SAPS-Sistem Analisis Peperiksaan Sekolah
- Self Annihilating Programme System
Seriously , I have 10classes to fill up.(by the way m writing while waiting for the marks to be loaded in the system)...10 classes would mean 10 x 4 which amounts up to 40.The annoying thing is why start a system at the middle of the year and we have to back track from UP 1. Most probably some smart officer came up with the idea at the beginning of the year at the Ministry meeting and then forgot to follow up or decided to take a long tea break and realised that from the minutes of the first meeting that this system was to begin from january itself.Suddenly we get a notice to sent in the marks by August 1st.And we were given 5 days to do it.Every teacher went wild by going into the system just to realise that it was slow. i guess by then the officer realised he has forgotten that the system has to serve the schools in whole of malaysia and not his tea break gang which amounts maybe about 4 to 5 chaps polluting with decibels in a non tea break time in a mamak stall or a warung.
But hey who are you to complain? we are suppose to sacrifice.We are likened to a candle burning itself for the students....but whats in it if we burn till there is no wax and the students are lost in the dark?
I think at the core of the matter is the students would like to see a teacher be and teach in a class.And not staring a screen that says server down/busy or went out for teh tarik.Hey you should do it at night cikgu.You are to sacrifice remember.I think a family in the picture wouldnt augur well for a teacher?
I wonder which of us could recall our favourite and influentialteacher and who made us a succesful person. Would you recall a teacher who wrote very well written lesson plan?would you recall a teacher who had the best filing system?would you recallthe teacher who keyed in the marks very well in the computer...or the teacher who taught you in the classroom well and became your friend?
Interestingly falsafah pendidikan negara doesnt talk much about your paper management and filing system but the needs of the students.Now somewhere along the way we might have side tracked .On the brighter side this system will make things easier for us(btw i m paid to write from this paragraph onwards..........nah just joking) And thank god the dateline has been postponed.It would make everyone's life easier.All the marks will be online.Immediate drop in subjects could be monitored very well.Kudos to the officer who came up with the idea.As for me maybe i should take my laptop to the nearest mamak stall to fill in the marks.Who might know I might meet the officer who came up with the idea there.I would hug him and say 'well done sir.we are moving into ICT age'(I thought that was ice ages ago?) i better get this done before i get a third memo!
To all teachers stop being a candle ..get a torchlight and shine on.
