Having a sister in primary school has its advantages at times. It allows me to understand what the hell goes on in the lives of primary school kids today. And i can tell you it sucks and it's totally different from what we used to experience.First thing first, i pity all children currently studying in primary schools and their parents too. Although i pity all children and teenagers under our education system, but at least, we got to enjoy our primary school lives. If you could just spare some of you time and do some research on the primary school syllabus, you would definitely be glad that you have gone past that age. Their syllabus is no longer as easy as ours. Full marks ain't as easy to score as that in the past. Remember the days when A and A* are taken for granted? You don't get them anymore. Students are no longer just the victims of this realistic, competitive and increasingly difficult education system. I know parents who suffer from depression just because their kids do not do as well as others. What else can we do? When graduates with university certificates are everywhere. Even now, certificate of graduation with honours are common. I can only say the later you are borned into this world, the more competitive you have to be. Be smart or else...=( Secondly, primary school kids are sick, sick and sick! You will not want to know the content of their conversations. Sick little brats. Thirdly, do not be surprised if primary school kids know more things than you. Do not be surprised that they have interviews with complete strangers over skype just to be a DJ on habbo. Do not be surprised that they listen to One Republic, Natasha Bedingfield or Leona Lewis and not Hi-5. Do not be surprised if they can recognise the singer just by listening to songs played on 98.7 fm. Do not be surprised they know more vulgarities than you. Do not be surprised when their music playlists contain songs of greater variety than you. No matter what, they are full of things that you never know about them.>.< |
