I'm rather disgusted now. Although, this news may have been out of date to discuss now but who cares?

Note: All the stuffs I wrote below are not trying to generalise or accusing JC students. It is meant to comment on that particular "JC Kid." Hope it won't be offensive to anyone, excluding that kid.


Okay, here it goes...

I was surfing the web just now and came across this particular infuriating article. It seems like this article was on last week's newpaper.

Here's the link : http://newpaper.asiaone.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,104850,00.html

It's just ridiculous for this kid to comment that "a lot of the poly people are just stupid, childish and mindless kids" when all his arguments and rebuts don't make sense at all. Most importantly, the arguments he made do not show high level of maturity. In fact, by judging from what he said, he is just plain childish, himself.

Lets see. (the text in bold are by that kid)

The fact that we can do better in all the exams up till now means that we have a better learning ability than the rest of you. We still do well in subjects we don't like. Put an average JC student in a poly and he'll ace everything. HTML? Teach it to any JC student and he will definitely master it in less than half the time poly people take. I don't see how the poly kids can ever do better than any jc boy when they can't even do well for the O Levels. O Levels is just elementary stuff. Simple maths, simple science and basic mastery of your languages.

Sterotyping. Is it actually true that if we put an average JC student in a poly and he will ace everything? I doubt so.

'If someone can't even meet the minimum cut-off (points) to enter a JC, it's just plain sad.
'People from poly should know their place.'

Oh well, I must say that it's definitely untrue that poly students can't meet the minimum COP to enter JC and choose poly as an alternative pathway. With my own eyes, I've seen one of my friends who scored L1R5, 7 points entering poly without even completely her first three months trial in JC. I am quite certain that with her points, she can choose to go to almost all the JCs but she chose to get into poly. I certainly do not think that JC students are more superior that poly students. Both have their pros and cons.

"But, it's normal for you to deny that...since, you are from a poly too. Haha. Why? Can't meet the minimum cut off to enter a JC?"

lol. Poly kids are the one taking up low paid jobs. Can you get into law? Or medicine? =pYep. They teach you people to work. That's all they teach. They dont teach you to think at a polytechnic.Being in a JC doesnt just mean that our memory is better. We're better overall learners. Better in languages, science and maths. Bigger deal than being in a poly, like I said.


Yes. There are some of you who got lucky and managed to meet the minimum requirement.No big deal about being in a JC. It's just a bigger deal than being in a poly. lolAttitude? Pointing out how inferior poly people are = attitude? lolWe do better in every aspect. Not just in exams. You guys get taught only to work. Do they teach you to think? lol!

Seriously, as I read on in that forum, I get more disgusted by "kid" than ever. Why is that kid so sure that polytechnic don't teach us how to think? In that forum, even uni students was arguing with that kid. Guess what reply did that kid give?

"Anyway, your course in uni isn't that good"

I cannot imagine people like him getting into med school in uni. It will not benefit man kind in anyway.

That kid claimed that he/she is from a top JC and knew the important of having a good cert. Well, having good grades are important but able to survive in working society is as important. We heard of university. There is university of life as well. A person may be able to excel in the university but may not even survive in the university of life.

Grades are certainly not everything in our lives. Grades are important. Other aspect of lives are as important as well.

Disgusted,
Don
