Singapore's education system sucks. You spend your whole childhood and adolscence in school, doing worksheets after worksheets, completing assignments after assignments, taking examinations after examinations, studying and studying till midnight, sleep, go school and study all over again. From primary one to primary six, from secondary one to secondary four, from junior college to university. Your whole life is just studying and studying and working. Get a diploma, find a job, and work even harder than before. That is life as such in Singapore. That is the life of a typical Asian. Which basically equals no life at all.
Example, the life of a secondary student like me:
Monday - Go school, come home and do homework, eat dinner, study, bathe and sleep.
Tuesday - Read Monday.
Wednesday - Go school, get stressed out by stupid CCA, come home and eat dinner, do homework till midnight, bathe and sleep.
Thursday - Read Wednesday, replace CCA with third language.
Friday - Read Tuesday.
Saturday - Study, do homework and play computer for the whole day. Get bugged by younger siblings.
Sunday - Art lesson in the morning (YAY YAY YAY XD) Come home and study, use computer.
And on it went, until the holidays that never last.
Therefore, I can proudly conclude I have no life too.
At least, back in China (according to mother), students have a life. The school don't entirely focus on academics. When my mum is attending school back in China, they develop the pupils all-roundedly, in sports, arts, music, dance, and many more. Which is why my mum can swim, cycled, play badminton, tennis, table tennis, dance, sing, draw. And my mum is also good in mathematics and chinese (i mean china of course). But I only know how to draw. And paint sucky paintings. My math is soooo lousy compared to those people in my class.
Despite what the school say about developing pupils all-roundedly, it's only talk and nothing done. I MEAN HELLO IF THEY BOTHER DEVELOPING PUPILS IN ALL AREAS WHY MUST WE HAVE STUPID CCA? IN CHINA SCHOOLS THEY DON'T HAVE CCA EVERYTHING IS EFFING INCLUDED IN THE CURRICULUM. And why the heck must they select people for CCA. Why can't we students just choose whatever CCA we like and stick by it instead of going for CCA trials?? I mean they want to develop pupils in their talents yeah? If they freaking cancel away the selection trials things and allow us to choose our area of interest and the CCA we think we have talent in then I won't be stuck in the effing Red Cross (which I felt no sense of belonging to, the seniors were fierce, mean, demanding and unreasonable) and could go for photography lessons instead!
And the lesson and draggy and long too, with useless activities (example drawing Singapore tree during history) and useless syllables (example Singapore's short and useless history taught to us throughout primary school instead of War World I/II where we could really learn from past mistake and those are definitely more interesting then wasting time learning about...once again Singapore's short and useless history repeated throughout primary school) and defintely useless textbooks (example YES the stupid history textbook which spend one whole chapter talking about immigrants to Singapore which of course we are already very familiar with due to Social Studies in primary school. And all the chapters wasted on talking about climate change and teaching it in Geography when they are not applying what they said in real life. Instead of wasting papers and chopping down poor trees to print useless textbooks telling us about Singapore's short and boring history which we already learnt in primary school, why can't they just teach us about War World I/II so that we could learn from past mistakes and not make them again? Isn't that what they taught us in the useless History syllables last year? And gory videos of wars are much more entertaining than watching cartoons about a little mice get lost in New York.).
Okay I just hate the history syllables in RGS,
And is there no one taking triple science and geography next year?? D: I actually wish that RGS offers interesting courses like photography lessons. Or symbology. Or religionogy (or whatever you call study of religions). Or psychology. Or talks on unsolved mysteries of the world.
And I sincerely hope that I will get into Guides.
