___4e1. Devils in disguise__

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Instead of fighting to be at the top of position, why not we help each other, and get everyone of us to the top together? This way, stress level will decrease and the atmosphere in our class will allow us to express ourselves more freely.

Scheming and plotting to kick one away and give oneself an edge higher against the other adversaries within the class will result in a backfire for one instead. Put it simply: When you hurt others, you hurt yourself in times to come. In the end, it becomes a lose-lose situation.

If we are to compromise and help each other in our weak areas, there is possibility that all of us will make a mark in the 'O' levels and be all-rounders, instead of 2 extreme ends: The people who manage to go to the JCs and Poly vs The people who go to ITE.

I understand that being top in class is everyone's desire in our class. However, the position did not state that it is meant for the One, the Almighty number 1. There is no limit to the number of people taking the position of the top. Also, one is not able to stay on top forever as there will always be someone better than one.

I would like to respond to JW's post about our class too.

We should simmer down our ego, reduce our cravings and accept teachers' comments from a positive point of view, rather than accumulating hatred and jealousy. Take their comments into consideration. Question ourselves. Are we being too complacent? Where have we gone wrong in the doctrine? How can we rectify the problem? The comments like teachers telling us that other classes are doing better than us are reminders only.

I understand that teachers have high expectation of our class, but we are humans after all! There are some misconceptions that I would also like to point out:
-Being in 3e1 means that we know "everything" under the sun.
-Being in 3e1 means that we are the "cream of the level".
-Being in 3e1 means that we do not need the teachers guidance in learning.
-Being part of Sg's ed sys means that we must abide the "TLLM" in learning "law by law".

Why did I point the acronym out? I feel that it works better for the elites than average students like us. Also, some have also used it as an evasion from doing extra teaching. In other words, misconceptualising and using loopholes within the scheme.

Here's another 1 hour session for my views. If anyone's offended, please give me a nudge on MSN. I hope that this post will give the class some opinions about this issue. Farewell and hope to hear from you soon!
