Misinterpretation?

Ok, lately there's been a very interesting debate going on around my circle of friends.. And yes, if u've been following the updates in facebook, itz about T-man's notes / blog.. I feel that our education system in Malaysia is putting too much emphasis on results, attendance and etc that we're neglecting the most fundemental basics of education, shaping the generation.. Itz a very simple fact.. We have sooooo many straight A students, so many geniuses, etc.. And how many actually in the end manage to reach their goals & destinations.. A very easy figure to see is the SPM.. How many of these straight A students actually managed to make it to the next level? I know a friend who is straight A and yet struggling to cope with college life or A levels.. U can tell itz a different level, a whole new battlefield but that's exactly my point!! In college, we don't get spoonfed like in secondary school.. The ball game is entirely different.. Lecturers dun give a damn whether u can cope with the workload or not, as long they get paid and they do their duty, they're done.. That's how they do it overseas, unlike here, u can even BEG ur marks, i've seen it (act i've even done it)

So coming back to T-man's problem, people might get a hoo haa over kelakuan issues and all but in the end it doesn't really matter.. Sure u people out there might worry about ur scholarship application and things like tat.. In the end, itz down do ur present attitude.. People getting cermelang in kelakuan becomes drug addicts, smokers and all... So izit a really fair way to judge a person.. I think not..

You should try A level math sometime, nobody in my class finished the paper. And there are people who get perfect for their papers who couldn't finish it.

And be glad you don't have practical.

oh well, might be lucky not to have practical, dunno why they left that part out in STPM.. Hmm.. That's strange, what do u make of it?
