays. Not 2 weeks, as we need to go to school one week earlier to prepare for next year and staff meetings.

I think the ministry is aware of this. That is why parents are also eager for their kids to return to school. Parents cannot fully replace teachers. They have no idea what the kids are supposed to learn. Also most parents hv to work online at home too. How to attend to 2 or 3 kids at the same time.

I think the ones who deserve to complain are teachers from peninsular working in Sabah and Sarawak and vice versa. Yet again they booked the flight tickets and ministry change the schedule just like that.
MOE should cover their expenses to amend this.

Minister of education, is it true that when school reopens you need to have double the classroom space and double the teacher for each subject? I mean if you apply the sop and social distancing? hahaha

Posted by XxXTripleXxX > 2020-06-24 10:56 | Report Abuse

Amend the calender to have no school holidays this year. Moe should take into account during mco there is no holiday. Teachers work from home using internet to gives exercises online teachings etc. So do students they have online classes.
