count me in please.....pretty please?

just when assignments due date are their peak which is tomorrow, i would be please to roam around the field of knowledge to grab some insightful articles to brighten my day. after feeling much better inside out, i would take this opportunity to criticise the weaklings of how they should run my beloved mother land.

it is a well known media. recently, i have seen it in my assignment as well. there, i found an article that says you can actually learn without being spending long hours in school and after school. and it is irritating when asian countries are always replicated as model countries who torture their students by forcing them learn by heart to instill knowledge. the country so happen to be finland, which a few decades ago notice its own failure in education system. truth to be told, learning from mistake is the best lesson in life. by admitting defeat, only then fruitful success sails along.

it describes as their strategy tool in ensuring a successful education system is investing on quality educators, which is more affectionately known as teachers in boleh land. in the research study, it states that finland sets a very high benchmark in entering 5 year teaching degree programme and every teacher has a master.... wow! i guess, they did put a lot of effort in it. and usually only 10% of the applicants got selected into a tailored programme. in finland, they proudly present teachers as their respected educators which happen to be their greatest asset. i wonder what contributes to this such strong admiration. of course, if you have a good culture that instills respect and quality, who doesn't respect you?

in boleh land, the teachers, or i should say some of the them are just there to feed you directly with spoons. i wonder whether their lack of confidence, lack of knowledge and skill or just plain lack of enthusiasm that cause them to teach so dryly. of course, some are very enthusiastic. kudos to them. i acknowledged the fact there are still very qualified teachers in the education sector but them the new generation is giving me a doubtful look. first, the selection process. they do tell me, it is very hard to get a teaching degree. you must have a four flat result, meaning straight A's. I was quite shocked. initially, i thought i was under qualified to even be a teacher. a deeper thought gives perspective probably i am just not cut it due to some weird system.

as one politician puts it, "the system is only applicable for those who are not too fair, not too dark. only fairly dark is accepted. " i refused to be associated with such degrading system which chooses to discriminate me for skin colour. the only i can do is hope for the better.

it is also said that thailand is trying to adopt the finnish model but thailand parents are just too kiasu by sending their children to extra classes once they showed poor results. haihhh..... kiasuism is on the rise. can i be like the mat salleh, plain ignorant but smart? probably not, because i am too dark hence i am labelled as kiasu in the region i am staying.

and please, finland, can you please tell the boleh land people how education system should be run. and for goodness sake, entry level is so obviously lopsided and i often wonder, do they actually learn the term "merit" correctly. it must be the "hall dictionary" (boleh land direct translation) that must be fooling them around. please count them in please......pretty please? onegai, please, tolong, pai tuo?

blogger feeling another moment of silence for such a disgrace is being played out by other country. but the ironic thing is, the disgraced party doesn't feel disgraced at all but proud of the fact meritrocracy definition is fine the way it is. one vision 2020: epic failure.
