according to many of my friends MI has a school population of
over 65% malays/indians ppl rather play psp in library than attend
lectures cause basically the teacher's teaching it dosent make any
difference whether u attend or not..Some science teachers even view
their MI students as "aiya this students already so XXXX.. we no
need to work so hard and use their students' laziness as an excuse
to their principal..the study atmosphere there cmi...
Ordinary ppl will come straight away tell u that "nvm as long as
u work hard u can blah blah blah.." but come on at alevels u r
competing with the TOP brains in this nation,to go MI and study
with those ppl while competing with the tops like
RJ,HC,Victoria,Temasek or even neighbourhood jcs like Innova and
CJC would be committing total suicide..
While i myself is only from a neighbourhood JC and when i look
at MI's papers its like (Heng im not there)...better go to a JC if
u can, try the neighbourhood ones if your score dosent allow you to
pursue admission to the top ones..if not poly like many of my
friends in MI eventually does after wasting like 1/2years
there..
big cable, you're just GENERALISING. first of all, have you ever
been in that school to witness what your friends said to you?
second, the sole reason why your friends from MI couldn't make it
to year 2 is because they are lazy. no other excuses.
to OP: no matter which school you go to, your ultimate goal is
to score good grades for the As. people influence you everywhere
you go, be it in a good or bad place, but ultimately, it is YOUR
resposibility to make sure that you score. trust me, not all MI
students are as bad as what bigcable mentioned, there are also good
students from that school.
