No More PMR...

"Kasihan cikgu..." That my first reaction towards this issue. Some people says it is good, some don't. Let's analyse this issue ok...

Pros

1. "Less exam oriented" assessment for students, which is partially true...because students still need to under gone exam, right?

2. Reduce country burden to finance for public examination. For me, it is wise enough economically but if only Government could retract the PTK examination among government servants... Well the aim of PTK exam are good theoretically but practically not useful and wasting lots of government efforts & money in order to produce highly competitive workers..

3. .... I add later if I have any?

Cons

1. Do you think that teachers had enough important & non important jobs to do....

Teach students, set exam question/exercises, mark it, write notes for students, handle students' disciplines... become a co-curiculum advisors, follow students for tournament/competition, become supervisor for landscape, supervisor for Koperasi, supervisor for canteen, printing papers, sort out papers, taking attendance & further more which I can't think of.

Why can't school become like universities where academic staffs only focus on academics while non-academic supports the management of the institution?

2. No exam, no worries, no study...But not all students are lazy like "pahat dengan penukul" right?

so you decide...is it good or not ok. Let's think it with rationale not sinister.

Anyway I would like to congratulate to all teachers for being such an extraordinary persons... without all of you there will be no doctors, lawyers, lawmakers, businessmen etc.
