Overheard this morning..
'Schools should do more to prepare students for life'
I almost fell off my chair when i heard the above over radio this morning. Im surprise that some students in Singapore actually have the cheek to suggest that. I reckon someone is going to kill me by the time i finish writing but i simply do not see the logic of how school should do more and prepare these students for life.
First, i take offense that they suggest the above. Simply becoz if they are asking for school to teach them about life now... then what does it make me? 20 years of my school life gone to waste? Im juz a notes crunching monster? Im a less person than what i would be if someone from my cohort (20 years ago) had stood up and demand that schools teach us more then??
Second, whats the real reason why these students even go to school? To spend time while their parents are neglecting them? To spend time while their parents themselves demand that their bosses teach them more about life too? (since no one from their cohort stood up and asked for the same thing 40 years ago)
Frankly, if you ask me, these students are simply plain lazy. They simply want the schools to scrap the exam system so that they dun need to go through them and since these 'Smarty a*s' are already in 'top' schools, no one would really label them 'stupid'. Pity those more diligent students from neighbourhood schools who dun have the luxury of skipping exams (O level included). All these simply by asking for a more fulfilling and complete education system.
Kiss my hairless as*! COme on! A SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHERE YOU GO TO LEARN YOUR ABCs... if you have a problem with that, DUN COME TO SCHOOL! LEARNING ABOUT LIFE should be taught by YOUR PARENTS (SORRY IF YOU DUN HAVE ANY) and through your life experiences.
Dun come up with lame themes like the above to attract attention and gain publicity. YOu cant be a better person by asking for more to be done becoz life is a journey and discovery. No teachers out there is equip to teach the subject except yourself. If you cant even figure out that fact, you should kiss my hairless a**!
Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, with all due respect, you ought to stop making so many changes to the education system. Why change something thats unbroken? These bloody students obviously have too much time on their hands to be so vocal. Give them 9 subjects each year and i advise you to take a good tour around all the 'top' schools and tertiary institutions to see how short skirts have grown.
Humph! Can you dig that?!

I am in no way related to the author or his views. In fact, i think school should have aircon class rooms and free food and provide each student with a car and a parking lot.(but thats another issue altogether).
