sweet, happy ending~

I remembered i posted something like this in my FB "training my kids for debate competition..so no sch hols for me"...i posted it last week, which was during the school break (1 week).. i was so sad that i had to be in school the whole week when all the other teachers were enjoying their hols to the max.. i was lucky that 1 of my colleagues had offered her help to train the kids.. just FYI, no one, i repeat, NO ONE has ever expected that this sch of mine can beat any other schools when it comes to english-related competition..and the fact that this sch has never won any of them, (even top-3 pun ndak perna!), made it quite a challenge for me to train the students..


SMKAA, used to have bad academic reputation...(sa masi igt masa sa skul d smsfx, asal jak dgr nama SMKAA, trus yg 'o0o0 tedaaala tuuu') and when i think of it again, i feel so stupid with my own silly perspective.. now that i am teaching here in SMKAA, i started to believe that this sch has the potential to be as good as the other schools in town..recently, we were shocked to know that one of the students managed to score 8As (SPM08)... 7A pun ada...4A plg byk... punya riuh the staffroom once the result kuar... semua senyum2 bangga...


Back to the debate competition, it was held 3 days ago in SMK SOOK.. jauh ba kami dtg, 45mins journey jg o0o (tu logging2 bah p pampan jln kalu nda 30mins pun buli smpi..kununnn)..nway, mcmana la SMKAA??


1.) pre-liminary round: SMKAA (affirmative) vs SMeks (negative)
motion: "Music in language classroom is pivotal in enhancing academic performance".
result: motion is ACCEPTED..yeahhh!!!!


2.) semi-final round: SMKAA (affirmative) vs SMKB (negative)
motion: "Students' involvement in co-curricular activities hinders excellence in academic achievement".
result: motion is again, ACCEPTED! ^_^


3.) final round: SMKAA (affirmative) vs SMKH (negative)
motion: "School prefects are the key determinant to bully cases in school".
result: REJECTED.. :)


Was i sad to hear that?? NOT AT ALL.. in fact i was absolutely proud of my kids to be able to get thru to the final which is more than a big achievement for a kampung school..(yg slalu kana look down ni..sian btul sia rasa..but we've proved it, kg2 pun berbisa jg tau)


Till next entry...peace~
