LazerLordz SG It's refreshing to hear that from someone your age, coz many do not see what NCC is all about in the first place. But again, it should be a voluntary choice to join and leave, not enforced or threatened.
hisoka SG well you did the right thing by posting it here name the skool and all too if its really as you say it. if the principal don’t do anything you should go to the press…........
Pitot SG Most schools require a student to have a CCA if someone where to join and it is his only cca, he will have no where to go if he quits.. And some schools also allocate students with no cca one, leaving them no choice but to attend tt CCA.
LazerLordz SG he's worried about making a big issue. Anyway, there are only a few schools with IP here.
hisoka SG true i suppose but his friend's case about detention is really dumb..... maybe he can make noise after he grads after all O lvls is not revocable by the skool unlike the stupid university degree
LazerLordz SG Yeah.Sigh, you know, schools during our time, were so much straightforward..and I can remember the simple joys of running around the quadrangle during my primary days..
Pitot SG CCA now plays more and more a part in a students life. Playing truant for CCA is just like it for class. So you get the same punishment. Besides, getting detention is good enough. Some schools have caning.
LazerLordz SG It's a whole load of bull.If it were me in this situation today, I would have gone to the press and terok terok whack the school's reputation over some detention and the disparity with the actual definition of CCA and "improvised" definition. I had my fair share of battles with school administration in the past.And they never got the better of me. The parties responsible are getting out of hand.It's time for a serious policy review.
Pitot SG That is why they changed the name from ECA, EXTRA Curricular Activities. To CCA, CO- Curricular Activities.
kenshin_himura SG how long r u into this ncc thingy?? few mths? as long as its not more than a yr its quite ok.. however regarding the detention thingy.. quite common lor. Its like a measure to prevent pple frm skipping ccas and noe the importance of it but trust me tey not so bo liao to always give detention one lor. if u hate it, just dun go and soon ur name will fade away from the attendence list.. some of my frenzs are examples. Aniway chior is mroe than enuff to keep u occupied. Eventually u will have to drop one cca as 2 is quite heavy for sec. Chior is especially heavy compared to NCC. The amt of cca pts u can chalk up with chior alone can give u an A. Trust me just drop ncc if u seriously hate it and can't kope with it since takin up 2 ccas isn't a policy in ur sch.
hisoka SG nay the case was he wanna change eca and not allowed lor not like he play truant theres a diff from classes. the eca were supposed to be by choice. and it seems its not compulsory since there is no requirement to have the eca for advancement
LazerLordz SG About the fact that many kids cannot take physical punishment. But your case is different, you do not want to join NCC in the first place...so relax man..
hisoka SG i used eca cos i feel its the same the cca term is just a rebranding exercise liek calling bus drivers bus captain or toilet cleaners sanitary officers or something
LazerLordz SG I know.To me..it shall always be ECA.Fun days too..played rugby in primary school and can see all the cars and trishaws riding past the field
Pitot SG The reason why they change is because they expect it to be part of a students life now. Thats why all the punishments for skipping cca. But the prob is, many students dun have one or just cant select one.. So, the school just allocate one to them.. Which in turn is one they do not wish to participate in.. I mean if you dun wan to participate.. but u are forced to attend.. So many just skip their ccas.. which dosent help the prob at all..
