7:28 PM .jpg) School, one of the most hectic place on Earth. EVER.Studies are somewhat a mixture of boredom and fun, confusions and proudness. Never ending math problems, language's fill-in-the-blanks, science's solutions, humanse essays, music history, and many more. Sometimes it'll even gets really exciting when the answers are just a few steps or the conclusions a few words away. Temporary satisfaction's will then be brought to one after years of hardwork. Is it worth it? CCA, or Co-Curriculum Activities, are meant to gives a student to practise their "leadership skills" by planning and executing activities for their juniors, and perhaps, have a break from all the rubbish work given during curriculum time. Are you sure?! Stress, illness, headache, MCs, responsibilities starts to fill one's life as they grew older in this ever changing education system. Syllabus changes every alternate year with exam dates brought forward every year. Importance of CCA increases every day with many getting sick of it as every hour passes. Classrooms, a place where it was once filled with very interested and chubby kids, is now a much colder and hated place to be in. One's social circle expands faster then the ever expanding universe, collaspes faster then the speed of light, and can even hurt one like a meteorite. Competitions between students to be the best got surprisingly tensed, and conflicts between students therefore grew tenser with every minute that passes. Shouts and quarrels increases within students as they stood further away from each other. Students losing control of their lifes as graduation neared. Schoolwork, CCA, friends and outside-school activities started pulling them apart. Clashes are common. Sacrifies are necessary to piorities every aspect of study-life. CCA kills one indirectly with "it's for your own CCA points" as excuse. A chance for proud teachers to bully weaker students, forcing them to contribute off their limits. Teachers regularly self-praise themselves, taking their student's hardwork as theirs and lecture students for coming up with any work that's considered "not-well-done". Students' cries are oftenly not heard or ignored. Just what's exactly wrong with the education policy in Singapore. Or is it the school's at fault. Lazy staffs with and extremely unreasonable teachers. Students left alone in the dark, pressurized by the stress of schoolworks and the confusions of CCA responsibilities while teachers watched and laughed at students sorrows. I need a break. Sorry if I've stereotyped schools, teachers and the education system. I've absolute no intention of doing that. Of course there are some very good teachers among us, but what I've stated above were things that have happened or are happening to some of the students here.
