Well, apparently from my experience having JC batch under my 'tender loving care' tend to question authority more. Like "why must I do this? why must I do that?"Originally posted by wuming78:better in wat sense?

theres nothing wrong wif tt rite? in fact i would encourage all instructors to be clear with the trainees, regardless of their background and profile, on the rationale behind trg as much as possible. these daes, trainees r more discerning and learned, and they haf more channels to seek redress. so its better to get things out in the open.Originally posted by ditzy:Well, apparently from my experience having JC batch under my 'tender loving care' tend to question authority more.

well..they say poly recruits have more initiative and less complains whereas jc recruits tend to "wayang" alot n lots of complains...wonder whether is it becoz of the different education system that makes poly recruits more independent

Yes, I agree theres nothing wrong with that. But even the simplest of all tasks and I'm being questioned about my authority? Just get it done and over with.Originally posted by wuming78:theres nothing wrong wif tt rite? in fact i would encourage all instructors to be clear with the trainees, regardless of their background and profile, on the rationale behind trg as much as possible. these daes, trainees r more discerning and learned, and they haf more channels to seek redress. so its better to get things out in the open. -
i tend to believe these are generalisations, and the tendency of human beings to remember the bad and not notice the normal or the good.Originally posted by Aim@Me:well..they say poly recruits have more initiative and less complains whereas jc recruits tend to "wayang" alot n lots of complains...wonder whether is it becoz of the different education system that makes poly recruits more independent
there is only anecdotal evidence for these claims. as much as one may say "wu feng bu qi lang", i think we should take such claims wif a pinch of salt. -
think we haf to make it clear to them tt they can question the rationale behind things during trg, but when it comes to ops, there is no way questions will be entertained. its follow the orders or else.Originally posted by ditzy:Yes, I agree theres nothing wrong with that.

and also make it clear tt questioning rationale does not mean they can question the authority vested in the rank and appointment. the latter should not be tolerated. -
Yea, now we're talkin'... Imagine having someone like Ayukat under your wing. No pun intended, but it just gives me the shudders. brrrr...Originally posted by wuming78:think we haf to make it clear to them tt they can question the rationale behind things during trg, but when it comes to ops, there is no way questions will be entertained. its follow the orders or else.

in the end aloto traits we associate with a certain group of people can actually be used to describe the larger and more general group.
im not trying to protect any group. i was never an instructor before so i cannot make any comparisons. and so far my instructor friends have never made similar comments to me. -
totally!!! met JC peepz on busses and complain so much abt so crowded lah... then don't want to give up seats for an elderly couple carrying grandchild.Originally posted by Aim@Me:well..they say poly recruits have more initiative and less complains whereas jc recruits tend to "wayang" alot n lots of complains...wonder whether is it becoz of the different education system that makes poly recruits more independent -

For your info it all depends on individual's mindset & attitude regardless of education even those bo tak chew(no study) also can perform equally good as them.........Originally posted by Aim@Me:well heard from instructor friends in bmtc that generally they felt that poly batch of recruits r better than jc batch of recruits...any comments?? got some uni batch also damn slack & FU*KED up attitude also especially some MO's...
