This time, i just want to share about one song. This song i heard (in IKIM.fm Radio) while i driving on my way to Unimas after i ate with my beloved zaujah at Kuching.. This song is very nice to hear.. because there was a child sang togehter with Zain Bikha.. there are so cute to hear the child's voice...
Actually the song was originally sung by Harry Chapin with different verse of voice.. And then, it was sung back by Zain Bikha, Rashid Bikha, Mohammed Bikha, Dawud Wharansby Ali.
This song was told about how a teacher teach their students and how the students want to expand their creativity. The teachers should not blame the student if they have their own creativity, but should respect and give a motivations.. so the student will be like Adi Putra.. hehehe.... Then students also should follows and obey teachers direction if there was not wrong in Syariah Islamiyah...
A law is a guideline to be carried out by teachers. In the end, it is the teachers who interpret and act on the law. This song clearly illustrates a problem with interpreatuation.
And if quality education is truly a priority, situations like this should be non-existent.
Frankly, if teachers feel constricted by educational legislation, they should exercise their rights as active members of society and do something about it. Don't pass on mistakes of the past onto the generations of the future.
It's such a shame how true this song is. Creativity is almost always pushed back by teachers it's terrible. Fitting into pure logic and labels ruins the imagination and suppresses peoples ingenuity. It's so sad that it seems people can't be unique anymore. I think teachers everywhere should listen to this song and learn the message behind it before they teach their children.
Masya Allah, this Zain Bhikha has a beautiful voice and his diction is really nice...His voice together with the childs is very sweet. Peace and Love to All especially to our Palestinian Brothers and Sisters who are such divine inspiration for all of us considering their daily life Trials and Tribulations.
the lyrics: (original from Harry Chapin)
A little boy went first day at school
He got some crayons and he started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
The teacher said, "What you doin' young man?"
"I'm paintin' flowers see"
"Well this is not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one"
And she said...
"Flowers are red
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen "
But the little boy said...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
Well the teacher said "You're sassy
There's a way that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me..."
she said...
"Flowers are red
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen "
But the little boy said again...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
Well the teacher put him in a corner
She said "It's for your own good
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
responding like you should"
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to that teacher
And this is what he said
"Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen"
Well time went by like it always does
he moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said..."Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's paint every one"
that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him "why"
This is what he said..
"Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen."
But there must still be a way to have our children say,
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
