Is Majusri Sec School a good school?

Honeybunz SG

In terms of standard?
In terms of conduct?

As usual, there are always a few bad apples among the lot. Such judgments are hard to be made.

All I know is Gan Eng Seng school is a gangster school during my father era. Bo Wen Secondary school is a gangster school during my era. I personally witness them chasing the Ang Mo Kio secondary school across the roads underneath my block. Grey shirt against smelly green shirt.

Nowadays dunno which school good liao? Mr. Green

sgFish SG

never hear before >.<

I have never seen any good student in Majusri. (Sorry hor, if anyone here is from there. You may want to correct me, if you feel wrong).

My parents, aunties etc kept insisting that it is a good school just because of its Buddhist based. So what if it is a Buddhist school? It is not run by the monks. They don't impose strict rules and discipline like Shaolin Temple.

My mom even forced me to choose this school in case I don't get into the SAP schools around the East side.

From what I know (from the ppl there), every student will "go steady" as early as Secondary One. And by Sec Two, every other student will "join secret society". Nowadays still got this kind of thing one ah?

I have seen good students from Gan Eng Seng. I have also seen civilised students from Bowen. But what the farking hell is wrong with Majusri???
Is it because of its "strategic location" (being in the heart of Red Light District)????

FireIce SG

it's not the school, it's the students

not as if the top schools student do not "go steady @ sec 1" and "join SS in sec 2"

Honeybunz SG

Oh I haven't finished.... sorry....

A number of them (I dunno the exact percentage lah) quit school by Sec 4.
Some will come back after a year, some dun. The school actually allows that.

FireIce SG

i know of "top school" tt allow that oso

Xcert SG

depends on the principal of the school...Not just Majusri... Laughing Mr. Green

Honeybunz SG

ok... which one? Dun tell me RI hor. I will faint.

Honeybunz SG

I am sure good schools got secret society lah, steady lah kind of things.
But they usually have some good sheep also.

Like what I mentioned before... I have not seen a single good student in Majusri.

FireIce SG

go ahead and faint now

and it's not just RI Wink

FireIce SG

u have not seen does not mean dun have

i have 3 neighbours from there
one of them is the top student of his batch
in NTU now

Honeybunz SG

Apparently Majusri principal allows that lor.

My friend who works as a counsellor often goes to school to counsel the delinquent students or give talks at the assembly. When I asked him about Majusri, he only has negative things to say about the school cuz the discipline master always cry for help.

If I am not wrong, if I remember correctly, the discipline master ever got beaten up by the students or the students' "bradder" . And you know what is worse? The parents think he deserves it, cuz they say that he was too strict to the students.

Honeybunz SG

Oh really? First time I hear a ex MJR enter a local Uni. It is a good thing to hear lah, of course.

Which batch is it (which year?)

Xcert SG

so ur point in bringing this up is?

every school will have its own tales of ghosts...SS activities...teacher-student problems...early BGR...pre-martial sex and what nots...so it depends on the student...it's part of growing up I suppose... Laughing Mr. Green

FireIce SG

btw it’s Manjusri, not Majusri

Honeybunz SG

My point is ....
every school will have its own tales of ghosts. But none is as much as Majusri. Really.

SS activities... I always thought this is a passe thing already. Anyway, to have almost everyone in the class to be involved in that?

BGR thingy.... yes... even good schools have kids doing that. But Majusri ratio is 100%. Every single soul has early BGR there. Nobody there will say "I wanna concentrate on my studies first. BGR later."

Bad things are part of growing up, I agree. I wasn't a goodie student who only hold books everyday either. But to grow up in an environment with only 100% bad students and none good? The school is abnormal.

Teacher-student problem.... To the extent of joining gang and beat up the discipline master? Now the discipline master dare not punish the students anymore. He is afraid of the students already.

Honeybunz SG

ok noted.

mistyblue SG

its not the top school ... but its not the worse
