I'm still surprised that we don't have strict regulations on
private schools.... seriously, I don't mind having the directors of
degree mills bundled up and tossed onto the MRT tracks for
devaluing education....
But that said, some basic discretion on the part of the students
is also called for. I mean, come on, it takes four years of hard
labour on a full-time basis to graduate from NUS with an honours
degree.....
If it takes substantially less time and effort than that, then
obviously something is wrong. No one can friggin' get a reputable
honours degree in just 1-2 years of part-time studies.
Unless if you're William Thomson (1st Baron Kelvin), that
is....
unfortunately, degrees are not created equal .....
I'll say that I did not graduate from a top tier ivy leaguer,
but I'll say this for a fact all the same .....
one of my dad's ex students has got a "degree" before even
graduating from ITE .... go figure ....
