  I am talking at O Level Standard..
  
  I think the govt. will be losing a lot of talents who are mathematical & science inclined but not linguistic-inclined. I think they should have a different set of gauge for those group of people..
  
  What are you views?

  I feel that Singapore's education system is designed for left brainers...

  Although we are pump with infor and theory from young, but people like me who are very extreme really suffer alot.
  
  Mathematical & Science to very strong and Eng Language very weak.

  It is not about being mathematically or scientifically inclined just because you do well in maths and science exams.
  
  You will find most of the mathematical or scientific geniuses who came up with the freaking stuff you have to learn in school today, took it from a real situation and converted it into a formula. They disprove theories and get laughed at. They fail but they presevere on until they can package the idea formula nicely and proof it.
  
  In Singapore, the education just makes students regurgitate the theories but not learn how to argue any of them. Even if the student tries arguing against the theories - they get hindered by teachers who clamp them down by virtue of the Textbook being the LAW. Effective curbing of any real creativity .
