I am out of
touch. Is this the reason why the employers have no faith in our education
system when passing one subject is considered passed and something to rejoice,
to shout about? What is the truth? Would the student with one or two passes go
home and announce to papa and mama, ‘I passed, one subject’ and get rewarded?
The
statement is very honest or very dishonest or honest dishonest? Ok, there was
another banner that stated something like 84.3% passed at least 5 subjects.
Though we must not embarrass or discourage those that did not do well, but we
must be honest with them, that one pass does not qualify to pass the whole
examination. Or maybe nowadays there is no such thing as pass or fail an
examination. Just count the number of passes good enough. What a merry world of
semantics and make beliefs. Yes, say the right things and hear the good stuff.

All they want is a pat on the shoulder. 99% is as good as ALL passes. Education Ministers can all stand up tall and receive praises from admirers. Wait, only one subject passed? Aiyah yes lah but who cares. 99 is as good as 100%.
ReplyDeleteWhat does passing a state exams means? That you are smart in learning? Ok now you are a learned person. Learned for what? Get a good job mostly? Your job must commensurate with your learning. Your learning must then meet market needs. So you learned to serve the market. But what is the market? A market is a place where you buy and sell. So you have learned or were prepared to meet market needs - a place for buying and selling. You can't buy or sell if you are not qualified or marked for the job.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, you have been marked for that purpose. To be precise, since learning is mostly head stuff, then the head would be the place where it is rightfully marked, naturally.
Have you checked the marking on your head? Is that good or bad?

So how to depend on kpkb to save a (rotting) sys?
Old fart already said aloud in Arsetailia once that he not sure sin land will survive once he gone lah?

ReplyDeleteVirgo Elder;
Sin, a 700 sq kilometre lsland with about 5 million
citizens, has 2 Education Ministers.
Both are recently appointed.
One of them is an ex-3 Star
SAF General, which surprisingly l find him to
be the Most Humble in the Cabinet. Just my personal opinion.
BUT, to see him speaking in State Media at times, gave
me the Impression that he himself will make a better
person if he goes back to
a sabbatical to learn the
Art of helming an education
ministry. Currently, he seemed quite like a primary
school boy himself.
Anyway, l am not bother about
the Honesty of Politicians.
l am always of the View that
good and wise leaders are a blessing to any nation. And that such leadership will always share the Woes and Weals with its people.
However
and more importantly, the People must not be DAFT to
be mesmerised by flamboyant
and charismatic
politicians liked the Late Horrible Man of Sin or the
Outgoing US President. These
Men with lots of charisma tend to draw lots of fan who
enjoy form but not substance.
Can Sinkies imagine themselves throwing facts out of their minds to accept personal claims of such politicians even when their
claims were not true or fictitious.
Many Sinkies do get very high
with make believe and self gratification with so-called positive attitude.

//Many Sinkies do get very high
Deletewith make believe and self gratification with so-called positive attitude.//
In some ways, a positive attitude (even if in self-illusion) is quintessential in sin(land)?
How to feel excited after years of rigours to tkss among (blind) oxes and lau kok kok?
Yew need huge doses of positive thinking not to feel depressed and bleak?
Without positive thinking, even the next second is a grind and torture?
Especially this period?
Yew drop by Sago Lane?
Yew go upstairs to the level 2 hawker ctr beside Sago Lane?
The shallowness is worst than the dark dungeons of the hade?
Without positive thinking, all hopes to live (even for 1 more second) is lost (when living among the shallowness of the lau kok kok especially those milling away their time in Sago Lane, the Level 2 Hawker ctr upstairs and many parts of sinkieland?
Self-gratification?
What is there so gratifying to walk past a bunch of lau kok kok drowning themsleves among buckets and buckets of beers and bottles?
To continue to have hope living among such lau kok kok (as fellow sinkies), a sea load of positive thinking is a must?
It is these dafts that dashed the hopes (of the next generation)?
Very much so
Deletehowever,
the younger generation
is not any wiser too.
Tiok?
DeleteEspecially mingling in msn with (blind) oxes and lau kok kok?
So better be wise and stay away?
Ha ha ha
So (verLEE) LO(OOOOOOOOO)NG .........

Uncle RB is probably right to write this article about some crazy journalist crowing about "passing" 1 subject at "O" Level when even passing 5 subjects but missing out on the aggregate points cant even qualify to go to the most unpopular poly course?
Which brings to the comment by 5.32pm hinting that even as a (blind) ox (himself), (somehow he is able to detect that) the newbies are not up to ....... and education being a critical and integral part of sin(land) survival could spell (further) trouble in the erosion of the quality of students being churned out ........?
The fact that uncle rb pointed out some crazy desperado journalist even go to the extent crowing about a substandard and non-passing "1 subject passes" at "O" Level is a sign of the times and how bad and rot the (education) system has degenerated?
Otherwise why even crow about passing 1 subject at O Level when even passing 5 subjects might not qualify a student to even the most unpopular course in poly?
Another troubling tell-tale sign which may have been missed by many (cos not to their advantage so crazy journalist nvr crow about) is the terrible morale among teachers right from the start till the top?
So being an ex-3 star he surely knows what poor morale among the troops means and implications in the outcome of a war?
So the outcome of the quality of the students churned out is written all over the wall?
All these so call improvement in each cohort are just exercises to pull wool over public opinions, what the chn termed as the (daft) old 100 surnames?
Poor morale among the troops but outcome improvement over preceding year cohort every passing year? Conflicted out already? Doesn't gel? Right?
Think one suggestion mee can suggest to one (blind) ox so he can (write in and) suggest to the newbie to reform (the sys and) so that sin(land) has a fighting chance and arrest the erosion of students quality is to ditch the Cambridge system?
Graudally migrate to the IB system?
This is not anyhow say but based on deep thorough research ......
As usual, with the millions remuneration, high positions, perks, authority, power etc given, the newbies are happily settled in their parachuted jobs and therefore (totally) out of touch with REALITY?
So if an army churned out soldiers who are ill trained to fight a real battle and war, how to win?
Enuf said?
Nothing will be done in the end?
Cos newbies or naught, their real competence are all the same (JLBs)?
Cos they blur blur like what (blind) ox labelled him "maciam primary sch student" so (sinland) future eat grass liao?
How to have hope?
So need positive thinking lah (to survive) while the system continue to rot unabatedLEE?
Everywhere rot rot rot, can see one, unless yewr eyes paste stamps lor?
It is not a matter of honest dishonesty, or dishonest honesty. The article/report was written by a person with a crooked mind making use of statistics to influence the general public with his twisted logic, probably with the intention to subtly embed a sense of greatness where there is none.
ReplyDeleteSuch people are everywhere and we encounter them everyday - especially unscrupulous sales personnel, crooked politicians and self-deceived preachers. But when an article/report like that is published in a mainstream media, it becomes a matter of great concern because it reaches millions of people with the intention to influence the minds of those readers.
Therefore, it is good that you picked it up and expose such unscrupulous tactics. There should be more people like you to expose such crooked/twisted minds.
Already suggest just to have two or three A first class BOMBs.
ReplyDeleteJust have the Bomber and some fighter escort planes and you can disband the whole of the SAF. Saved trillions of dollars every year.
Monies can spend on welfare of all Sinkies. Free education, health etc. No need to pay protection fees buying their military wares from Uncle Sam.
Monies earned so hard spend paeng paeng playing stupid war games on these never seemed to grow up delinquent boys.
Armed Forces waste of monies on these parasites.
One subject pass joined the Armed Forces and the SPF.
You see our time. AGGREGATE Score must be how many credits and subjects passed to obtain Grade I/II or III. No pass Eng Kok just GCE.
See our Mr RB, daily article Eng Kok so powerful and concise. Attracted thousand of readers and even the millionaire ministers.
If not you think got what changes like Benji's case. They recommend an adult in the interview. Without the KPKB in the special media, you think they rectify changes.
WP already PAP second team like their fat cats MIWs. No voice already.
For the last few decades, so many square pegs in round holes Eucation Minister who confused the whole student population with their trials and errors guinea pigs games.
Must get those on the Education Field to find the solution.
Not Chiak liao bee soldiers and policemen. Know only paeng pageng waste monies.
One stupid hand grenade cost 50 bucks can feed five uncles and aunties. No need collect crockery at Hawker centres.
Forget to add : These square pegs in round holes Chiak liao bee ministers know only how to find the the correct round holes.
