Examinations have finally come to a permernant halt. The only difference from when I finished the last paper two years back when I was sitting for the GCE 'O' Levels, was that i wasn't feeling the uncontrolled happiness and relief from all the stress and restrains.
There probably are some reasons to explain this phenomenon that many of my peers have experienced.
Simply/Firstly, back then, even if were to do badly, we know we have the Polytechnics to fall back on no matter what. But right now, it's a band-wagon jumping competition and to make it, you have to jump from this one that you are currently on(Junior College), to the destined one(University for most). It's not easy and if you fail, goodbye. Especially when our batch of students was from the year of large scale baby boom(52000 babies were born in Singapore in 1988). That would mean a larger number of students are in JCs and therefore, more stiff competition for the little space the University has to offer.
Either you retake the exams A YEAR LATER, or register to another institution which means it will take another couple of years again.
Sad to say, we wouldnt get to know how well we really do and what we eventually get in our results slip are relative to how other students across the island had performed in the same GCE 'A' level paper. With all the discrimination of studying ability casted by the authorities, public and the schools, it's hard(not impossible, i must clarify) for neighbourhood schools' students to stand up against "Top-notched" Junior Colleges' students. And the likes of Wee Shu Min, who are well-fed and well-groomed might view my blog(my honour? LoL) and start another round of criticism and backfiring, with the former laughing head over heels our my kitty-kat language skills and my inability to help myself. Oh well, I'm no RJ student, I should just sit and cry. LoL.
An equal platform of competition for everyone? I doubt so. Everyone is different, but we choose to judge them the same way. How good is that a gauge of our abilities and talents?
If you fail a math paper, does it make you lousy in math untimately if you can figure out a sudoku quiz in merely ten minutes?
No doubt the government has saw the shortcoming of the system, but the only question is, does it mean the people who already failed the system = sacrificial items?
How are we supposed to find the standing ground to establish our fighting ground if we do not have cash-flow like that of a never-ending river(Zheng Hu Lao Peh)?
Is being good in academic equivalent to our strengths in life?
Are our test scores reflective of our character? I think not.
Are they playing fields large enough to accomodate other sorts of talents and skills in Singapore?
Look at America, their students dont reflect the best in International Math and Science quizzes, but they are one of the best in innovations and enterprise? They aren't the ones who spoke perfect English too. Does it really matter? Singapore English very very bad meh? So, why not just ban diaglects from being spoken? LOL NO WE CANT, some people dont want riots and shaken their lightning roots.
Currently,
Elites = Academic scores or rich dad's son.
Income = everything.
We people so far down, are rejects. Wow, a few millions rejects with a small proportion in the "mainstream". I wonder what i should be wondering.
Wow.
hmmms
I will still dye my hair, find a job, go crazy and live my life to the fullest somehow before my army days. Hopefully, I dont die in army, another place filled with discrimitnation, now against physciall abilities.
Till I get myresults.
