Pain with No Gain

We need to recognise that we are dealing with life-changing issues. I do not know what would have happened to me if I had not made it to JC. There is a good chance I would be doing something completely different today. Others have not been so lucky. It is plainly wrong and illogical to deny a bright student advancement, or to disadvantage him, simply because of a weakness in second language. The sooner we pry this albatross from our necks the better.

Our whole fate decided on the basis of whether we can jiang huayi. Where is the fairness in that?

Well said! I shouldn't be denied university entrance for my low marks either... Who knows? Maybe for my weakness in A'levels I may end up top uni student of the year?!

Cheers!

Chinese Coward

What you say is only partially true. If Chinese is a subject which is treated equally like all the other subjects, then fine. However, if I fail Literature, or Geography, or History, or Maths, I won't be denied entry to University. But Chinese? What is so special about that?

You are sooooo right!
What's so important about Chinese, Literature, Math, Geography or History and low marks!

I could have been the STAR scorer in NUS if I failed all subjects at GCE A'levels!

Waliao~ Why do we need Chinese? Bloody hell~ Why do we need to pass English? I one Hokkien expert can oredi! LOL~

So not partially true, all true~
