Paragraphs 2 and 3 are truths, but this honours student relies
on material skimpier than a g-string to form conclusions that'd
make an Amish sound profound. 
"By Adeline Koh: Its no secret who's better
I hate to be blunt, but JC students are better than polytechnic
students, period.
Politically incorrect I may sound, but here are the facts. Entry
requirements at JCs are far more stringent than those at polys. As
a result, large numbers of students who do not make the cut for JCs
are "forced" to opt for a poly education.
Those who enter polys of their own choice remain the exception,
rather than the rule. Also, when the Public Service Commission
awards scholarships to Singapore's best and brightest, they look to
JCs, not polytechnics.
Yes, polys have improved in recent years, but there is still a long
way to go before the average poly student matches up to the average
JC student.
Sad to say, but this is an open secret."
