Ismail Tahir's post on his wife's daily struggles as an early childhood educator and the thankless task she does has gone viral with much kudos from the public
Mr Ismail’s wife started teaching in 2013. Back then she was “full of passion, full of drive, full of wanting to make a change.” Since husband and wife are both educators they always exchange work stories. He admits though, “I thought my job was tough, boy was I wrong!”She spends for her classroom or students from her own money.She comes home late often, because of the volume of work, or else her students are picked up late, sometimes to the detriment of their evening plans.
She gets saddened by heavy rules, regulations, and restrictions by Management, and “unwanted comments from parents who are just plain unreasonable” from the parents of her students, who vent their anger on her.She is burdened by the sheer number of heavy bags she needs to bring daily. “Bags with files, portfolios, laptops for admin work, paper work, etc.”
Their storeroom is full of shock supplies, bought from his wife’s money, “because there’s always a lack of budget, and the claiming process is oh so lengthy.”
