It is not about being mathematically or scientifically inclined
just because you do well in maths and science exams.
You will find most of the mathematical or scientific geniuses who
came up with the freaking stuff you have to learn in school today,
took it from a real situation and converted it into a formula. They
disprove theories and get laughed at. They fail but they presevere
on until they can package the idea formula nicely and proof
it.
In Singapore, the education just makes students regurgitate the
theories but not learn how to argue any of them. Even if the
student tries arguing against the theories - they get hindered by
teachers who clamp them down by virtue of the Textbook being the
LAW. Effective curbing of any real creativity .
