I had a tuition class with the students.\u00a0 \u00a0Some of them are sad because of their trial results.\u00a0 So, to cheer them up, I asked them to look at their exercise book where they wrote their targeted marks for SPM trial.\u00a0 I told them before if they can get the marks that they set in their trial, I will give them RM100.\u00a0 When I made the offer, I was prepared to spend RM600.\u00a0 Of course, they don’t believe it.\u00a0 \u00a0After all, it is very rare for them to get such offer.\u00a0 But I am not their typical teacher.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Each of them was hesitated to let me know about their marks.\u00a0 Alhamdulillah, I came well-prepared.\u00a0 I looked at my handphone and searched the marks Ita gave me.\u00a0 So, I read their marks one by one (well, they already know each other marks when Ita discussed their paper a week ago).\u00a0 \u00a0While reading their marks out loud, I checked their exercise book to see their targeted marks.\u00a0 Ainsyah is the only one who able to reach the target.\u00a0 She has improved a bit (well, from D to C is a good-enough improvement for her).\u00a0 Let’s be realistic.\u00a0 They know it is quite impossible for them to get a solid A (above 80%).\u00a0 I don’t want to put unnecessary pressure on them by suggesting they should aim that high.\u00a0 I told them to renew their target for the real SPM.\u00a0 But I don’t let them know about the monetary reward that I will give if they can achieve their targeted grade for SPM.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I give them monetary reward?\u00a0<\/strong> All of them come from B40 family.\u00a0 I want to help them to prepare for SPM by having their own money to buy stationery, revision book or other things.\u00a0 So, that’s why I gave them the RM100 reward.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0I don’t know how I can assist them since I am no longer at school.\u00a0 \u00a0Last year, when I was at school, Ita and I bought stationery supply to give to all of the SPM candidates.\u00a0 \u00a0I am planning to do the same this year in sha Allah.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The monetary reward that I plan to give them for their SPM is also to assist them to buy UPU form (yup, they have to buy the code at any post office).\u00a0 Even though they no longer have to fill in the UPU paper-version form like I did back in 1996, they have to buy a password\/code to get accessed to UPU online.\u00a0 The UPU form that I had to pay back in 1996 cost me RM100 per form.\u00a0 That’s quite a lot back then (and now).\u00a0 At that time, I worked at MPH Bookstore with RM450 per month (or more if I did lots of over time or OT).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I just started my Latihan Ikhtisas, the SPM results were announced at the end of March 2018.\u00a0 I still remember Cikgu Mun, the school counselor used her own money to buy the code for some students who did not want to apply to any matriculation centre or Asasi via UPU because they didn’t have the money.\u00a0 Their parents could not afford to buy it.\u00a0 It breaks my heart.\u00a0 I don’t want the students to stop from furthering their studies to higher level feel hesitated due to financial constraint.\u00a0 So, by rewarding them with monetary reward, I hope that at least I can help them in certain way.\u00a0 As a teacher, it is difficult to ignore such predicament that your students are experiencing.\u00a0 After all, it is not their fault to be in that situation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
