I AM NOT AN INTELLECTUAL! I dislike independent learning! Our dearest parents pay for our education, in hope that we acquire broader knowledge and learning when we attend school. Our educator: TEACHERS. Meaning, teachers do their part by educating, teaching and guiding us, before they leave us on our own to explore more in-depth info on a certain topic. Job well done for most teachers. However, things don't seem to turn out the way it should be for that particular subject of ours, in the case of our class and our fellow 'class-next-door'. I'm not saying that her method of teaching is wrong. Perhaps thats her teaching style, or perhaps, thats the way she thought we might or we would have learnt and mastered better, but its definitely not the case.
Its not easy when we are being introduced to a new chapter, having absolutely no idea what its all about, and we're made to do our own research in a group and thereafter, a project, presenting to the members of the other groups and following, a TEST! UNFAIR..UNFAIR..UNFAIR! Then, most of us would probably fail as a fact. This is not Project Work but rather, a matter of learning. The most frightening thing is that we will all be sitting for national exam at the end of the year. If she's going to carry on teaching us in this manner, I doubt we will excel or even pass. We suffered in 'silence' for two years. Third year's on. The class-next-door had it feedback to the pricipal, but it seemed a futile effort. I don't know. Fortunately, I do have tuition, or else I will be in the midst of the many question marks running through my mind, without any clarifications by anyone. That would be terrible. Really terrible I guess.
On a happier note, its the start of our one week school break! Instigating my excitement. Surprisingly, we don't have to return to school for extra lessons as much as what I had expected initially. Woo hoo! However, tonnes of homework awaits literally every subject. I'll take my time anyway that I could. hah!
