Well, the exam results came back today and yesterday... So far I don't know English and History yet (and I have a feeling I don't really want to know). So far...
Maths: C6
Chinese: B4
Literature: B4
Geography: A2
Well, for a start my parents weren't too happy about the results. So I got a wonderful 45 minute lecture, during which I had quite a few thoughts about the whole education system and everything. Parents say they want their children to study so that in future they can excel in the global market... but has anyone ever wondered why? Is it even possible to excel in a market where everyone studies the same syllabus and has the same knowledge? It's like mass production, a mass production of young students who have never really experienced the joys of life. So what if you don't do so well in school? The reason why people excel when they do is because they have knowledge that nobody else does, like a chef has a secret family recipe, and like a person knows how to repair vehicles. The reason why Microsoft excelled is because of that little knowledge about coding that let the creator create Windows. KFC excelled because it had a secret recipe for making chicken that no one else could. So why would studying the same syllabus and the same subjects in the same schools and getting the same knowledge let you beat the rest? No one has ever considered that. Think about it.
