School

I was called by Maisarah's class teacher to meet him and the HEM (Hal Ehwal Murid) on Thursday. I understood that A went to see him on Monday and the teacher decided to call me to discuss some matters. I was supposed to appear in court but I decided to go to school as I have a lawyer to assist me in court.

The teacher was trying to explain to me that Sarah has some difficulties which I am aware of. Perhaps his discussion with A was to point that Sarah cannot learn in her present school. I met the HEM and explained to her Sarah's condition and I am not expecting Sarah to excel in her academics but I want her to improve her communication skill and her behaviour. I know she has learning disabilities and had been going for theraphy for the last 6 years at HUKM. And her academics is not my priority...

The teacher told me that Sarah's eyes would be watery if any male teachers raise their voice or scold her.... I told the teacher doesnt that shows that she is in constant fear when faced when adult males like her father? She went through a traumatic early life while I was married. And since, I have tried to protect her and guide her to overcome her fears.

The day her father met her teacher, she was so frightened that her father would hit me. She kept on asking whether her father will scold me and abuse me again. I cant imagine whats playing in her mind.....

I cleared the matter with the teachers and explained to them that I am aware of her condition and she is undergoing her regular theraphy at HUKM. All I wanted is for her to grow up at her own phase and maybe someday she could be independent....
