Values vs Academic Qualifications

Salam hormat,

“Anak-anak kepada ibu bapa adalah juga murid-murid kepada guru di sekolah. Pendidikan itu bukan hanya citra pencapaian akademik, tetapi melangkaui kewajiban yang lebih bermakna ~ pendidikan nilai dan kemahiran insaniah. Usah abaikan kebermaknaan ini oleh keghairahan mengejar kecemerlangan akademik semata-mata”.

Untuk rakan guru, dan rakan pengunjung sekalian, diperturunkan petikan sebahagian artikel menarik daripada blog WWW.MIORAZLI.COM berjudul "Values vs Academic Qualifications" untuk perkongsian ilmu bersama tentang pernyataan di atas, seperti berikut ini;

A child, who has been over protected and habitually given whatever he or she wanted, would develop the entitlement mentality and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent’s efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others.  

This kind of person, may be good academically and may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel a sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more.  

If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead? 

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat good meals, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let him experience it. After a meal, let him wash his plates and bowls together with his brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love him in the right way. You want him to understand, no matter how rich his parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young man.  

The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

Kita berguru daripada guru-guru kita. Kita juga berguru daripada ibu bapa kita. Mungkin saja guru dan ibu bapa kita melakukan kekhilafan dalam proses penataran ilmu kepada kita.

Usahlah kita pula melakukan kekhilafan yang sama. Kita belajar daripada kekhilafan kita, kekhilafan mereka yang mendidik kita, dan kekhilafan lingkungan kita sendiri.
