the youngster

The significance of genius, brilliant, intelligent and whatsoever words similar to it is not by getting plenty of A's in study. Viewing the current atmosphere of our education system right now, students are trained by teachers to aim the A's. Most of them are so unwilling to participate in everything but study. The core reason is the way they study is like to score 24 A's in SPM. The mission of educating people now is out of the track. The purpose of learning is to understand the concept and comes with the development of critical thinking. We found that students in school in the modern age are simply not really understand the whole concept as they are the master copying or walking textbook because they are too good at memorizing with zero understanding. It is the curse to the young generation because to get A is easy as ABC by teacher spoon-feeding knowledge, spot questions in tests and exam, tuition centre and etc. So, what's wrong with them if not to have A's in hands? So, when entering the tertiary education, many got blunt and lost because there's no walking sticks for them to guide the journey. The youngster nowadays is in the worrying state as we have doubt either they are able to face challenges, creative, critical in thinking, enable to learn on humanity because the end product we want is not a humanic robot.
We do have to amend the education system in this country as the aim of philosophy of education is flipping away from our both hands....just like what Prof. Emeritus Dr. Khoo kay kim once said.

my quote today-
To always win in everything is a curse, because once to fail, it will be a great failure and hardly stand up because the losing of the pride. It is okay to lose sometimes but remember to know how to pick yourself up. The good thing about failure is a lesson to be humble in life

P/S: dunno why i'm so thrilled talking about education today...this is what happen when you linger too much with teachers in school.
