So True


The issue of changing maths and sciences back to bm is still being debated...
And in this Article of The Star ,this person has a great opinion that i agree on.
Change the content ,not the Language .
Been a former malaysian educated student myself(currently studying O-Levels using British Edu)i find a lot of stuff in the syllabus not only unhelpful but completely idiotic .
Why waste a hour in school studying Sivik a subject that most teachers themselves have no clue to purpose of the subject .
History was has been screw up due to some racism issues ,but lets not get on with that.
Dr Mahathir has done a great deed in changing these 2 subject to english and some idiots would would want to spoil that .
Concerning those that want Bm to replace English in Maths and Sciences
My opinion on them is that they are ppl who are short sighted.
They believe in Bm they or their children may get better results.
But they do not stop to think what would happen if they were to study overseas .

Coming back to what that citizen said in the paper ,he/she believe that there is no point of lowering the passing grade to 30% or 40% ,and have kids learn nothing .It could not be anymore true .Passing when the grade is lowed is only cheating yourself and nobody else .Althought i have indeed barely pass with a 40 or slight more to escape the consequences of failing from my mom ,it does me no good .But it does tell me that i am not doing good enough .

Quote from that article
"We need to allow our kids to be kids and not pressure them into being able to churn out .As in all their exams .We need them to think outside the box and not just reproduce everything through note memorisation ."
Could't have put it better myself XD
kids should act more like kids.Including me for trying to act more like an adult in this post but no worries ,I'm still filled with child like wonders xD
Thinking outside the box...Now there something a lot of malaysian can't do
Doing O-levels ,i have my brain worked out like crap...
Timothy ,if you are reading this and u don't agree that is because u are smarter than me xD
which i am not embrassed to say .
Although our homework is not as much as what the government schools are giving .
Our homework does not come easy .
What i remember in my time in Seafield studies was memorize memorize and memorize
Moral = Memorize
Maths(nothing to comment here because maths is all based on experiences and work)
Sciences =Memorize ....we read what we have in the book and never ask why?why can't we do it that way why this way ?no its all the same way
BM= memorize a bunch of fancy words to put in our essays and memorize the novels
Sej =need i say more??

Another quote
"The problem here is not one of losing one's identity or heritage .The children of the elite of all races are busy being edcated oversea and have no problem speaking in English and still maintaining their heritage.
In face,they are probarbly more protective of their heritage than the average man on the street.
Think carefully about exactly wose future will be affected ."

This has values of its own that need no explain itself.

So for now i will no continue .
