ya ya.. its not a good jobOriginally posted by hisoka:true
but if its the kids i cannot and do not want to get them into trouble because they are just being mischeivious.
But if the teenagers want to be funny and they have the minds to think. then i feel ok punishing them.
pros and cons.
sigh, doesn't sound like got good job
anyway u'd also learn that punishment is not the best way to handle problem kids. -
you ever see schools which pressure the students who score Cs to drop the subject even when the student shows interest in it?
because it'll pull down the school average...
principals are now just bean counters... nothing more..
it's a sad cynical world we live in when schools are more interested in showing that they have achieved "SQA Award" and whatever.. and the management is more interested in those things than the actual education of the children...
and hisk, please don't join the education industry? your asking about how to go about circumventing tests for various jobs already say a lot about your not being suitable for this noble profession...

Yep and my friend in J1 got retained together with 200 other students because they had to pass every subject to get promoted.

What is it you find interesting that you want to learn?Originally posted by hisoka:I don't know, so far no job really interests me. I guess i would be far happier if I was rich enough to not work. then i can go and do some interesting stuff and learn. As it is I'm poor and need a good job so given the lack of interest in others, passion about a job isn't exactly a criteria I'm looking at
Working offers you that opportunity too and you get paid for it.
I mean if you wanna talk about "I wish I don't have to work and still survive", I believe most of us feel that way lor
But if you don't start somewhere you will just drift. -
I have been part of school meetings when I was doing relief where teachers would discuss on how to improve work for express, normal acadOriginally posted by the Bear:you ever see schools which pressure the students who score Cs to drop the subject even when the student shows interest in it?

and when time to discuss normal tech, they snigger and laugh and say HENG AH, no need! -
Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:pls dont teach if u are going to be bochup~
it pains me to see people who really don't like kids enter teaching
i almost got into teaching too.... but cos of a miscomm somewhr somehow i din get the job...
i love to teach i just can't stand kids!! my friend who's a teacher sternly warned me NEVER say tat during the interview... i told him ONLY if they dun ask me -
i flunked every subject except for GP in JC1 and still got promoted..
i never passed a single test...
in the end, i ended up with 4 A-levelsOriginally posted by stellazio:Yep and my friend in J1 got retained together with 200 other students because they had to pass every subject to get promoted. -
Yep, if you find a job that you like, you never have to work a single day in your life.
sadly for me, that is football. -

I still don't get why you guys think its wrong to try learn how to excel in an interview process -
thats the way its supposed to be.Originally posted by the Bear:i flunked every subject except for GP in JC1 and still got promoted..
i never passed a single test...
in the end, i ended up with 4 A-levels
but the principals nowadays care more about sch image and their academic achievements etc. and waste 1 year of a person's life. -
maybe if u don't like kids, can try out adult training too~ much less of the issues that need to be considered when working with children and teenagers!Originally posted by tare: i almost got into teaching too.... but cos of a miscomm somewhr somehow i din get the job...
i love to teach i just can't stand kids!! my friend who's a teacher sternly warned me NEVER say tat during the interview... i told him ONLY if they dun ask me -
hahahahhaha i only had 3 A-Levels.... cos I dropped Maths after flunking for an entire year... immediately after i dropped it, my econs grades shot up! haahahahahaOriginally posted by the Bear:i flunked every subject except for GP in JC1 and still got promoted..
i never passed a single test...

I don't get it ... econs is really all maths, no ? ... or perhaps I've been taking the wrong electives ? ... -
You're so right....in a nutshell....esp the passion vs reality part.Originally posted by KittynMeow:Sometimes I find that Singapore is a place of irony....
we have low unemployment rate and yet pple are not happy in their jobs...
we have the latest communication tools and yet pple hardly talk to each other, much less communicate (esp between couples... so many marriages fail due to lack of communication)
we have a strong economy that minimised problems of poverty and everyone have the luxury of earning a little bit more... yet it's always not enough... esp if we want to pursue our dreams / passion....
we have passion to do things that we really want to do, but challenges in reality like $$ are reining us in....
what kind of an unhappy state we are all in.... hahahaha -
nope, econs has alot more bullshit in it then just maths.Originally posted by Fatum:I don't get it ... econs is really all maths, no ? ... or perhaps I've been taking the wrong electives ? ... -
No idea.. but i Heard it was supposed to be quite luxury heheheh by our standards. got pics of it on the multiply page.Originally posted by Fatum:was the endau trip a trekking trip or a river portage trip ? ... -
you still don't get it do you?
we tried to explain to you that they are trying to find a good fit for the job.. all you wanted to do was to cheat your way so that you will look good for the job... it'll only end in tears for both the company and you...
heck! even in no-consequence psychological tests and stuff like that, you're more interested in getting the 'correct answers' when there are none... they're for you to assess where your strengths and weaknesses are, not for you to achieve a certain grade or something...Originally posted by hisoka:yeah been at the mercy of such policies, I could only take 7 subjects in A lvls.

I know lah ... theory and all that ... but the foundation of everything economic is mathematics ...Originally posted by stellazio:nope, econs has alot more bullshit in it then just maths. -
I guess I was able to handle the basic calculations in econs.... vs all those dy/dx stuff that I really suck at in Maths....Originally posted by Fatum:I don't get it ... econs is really all maths, no ? ... or perhaps I've been taking the wrong electives ? ...
besides, econs require theory-related essay answers ... which is something I'm really good at "smoking" out to score points... hahahahaha -
AAAaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Originally posted by KittynMeow:dy/dx stuff that I really suck at in Maths....
no maths.. plsss.. no maaaaatthhssssss
