Students study in private sch.. are they considered STUPID? I will tell u one whole story abt my study life n wat my grandma thinks n u fig it out urself.
As u knw studying in local polytechnic takes 3 years. Studying in ITE: 2 years and if u r top 10, u can direct entry to Poly Year 2 of da same course, taking another 2 years. Total: 4 years. 3 or 4 years of study aft sec sch n da paper u will b getting is DIPLOMA. Wat if those pple who wans 2 study for degree? It will take them another 3 or 4 years! And at da end of 8 years, den u get ur degree!
Unlike A levels: 2 years for Junior College and 3 years for Milenia Institute (Jurong Institute and Outram Institute merge) aft A levels, they hav da choice 2go Poly or University which takes another 3 years.. total >> 5 to 6 years of getting da degree.
Compare 2 private schs like MDIS, INFORMATICS.. how long u study 2get a degree? I cant ans u yet coz i m still doing it. But allow me 2say for my Diploma.. i took it for 8 months. Advanced Diploma da duration is 1 year but i flung sum subjects n ended up finishing it in 1 year 8 months. Total no of years of getting those Diplomas: 2 years 4 months. (Frm Apr 2002 to Aug 2004)
I knw sum of u have a very pathetic thinking tat I FAILED MY Os n hence had to go 2 private schs! PLZ DUN HAVE TAT KIND OF PATHETIC THINKING! MY GRANDMA HAD TAT KIND OF THINKING (well coz she's old) but those pple who have da same thinking as her.. dun let me regard u as old too ok!
I will tell u my O levels results here. First try n 2nd try n u fig it urself, whether i am a failure or otherwise. FIRST TRY: Year 2000, took it when in Sec 5. 2ND TRY, retake as a private candidate..well only retake 2 subjects n i tel u y i decided 2study in private sch rather than local poly.
FIRST TRY SECOND TRY
ENGLISH D7 B4
(WOW! a whooping increase by 3!)
MALAY B4 No 2nd try.. pass wat no need 2retake.. wahaha
SCIENCE C6 Forget abt taking it again... I pass tat n tats tat!
COMMERCIAL STUDIES C6 Pass, no need to retake
MATHS C5 B3
(not happy wif da grades, so i retake! HEcK!)
So how wat do u think? I pass or fail? I passed! But y i didnt wanna go Poly? If i were to go to Poly... (Jul 2002 to June 2005) I WLD HAVE GRADUATE TIS YEAR NOT DEGREE BUT DIPLOMA!!!
But wat level am i now? Undergraduate.. Means already a degree student. I was vice chairman of my sec 5 class. My chairman also took O levels twice and he already graduated wif a Diploma.. Since he stayed around my area, whenever we met, he mentioned how was i doing n i tol him, alrdy in degree, he gave me a thumbs up. C? I chose 2go 2 private sch coz it is short cut! But y is it my grandma juz cant understand?! When i tried explaining 2her, she didnt wanna hear, all she said: Kau mmg bodoh!
First time, my O level; 29, 2nd time: 24.. Can go Poly but i chose not to DOES TAT MEAN I AM STUPID? IF I M STUPID, den those pple lower education more stupid is it?! Sigh!
