DEAR 3E1 , Tuesday, March 31, 2009

I can assume that most people think that the school system of Singapore is stressful. Maybe this is caused by MOE's typical singaporean "kiasuness" or maybe the system is really effective and it actually works.Take waking up at 530 for example, is it really unnecessary? In my opinion, i would not want to change it even if i could. Do u guys want school to end later as a result of later school times? How about starting school at 8 and ending school at 4. Think about it. On normal days, it may be fine to some, it may "suck" to others but think about CCAS, Remedials, Supplementaries, Enrichments or other stuff such as school assemblies, field trips or class gatherings. Or you may want to consider the most important disadvantage of waking up late. Do you have time AFTER school to do homework, study and how would you find the time to pursue your hobbies and dreams? Also, starting school later would mean having more meals in school which wastes money.I refer to the topic on not being given compulsary homework. For diligent students, doing their homework is a simple task, much like going to the toilet. However, some lazy students might need an extra push to get started on their homework and this push is fear of punishment. Secondly, homework is made up usually of questions carefully chosen and compiled together by the teacher, the questions would probably relate to you have just learnt and would help you in your revision after school. Would you rather flip through hundreds of pages finding suitable questions to practice on? Why must we do homework? Try not doing homework for a year and you get the answer.I would like to ask, is 'STRESSFUL' really bad?
