Talking about Dad, bismarck's dad sounds alot like my dad.
Talking about mother, bismarck's mum sounds a lot like my
mum.
Sigh
I used to do well for primary School and PSLE, even got an A for
Chinese which is easily my lousy subject. Did anyone care or
know?
When i reach secondary, I used to have a maths teacher who think he
is teaching university students. Many of us are struggling to
understand, or to grasp the concepts. In the end, many of us gave
up, while the cleverer ones manage to do well in the Maths exams.
So in upper secondary, we were given "lousier subjects" to study
because we "couldnt do Maths". Sheesh. Thats when I begin to frown
upon the SG elitist education system. But I still do well for O
levels, on my own. Who in my family cares? My dad always harp on my
past failures, which I considered irrelevant and unreasonable. Bo
pian, I LPPL keep quiet.
So it was a struggle in JC, and which this time round I did badly
for A Level. Sigh, many would say try to understand our parents.
But many of us are keeping quiet. Its not we dont understand or
trying to rebel or something, many of us I realised are mature
already, and keeping quiet is one mature way to avoid confrontation
and silly argument. Sometime, silence is seen as sign of weakness
or acceptance of our parents "reasoning'. I pity our generation of
youngsters, because of the present environment
Singapore has already developed into a super elitist education
system and more 'mechanical' society. Those of us who are
struggling are literally drowning, and still have to conform to
olden ways of thinking.
