are the sheep to be blamed for getting lost, or is it due to the misguidence of the sheperd? do the teachers have a right to place the blame on us for fairing badly for the block tests? "i don't know what you all have been learning in the last term." they say, to that my response is "well, obviously we don't know what you have been teaching." but reality shows us that the onus of scoring is on the students and not the teachers but what then come to school for if not to rely on them for help and guidence? if they cannot do their job should something not be done? its not as if us students have a choice not to attend lessons, so in actual fact we are being subjected to inefficient use of our time. 'welfare loss', people. diverging off the original topic, and the principal is blind to such imperfections in the system. such is the failings of a hierachy. everyone looks up, so nobody's looking at the lowest rung. quoting Mr Lee TJ, "suicide", refering to the bottom as they become ignored and neglected. problems with different levels of power. like a democracy, people are trusting the people that they chose to make decisions for them because they cant cant trust themselves to make the right ones. such irony. but what gets missed most of the time is that the lower rungs make up the majority, and it is the majority that gives the leaders their power. the majority are the resources, the measurement of influence. As such, the school is essentially a place for the students, thus shouldn't the focus be on the welfare of the population rather than on the terachers or in the school's eyes, its own ranking and reputation? its gains nothing in defending the teacher's teaching ability. of course this may work to shake up the students and rouse them into a studying frenzy. it may have worked before thats why its being done now. but there is no ceteris paribus now is there? i hope their right.
