Is the educational system screwed up?
Teachers assist students in their studies, but what happens when we get an inefficient teacher?
We suffer, our grades plummet, our future seems bleak.
Following the advancement to support the knowledge based economy, the education policies has made our lives like hell. What's with the ever-changing education system once every 2-3 years? We need to review over the fundamental block of learning.
The teachers.
Are people scrambling for the post of teachers just so that they can secure for themselves an iron rice bowl?
Or are there meaningful sustainable reasons?
I am sure that there are some who have a deep underlying reason for teaching and those who have the passion.
But I ain't sure that there are not any of those who apply for the job as it's a slack job.
Day in day out, go online, print notes, write on whiteboard, students copy, end of lesson.
Does the teachers play with our grades like that? That's selfish. Or is it cause the teachers are incompetent? They should go back to the school.
Maybe the plan to attract more teachers through higher pay should be reviewed. It's back to the drawing board for them. How can teacher's competence be quantified?
I see people who devote all their time to their studies. What does that do to their social lifes? Are they able to survive out in the economy? Being soft spoken and introvert, but bearing the positive attitude to follow the wishes of teachers and completing all the homework on time.
I wonder how they can survive in the Man eat Man world? Maybe the schools need to teach them some social skills.
They ace their tests, but can they make it in the real world?
