Driven To The Edge Of Contemplation

Before this comes a phase where you like being alone.
Lots of more stages in between. But it's all irrelevant.
My titles are getting more and more non-comprehensive.

I recently read the Star and saw the comments sent via SMS by a reader that had "an hotel" in it.
And we actually learn this in kindergarten. If this is taught and the mistake is still made, will grammar education actually help improve the standards among Malaysians? All educators I know say: No.

Malaysians are pretty good at getting what we want. Only thing is sometimes what we aim for isn't enough. What's with all the memorizing in school without practical application? No one knows really how we use additional maths in reality, maybe in physics if you're an engineer, but who knows what else? Does memorizing everything by the book help us discover things? Does memorizing make us smarter?

In Seafield we don't have too many juicy tales of mishaps and follies of students, maybe the too often epic failure copulations and the way some of us treat toilets. But we have people in all forms, shapes, sizes and intelligence memorizing facts and reciting books short-term.
Objective?
To get flying colours for each and every examination. A fine goal, be assured.
.....But let the flying colours fly by each and every time, and learn absolutely nothing each year.

We produce many straight A students, but why don't their results reflect their capabilities at all?
Our school system kills creativity and innovation.
Face it, embrace change, adapt, or get wiped out.
