Tiring days
Hi there people, it's been a really long time ever since I last updated my blog. So here I am to update a little on my life. Well, life is pretty sad these days, not only for me, but I believe for others too. Academic stuff is driving people crazy, and into selfish idiots. For example, I heard from my friend that she had wanted to borrow EOM (it's an element of our Project Work subject) from a friend for reference and stuff. That guy agreed at first, and then sort of pretend to forget later on. What is our education system turning us into?
And then there's the other bunch of people who study and study and hate their CCAs for wasting their time. And some who came into the school using DSA are actually sick of their CCAs, they just used their CCA as a tool to get into a better JC. If I were you I would have gone to a "not so good" school and join the cca that I'm interested in than join a better school and then suffer having to continue the cca that you're already sick of! People are losing their life for academic stuff!
And Anderson is turning its students into people desperate for leadership posts. School are teaching their students how to be leaders and stuff, as if there is a formula to being a leader. Schools may say this develops a student holistically, but hey you're teaching it to us like it's some academic thing! For example, Anderson wants the Chairman to think of a class mission and goals, using a formula named the SMART goals. Now we have step by step sequence to follow even for setting mental goals? Come on man, you're turning us all into machine!
Then now there's a sandcastle building thing in my school. Alright, not too bad, they are trying to let us have some fun, away from all the academic stuff. But they are limiting our creativity! There are so many themes we have to follow, first it's the class vision and values, then there's the AJ spirit theme and then the leaping for success theme, and the houses themes. Come on man, what's with all that? Don't you realise by setting all this people are only sqeezeing ideas out of their heads. We're not doing it with our heart! we're not enjoying ourselves! This is just another "stuff to accomplish" for us!
And no transport?! We have to wake up so early in the morning to take taxi and stuff to East Coast Park? Oh my god man don't you realise how inconvenient it is to go to East Coast?
And why is it in Anderson it seems that the others are all working under the council (it's a cca with every single student in it named as "student leaders") Are you sure they are the best people to be the "leaders of the leaders"?
My friend told me that some of the council people from her secondary used to be disliked by people in her secondary school. Well there must be a reason people dislike them, which shows they are just ordinary students who might even have more flaws than others. So why are they deemed as the best?
And let's be honest here, I'm seriously rather doubtful of the Council's planning and organising abilities, because so far the things they had planned sucks. Take for example, on Teacher's Day, the chairman were asked to collect a teacher's day gift. (by the way it cost each class $7 for 2 lame-ass clipboard which doesn't even have our teacher's name on it, you sure it cost $7 ah?)
Then we must wait outside the hall until the cue is given for us to go in. And it turns out we have to wait for close to 45 minutes until all the performance ended then we can go in and give the clipboards to our teachers.
We are your dogs ah? You say give clipboard then we give clipboard, you say go in then we can go in ah? At least tell us your plans first la, just tell us "wait for the cue" and then just let us wait, like the council is the boss of all the students like that.
I'm sorry that I have to make this post such a sad one, but what can I say other than this? This is the life that we're living in.
