What's the purpose of having millions of students studying the same things for ten years?
adapted from esther hong's blog.







i want to work smart instead of working hard.
but the school system is set in such a way that you have to work so hard that you cant think of ways to work smart.

anyway, the 10 o'clock news says that children should sleep more for brain development.
i'll bet mine's undernourished.

for example, they give so much homework and assess them with grades but yet, those pieces of homeworks are somewhat irrelevant to build up our knowledge about that particular topic.

like chinese. that reflection piece/diary homework about going to malaysia was really quite a bore. i dont feel any different after writing that few chunks of chinese words.
and i dont even know what the chinese textbook is used for.
we hardly open it in school (nor at home)
in fact, i dont even remember when i last saw my book. all i know is it's cover colour.

they should make chinese something like language arts.
ya know, just have an in depth study of ONE particular book for a whole year instead of making us do yue du bao gaos.

in bio, ms chua said that milk has almost all the nutrients that we need.
maybe i should just live on milk and milk alone.

o.o
plus some carrots or apples.some hard fruits.
if not i'd end up with weird looking teeth-.-
and anyway, milk doesnt have fibre-.-


so many tests next week. all so sudden, and quite shortly informed.
only 1 weekend to prepare.
then yesterday had campfire.
today 1 day left, but i heard from fiona there's still chinese speech homework(i cant remember about what, somebody please tell me by sunday 9pm) and bio(but i seriously just cannot imagine what bio homework there is.

chemistry feels like german lessons.
sorry, but i dont take german,i take japanese.
which is also as foreign as french.
and yet, i dont take french.

oh,by the way, there's jap CA5 coming soon.
see?
1 weekend to prepare for so much.
crazy.

i know school life is good.
and yes, i do enjoy school life.
i love going to school.
i just dont like staying there for so long per day, and still having to go home and "home-school"
(do homework)myself after that.

sorry for blabbing so much.
its just that because of all these education and stuff that's supposedly made me smarter,
i've grown to reflect alot.
isnt that what yall aim to achieve?
to mass produce a chain of reflective machines?

yep, and so i'm reflecting now.
reflecting upon the education system.

o.o maybe your plan backfired and someday, we'll get too smart for you.



by the way, isnt global warming caused by "smart" people?
they invent things like cars,for example.

smart eh?
cars make people lazy.
so they turn fat due to lack of exercising, then they'll go for slimming courses where they're smeared with chemicals inside out and expected to be slimmed down afterwards.

cars are environmentally unfriendly, even though there are less harmful cars nowadays due to "smarter" people. the invention of cars brought about deforestation to provide infrastructures like roads...etc. see? less trees to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen.

ya know, i could go on and on, (i already have,)
but i've got piano lessons.
piano exams coming soon.
stupid.so many tests and exams.
hmph.
