Anak-anak ini dilabel sebagai mereka-mereka yang sudah "tiada harapan". Oleh cikgu-cikgu dan oleh diri mereka sendiri:
"Cikgu, kami ni, nda da (tiada) harapan suda..." They willingly said that to the teachers who insist that they make an effort to study and participate in class activities.
Dalam keadaan dan perspektif yang lain: They taught me that I could be anything and everything that I hate. that I am no less than those whom I despise for their attributes or attitude.
They make me ponder of my own being. What's the use of this screaming or the yelling; the swing of a hand or a pinch for a forgetful and playful mind.
I was once a kid but they remind me that I was a far-more-blessed one compared to where they are now...no matter how ugly I thought my past memories were, no matter how awful that experience and how hard it was, theirs are far more challenging.
Now that I know, I need to understand. I need a different 'understanding'. With better understanding, I could act and respond better to their misbehaviours and the problems that arised with them.
But then again, how?
