Non-Muslim Teachers

Islamic schools shouldn’t hire non-muslim teachers.

If you think I’m intolerant for saying so, then it’s best if you turn around and not read this.

The first grade at the school I volunteer at has too many kids for one class, so… they had to split it into two classes and apparently, one class got a non-muslim teacher and the other the same first grade teacher the school has had for over six years. I work with the non-muslim one and I notice lots of things… little things that aren’t right.

If you can’t have non-muslim companions how the hell can your teacher be a non-muslim??

She’s a  nice lady, all in all… but she yells a lot. Tells the kids not to say “wallah” in her class. “Don’t swear by God in my class!” What do you expect, it’s an Arab school!

During Science class, she asked about how some kind of landform was formed and one kid said, “Allah made it :) ” Haha, right on, kid… What’d she say?

“WRONG.”

Oooo… and I heard her cussing as well… Ok well, that wasn’t in front of the kids, but still, I DON’T CARE!! It’s like you’re sending your kids to a public school with an Arabic and Quran teacher (that only teaches them less than one Surah a month. C’mon, man! They’re young. They have better memory.).

And well, she always has to yell at the kids on the days I come in, or so I feel, because they keep looking at me and smiling or talking to me while working… hehehe… and then she has to yell at them to get them back to work.

This girl once said, “Sr. B doesn’t have friends.”

I think this girl hates her majorly.

“It’s okay for Sr. B to eat poison because she’s not Muslim and it’s not haram for her.”

Other girl: “So what? It’s still not good for her, even if she’s not Muslim.”

“She can still eat it.”

Cute :D .

Man, it’s so sad… When I was in first grade in that same school, we’d go to Salah, but these kids now, they don’t know how to pray :( . That is SERIOUSLY sad.

Anyways… I feel like a dork when someone talks to me in Arabic at the school and I have tell them that I don’t know Arabic. What do I look, Arab?

I feel like none of the words they say, makes sense from what I’ve learned with my Arabic teacher.
