All are equal but....

We had our Annual Prize-Giving Day last Saturday. As the usual norm, awards were presented to the deserving students. However, there was slight different this year. Our PTA(Parents Teachers Association) had decided to give recognition to a group of teachers whom are teaching exams classes @ Year 6.

Sure enough, this had created some discomfort among the other teachers.
I believe duly recognition should be given to all teachers whether they teach in Year 1 or Year 6.

The students excelled in their academic through the sheer hard work and effort put in by all their teachers which began from the first day she steps into school.

Naturally, Year 1-5 teachers had laid a solid foundation on the students before they proceed to Year 6.
The fundamental concrete lay out had been properly cemented even before they step into Year 6.
Indirectly, these teachers had helped to produce excellence UPSR results to these students.

Rome is not build in a day.
Making the students master the alphabets, grammar rules and later writing meaningful compositions don’t just happen overnight.
It takes years to master these skills.
And who helped these students to grasp these basic skills?


Learning the various mathematical equations, formulas and scientific facts needed much effort from the teachers to patiently guide the students day in day out.
And who helped these students to learn these simple digits calculations?

As a beautician, The Year 1 teachers played a major role in producing the colours and shades and finally being given the final touch up by the Year 6 teachers.

The Year 1 teachers had created the entire picture of a jigsaw puzzle and the final piece is being put into place by the Year 6 teachers.
Everything begins with a simple A,B, C and 1 plus 1 equals 2.

Don’t you think, our contributions are equally as important as those of the Year 6?
Are we only considered a doormat ?
Is there a fairness here ?



In George Orwell “Animal Farm”- one of the commandments sounds….

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE
EQUAL THAN OTHERS.

Likewise, there’s no fairness in human lives as well..
