Education.. Does it sound important to you?
Students learn that it’s okay to be stupid because we have the internet now. It’s not necessary to be be taught common sense or general knowledge, because you can just Google it.
Education here is tough and I can feel the pressure of Singaporean students who taking their major exams this year or should I say, every year is getting tougher and tougher/easier and easier. Fate has given me the answer by not stepping a level further to pursue my 'O' Level.
When I first heard that our Secondary 5 criteria changed, I expected many Sec 4NA students to leave by the end of the year but I was wrong. Darn it!
When I was looking at Secondary school last four years ago I knew two things about myself: I liked Combined Humans, and I liked to write on my F&N book. Those things are still true today, although I have learned more about myself in that time. I liked periodic table, I like how they are arranged. I like learning about new social-studies topics and being able to write about them. But coursework? Hell no! I rather put it aside.
Maybe I didn’t do this whole secondary school thing the “right way.” I didn’t pick the major that would make me the most money or that was the right major for my dream career (comparison of 'N', 'O' and 'A' Level leavers). I don’t have one career in mind right now. I saw something I was interested in, I worked hard to understand the topics presented and I feel that I am leaving secondary school a more educated, more productive person.
What I heard from Haziq about his classmates mid-year exam results is really depressing. I mean getting an F9 for English is a really bad idea. You guys are usually good, what happened this year? Is the teacher pushing you really hard or you just stressed up? It's not you can't strive or there's no hope left, there is... but you need to do "a lot" work and revision. Time is running out, take away your leisure time and start working. Well, it is easier for me to say because I didn't have to take any major exams this year.
Haah!
Ordinary Level, 5 years and you didn't have the experience of lab work. And this is your first time do-ing so. It sounds corny but hell yeah, hopefully you guys could outstand the Secondary 4 Express student.
Diff: Sec 4 EXP has a year of experience. Sec 5NA has none. Logic? Define? How is that possible?
Is education fair? Or just bold?
Don't exceed 20 points or you will, will what? FUYL.
I'm going to my new school or SHOULD I SAY CAMPUS soon. I'm excited for meeting new friends, wearing new uniforms and not the school schedule or waking up in the morning thing. But it's only 3-5 hour lessons. So why do I even bother!
"All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there’s someone perfect who might be searching for us.."
