Education

I was in the conversation with Jia Wei few days ago and he impressed me. Haha, he's more mature mentally nowadays - i don't mean that he's childish last time ^^. Okay tell you the summary.

What happened with the education system today? What's the point to sit for those stupid exam that decide hundred percent of our future? There should be something wrong with the Education Minister. Children missed out everything - their interests, their hobbies, their childhood memories and fill up their primary school life with homeworks, exams, and stress. Excuse me, can't we just give them a chance to discover their own talent, at that perfect period? Education decides our future, absolutely. But why don't you let the child to choose what they want to be? Ask you a simple question. What is your interest and what are you going to do in future? I bet a lot of you can't get the answer, cuz you don't even discovered you own talent, and the question is, you are already 17.

Talking about Science subjects. We used to love the science. Experiments should be a lot of fun but now what do we study now? Memorizing whole experimental report? What the fuck... And why do we need to rely on text? You tell us how and we discover ourselves. Everyone loves to do experiment but no one loves to memorize the report. You tell us what is the apparatus, how is the setup, what's the diagram looks like and how the marks given in the exam; but how it looks like? We don't know. You tell me and i gotta imagine myself? Why don't you just show me?

Human ain't perfect but at least we must have the rights to choose our direction. We don't need your lamp, cuz we have our own torchlight, and it is enough for us to see our road clearly. Your kids love music, and you said music it's useless, your future will definitely vanished because of this - music is something abstract and you don't have any guarantee to success. So what, you forced them to take Bio and to be a doctor? Come on, they have their own life. Let them to make their own decision. Once they failed, then they learned. You protect your kids from falling , you makes your kids never learn.
