School Blues

With increasing secularization, this aspect of education has diminished somewhat over the centuries. I think the need for paper qualification causes parents especially, to place too much pressure on their children to pass their exams with flying colours.

Shouldn't childhood be the best moments in life to recall?

I think the keen competition in schools has created an unhealthy environment for the children. Although there is some truth in saying the certs you have correlates to the success of your job application.
However, i still believe very much that everyone is special and there are certain qualities which need not and may not be reflected on the certs. The essence of a child's soul and the condition of the heart matters more.

And because the exam period is here, my tuitions schedule becomes so packed and it's really exhausting to my mind and hurting to my butt having to sit for long hours. i cannot cancel any lessons for any personal reasons cos' all the parents are here and they expect to reclaim their dictatorship of you. It's kind of hard when i've been my own keeper for the past years. It has nothing to do with having passion to teach or not. i mean i love teaching and I love the interaction with the kids (provided the kids interact, but that's an entirely different story altogether)

Oh well, i think it's just a paper chase society that i've to accept that i'm in. everyone is plagued by stress. so i do sympathise with all kids out there for having more tuition hours, less sleep and less fun during this dreaded period.
And for the adults, every morning they wake up, drink their cup of coffee and head off to work. After working for the entire day, they come back home only to have this monotonous process repeat itself over and over again. And i don't quite like this. Rather pathetic i find cos' i have to wake up so early in the morning just so i could talk to my mum. hectic life

Life loses it's meaning this way isn't it? I would never want that. Should there be a chance to actually choose.

Yawn. i'm sleepy now, when it's like 8plus at night..
