Regurgitation

My fellow generation of teens and myself are wasting away our lives each day.  Especially now with the current examinations going on. It was bad enough as it is on a normal school day, now I see my classmates rather involuntarily and subconsciously donating the time they have to work on their studies. It was hard enough to get their attention on a regular basis, now I feel like I’m trying to talk to a wall… maybe the wall would be a better respondent…

This is a sad sad scene. This not only just puts everything on hold, it’s a bloody waste of time. It’s that time again, where a major government exam approaches, I grow weary and start having the sensation to bash the education ministry. What kind of world do we live in now? One should be possess a more liquid system, able to flow according to the drastic and stimulating changes our world goes through. It is a new era, the conventional sometimes doesn’t work out anymore, and it has to step down and make way for the future.

More often than not, I have the urge to just go google some short course or youtube something, like maybe “How to make your own homemade grenade’. But yet, I cannot do so. Because then this pops up “ You have to study” “ You have to do your homework”. It may be a case of utilizing one’s time properly but usually just the slightest thought of studies totally kills of any other mood of alternative learning. Going on to Facebook, blog and Chat is one thing, going on to study and search for information is another experience in itself.  You could just aimlessly log in to facebook and wait for the wall to update, but with studying online , you still need to think. It is ,though with the usage of ICT, still a consuming task. This is from my point of view as a student, and I guess my fellows will feel the same, one just can’t split one self to accommodate that many tasks.

My schooling is disrupting my EDUCATION.

If I had the right and power to any kind of legal information when I wanted to and where ever I wanted to, would I have turned out a better, brighter individual than I am now? Leaves much to ponder.

Anyway, what I just want to say is: Don’t let a flawed system ruin your lives, JUST GO LIVE because the world has that much more to offer you and it would surely teach you more than the mouldy old textbooks =).

I'm not quite sure what's your issue with the education system, aside from the very obvious fact that we are learning some very redundant things and our education system lacks a certain flexibility in its marking scheme and that our education system is deteriorating each year and...

Okay, point is, I don't get your point. *scratches head* What I said doesn't make sense, but that doesn't matter, because I know you'll understand xD

My point is that if it wasn't so restrictive, mightwe might have become better individuals than we are now =)? And I'm still mad that no one cares enough to pay attention to me when I discuss CLASS issues e,g SHIRT. FRAK
