Learning, not necessarily from educated.

Teaching in Rural schools gives us rich exposure, to anyone who wish to study the working environment. Year 2002 was a particukar year, I wss appointed as. srnior asdistannt and Engkish language Teacher in a oil palm estate school. That schools studebrs enrolment was only 20 plus, the Teaching personals were two temporary Teachers. One Malay Language Teacher, A gardener, Head Master abd Myvself as the bsvk bone of the school. I was told bybthe Education , officer inchargebof Primary schools, that I should help Principle.The students were mostly from that estate it self. vety daring, quickearning learners, Only they did not get , loving.caring and Compassionate Teachers. few upowr class girls were, naughty and behaved like College students. One girl and One boy, I cant forget due to their family environmemt. The boy used to be akwsys in clean shining school Uniform. The girl had white pearly Teeth. This girks mom, daily prepared fried noodles, and fried Chicken and brought to school. sgecwire gold necklace, huge earing avd gold bangjes , wore her husbands, shirt and pants. After give me the food, told me the name of her daughter n asked me to pass it to her daughter. She with smiling face, spoke to me politely and, started to walked around the temple. This is something wrong ,I realized she has lost her sense. The daughter told me , that her mom,not well.Ibtold the girl, a mom whether sick or not sick,only her children being important in their life.,Thats why sge brings the food she prepared by her self for her daughter. Oneday before Teachers day celeberation, I asked the students what they like to eat. One boy told me, Teacher Cook for us some hot n spicy Vadai. The next morning I prepared hot dhal vadai with lots of hot green Chillies and sweet green beans fried balls. The kids enjoyed the sweet and hot kuihs I prepared for them especially, on Teachers day. My culture ,give beautiful and heartfelt memories to the Kids in.our Working environment.
