“(inserts name) diam boleh tak?”
Instantly, all eyes were on me. I realised I made a grave mistake by saying “diam”.
“Cikgu kata tak boleh kata diam?”
- I told off a student for saying that to his friend and I
- So by saying that, I was not abiding by the rule I juuust laid out
- lel. Honestly felt like a ketam menyuruh anaknya berjalan betul. ugh.
Today, I was tested with a student who cannot keep quiet. I don’t mind talkative, engaging and genuinely curious souls. But what ticks me off are rUdE /intelligent/ ones.
Clearly I’m still a newbie in this area. Allah has been merciful by granting me manageable students until….today.
Ya Allah. I honestly felt so down after saying “diam” to that poor kid. But I think something is wrong somewhere when he decided to sit at different corners of the room (he didn’t want to join our circle, then moved to different corners of the classroom) during our mini tilawah session as a class and how he just went off while others obediently waited for me to release them as the day ended.
Truly a self-reflection moment today. What went wrong? How could I have done better? Had to remind myself that this is not as tough as the students Nusaibah faces every.single.day.
Most importantly, may Allah guide me in my actions and grant me sabr 😦
