The gals and school

It has been quite sometimes since my last posting. Just not up to it.... This is what i fear most about blogging, when the laziness takes its toll. I need to be in the mood, as they say.... Oh well, I'm here now, back to blogging. I pray that Allah will guide me towards being istiqamah in everthing I venture into, InsyaAllah.

This morning I had the chance to discuss with the gals' teachers in their school regarding their studies and a little chat with K. Zan on the school as a whole. I was actually not happy with Batrisyia being in std 2, when she's not even 7 yet. I just don't want to repeat the same mistake that had happened to Aqeesh. I believe, after assisting her with her homework last night, that she's NOT ready for std. 2 for now. She needs to be in std 1, so that she could have the systematic learning process for subjects like B. Melayu and Maths. I surely want her to enjoy going to school.....doing the subjects of her level. The teachers explained their intentions and plans for the gals. Well, although I was not totally convinced its gonna work, I do have a part of me that says otherwise. I mean giving it another chance sort of thing.

Balqeesh is doing fine, especially when the teachers spoke highly of her achievements and development in her studies. I know she gonna be fine...InsyaAllah.

Then, this little chat I had with K. Zan was the worrying part. The school needs a total transformation in how they deal with the children, esp. the reputatation as a Tahfiz school. Balqeesh once came home and told me that her school needs to change its name to Sekolah Budak-Budak Nakal Gurney! SubhanAllah.......what is she thinking here?? My gals are picking up bad words and actually using them at home. They commented that even the older gals use the words toward small children. This is a bit surprising though, since I want to believe that this school has been around for 8 yrs. Surely the tarbiyah process had started long before!

We also talked about complaints on the unhealthy food, the teachers, the subject's syllabus, the miscommunication between the teachers and Ibu Laila, the cleanliness of toilets, eating place, uncontrolled behavior of the boys when teachers are not around in class and the fact that the school is still unorganized!! Don't get me wrong here.....I adores Ibu, appreciate her tireless effort to manage the school and love how she handles the children. However, she just can't do it all by herself....she needs help and cooperation. No doubt, there are some improvement since school started, but it needs a lot more effort here.

I need to feel comfortable that my children are in the good hands that the intention for them to have Quran is justified and actually happening in this school. I pray to Allah for an assurance that I'm doing the right move transferring them here. I also pray for more improvements in the school...insyaAllah.
