I think that what this person mentioned is worth sharing. Read it if you're interested.
Looks like there is a lot of good reviews for MI.
As I have mentioned in some other previous threads. It will not be a waste of time if you put in effort. It will only be a waste of time if you do not put in effort to study. I do admit that a good schooling environment will most definately help a student. However, that is not entirely true. The student has the larger role to play. Do not expect anyone to spoon- feed or babysit you. It's no longer in Primary school. I am sure Primary school these days encourage independent learning too.
How much you wish to achieve is entirely up to you. You can blame the whole world for not doing well. But ultimately, you need to reflect and evaluate if you have done and put in sufficient effort. Bystanders can give you all the advice they want, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, what are your goals or aims in life. What do you aim to achieve after so many years in the education system. I believe no path is a dead path.
For those choosing to go JC's. Do not be mislead that it is all pretigious and stuff. Because I have seen people who have failed, retained and had to do A levels again. I can tell you that embarassment is unbearable. I have seen my own friends having to re-take or some even worse getting kicked out after Year 1. Schools will always project how good their school are and reflect all the good statistics. I can tell you, its all a smoke screen. They are just trying to boost their own image. I have a good friend from one of the top jc (not going to name which one), after 2 years of A level, he attained nothing out of it. No UNI entry, and he had to retake his A levels and enter those kind of private UNIs in Singapore. How pathetic is that? It is a true story.
Life is not a bed of roses, there is only so much advice people can give you. At the end of the day, its all hardwork. Nothing but hardwork. Complacency always leads to failure. And that is what happened to some of my JC batch.
