U-turn!!!!

What? Back to BM??? Duh!!!

When they first announced that Science and Maths were to be taught in English.. I was a bit skeptical! Ye lah... my kids were all born with 'lidah melayu'! Boleh ke diorang ni?? But alhamdulillah... I must say they are doing pretty good! As a mom.. of course I had to make sure they do!!

And now that the government decided to make to a U-turn.. and revert back to BM (oh.. and other languages too!) with effect from 2012... again... mommy has to make sure they would adapt to this latest change!

I can still remember Izzaty asked me a few months back.. "Mama... litar tu apa?" (She was reading her Kemahiran Hidup text book pasal litar elektrik. And I was like... "haaaa?? litar pun tak tau ke?? Izzaty kan dah belajar in sciences!" Then I remembered she only know the word "circuit"!! :P Hehe.. kelakar pun ada... :D

So I guess I understand niat murni kerajaan nak memertabatkan Bahasa Melayu. But why in the first place they decided to make it in English years ago?? Masa tu tak pikir ke nak memertabatkan bahasa ibunda kita?? And now that most of the kids had adjusted well to accept English for Maths and Sciences..... boleh pulak they all buat U-turn!! *sigh!*

Yang jadi mangsa... kids and teachers zaman sekarang... they have no choice... terpaksa lah U-turn jugak! Bila la nak sampai destinasi macam nih kan.... *sigh!*
