Yes I agree with u on this point.
Not only about cca points. But in terms of recognition. I play
sports as well and I know for certain sports the national standard
can be really scary. I do not want to go into detail in defining
"scary"...but i leave it to your imagination.
Performing arts, on the other hand. They got this SYF thing. As
long as you join this SYF, and you're not really that bad, u will
at least get this "silver award". Unlike sports, (mostly
elimination), if you're out, u have nothing, which also means
you're not performing well. (which is totally assumption and
totally untrue). In ccas such as band, choir whatever you have,
even a silver is nice to annouce to the school during morning
assembly.
It is difficult to excel in a sport unless the school has a good
record in it. And have tons of DSA-ers..(or external help and
funds..).
Whereas for performing arts/other clubs, it is relatively easy.
Because such stuff are muggable and easy to improve over a short
period of time. For sports, you have to be good and excel in it
since young. Late bloomers or people who pick up later have lesser
chance. (unless you're a genius or something).
Well, screw the unfairness and lack of perception in the higher
authorities of the education system.
