time to get serious

introduction
You see, School is serious as everyone in this whole world knows unless your in some schools like Taman jaya or something, those are serious cases. Which includes 'gangsters' in there, perhaps a whole mob of nasty students. Next on, my school is just the same as everyone's (unless your in Taman jaya,blah blah).It has homework, less-outdoor activities (no swimming pools, :< ) and the worst of all, Extra Cocurriculm activities (school sucks, but take your time,you will yet to realise how difficult the soceity will be in the future someday). This is how education in M'sia works.

Like your parents (or even you dont have both, no offense)said, " Stay in School , Keep it Fun! " Obviously, i kept it cool and fun,.. but not for long. The strain of homework and exams put students in a horrible stressful state, especially those Standard 6 who were about to sit for their UPSR exams (too bad, with the exams over, the std. 6 are going crazy!-to be explained soon).
Ok, so if your school wasn't like that, you must be home schooling and stuff. Coming up next..

exams: the aftermath
----------------------

Of course, exams have their advantages and most of them are the disadvantages. Advantages are, : you may learn 'more' information, you may learn what level are you are currently. But as for disadvantages, i am not telling, for they are kinda filled up with horrible stuff. But i will tell you anyway. Ok, after the exams, everything changes completey. As you know, some engineers were working really hard on something (projects, big projects, not the ones you did in kindergarten). And after their excessive working hours, they tend to relax.. YES, relax.. But is it helpful to people( standard 6, again) after the exams.. No! As you know, angst ridden (or perhaps another symptom i presume?) kids (Std 6) usually behave abnormally due to their psychological changes and has something to do with the brain. (Never! You won't get nuts after this whole 'hominal change', don't get 'sentimental'!) And some students in my school never focus that well. Some kids like Guo Jun (i call him 'hopkins'), Taufik (not the indonesian badminton player, kk?) and some other of his 'blah' goons. They are very 'abnormal' as i say for none others in the school were as 'brave' and 'heroic' as them. Speaking of which, they 'play nice' and 'talk softly' to the teachers, but actually they did it the opposite way: they 'play rough' against teachers and speak rude languages and of course, they'd argued with teachers before.( Thank god, i wasn't one of them.) I had almost been staining my school record for some thing to do with home work. (no one likes them, unless your a nerd)I am usually the 'athletic' type of person, i dont focus on school work that hard and had never gotten an 'F' in my entire 'career' as a student. Well, you got to admit, being a student is hard, but gets harder when your older.

chp 3. home work

For your Information, i will be making this the final topic of this post, please dont be bothered to read this one. Thank you! (I was expecting a welcome, but nonetheless, nevermind.)

Let's see, i was one of the few students who had this 'pressure' on my back. Usually, home work dont come in kilograms but in metric tons! I don't really like homework, same as some others out there. And of course, passing up homework was a big problem as i am obssesively reluctant to. As for my group leader, she checks the handed-in books 'precisely', every single book. She is somehow bossy as i judge by her attitude. Sometimes, the teacher asks for who didn't do his/her's homework, this gives them a tight smack or just caning by the hand. It was just earlier this day someone got 'bagged' by our class teacher. My group leader is a homework 'eater' i dare say, sometimes homework goes in and *chuck* nothing came back to me. I was caned a few times but never got away with it. This might be one of the few 'curses' homework and projects ever did to me. Homework, sometimes there are tens or even fifteens of those, and worse of all, the assignment had to be passed up within a matter of days. Imagine having 20 subjects and a bag full of homework and assessment sheets, for a nerd, it might be heaven or hell for him but for every other normal students, this is some 'bundle of desperation'. The times when homework gets way lame or way-less, it's because the exams are coming or when the exams are over. I liked it when students are celebrating after the exams by helding parties in their houses or even clubs! But not for long, in some few months another exam will be coming. Even the holidays aren't enough. What's the point celebrating? Ok, ahem, back to the subject. Let's mention that homework is actually going to help you in your studies, but who needs them all when your already a grown-up and working as an occupation who dosen't even need those extra information. But heck! You need those, but not much, unless your a scientist who only learns 1+1 everyday. School is a 'concentration camp', but keep it cool, you will find something valuable and also feel if like a daily practice. Stay in School, do not lepak like the others!



hope this helps out all the other stressed out students,
sp out.
