GMD 8P

GMD.

Not GOONG MADNESS DISEASE, but GREAT MOTHERS' DEBATE.

Haha.

As you can tell, I'm suffering from utter-boredom-which-morphed-into-lameness.

U.B.W.M.I.L.

8)))

Yup.

Followed my mother to school to send my sis off for a field trip.

Consequently, I was brought along into the canteen for their debate on how the school's (SN's) standard is dropping (obviously true) and the factors and solutions of the problem.

Why aren't we(SN primary) performing as we used to three mere years ago?

Complacent, are we?

Not that I look down on neigbourhood schools, but they beat us in standard of the PSLE results now--where we used to beat them by a reasonble margin just a few years ago.

Really, I don't look down on the students and teachers in neighbourhood schools. Quite the opposite, in fact. I respect and look up to them for their bombastic results. ( 270 and above!!!)

Then again, the batch(es) which graduated a few years back were the last few which our Mrs. Hwang saw through the Primary four streaming examinations.

I wonder why the minister of education decided to eliminate the streaming examinations when , clearly, it acts as a foundation for the primary education of students?

And 'teach less, learn more'?

Aren't the primary students a little too young to be able to do self-research and self-learning?

Oh well.

Can't really change the education system now unless I'm one of the higher-standing officials in the Ministry of Education.

Oh yeah.

And I bought my Mathematics textbook today!

YAY!

Haha.

I've gone MAD. I know.

:)))

Adios!
