its not the system. its the elitist mindset our erm.. parents instilled in us..Originally posted by hiphop2009:OEI!!!! please stop these JC Poly student nonsense......no point pointing hands and scolding each other....so wad if u are a JC student? So wad if u are a poly student??......it is the different system dat separates, wad is the big deal??
since you already said, there are more poly ppl, naturally there will be MORE retainees in poly. addtionally, poly course is three years so more ppl who stay back. in the first place, i didn't say i was hardworking, so it must be cause of my intelligence that allows me to pull through promos and yet still cope comfortably through.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:well...there are people who fail their promos and have to stay for a total of 3 years...so its that wastage?
so if JC students are so hardworking...why are you still spending time on sgf and clubbing?![]()

[b]JC students
- Realises the importance of education for their future.
- Often misunderstood for being nerds.
- Some were forced to go JC.
- Mostly consist of the better students from secondary schools.
- Most do well and go on to universities.
- Great potential for future success.
- Have to be patient to see success due to many years of education.
- Patience and hardwork will eventually pay off.
- Long term solution.
Poly students
- Do not really fancy high levels of education.
- Chooses the easy way out.
- Prefers to go into the working world asap.
- Often portrayed to be cool.
- Mostly consist of average students from secondary schools.
- Not much potential for great future success.
- Often end up taking average employee positions.
- The better students try their best to get into local universities.
- The not-so-good ones either start working or go overseas universities.
- Short term solution.
What I mentioned are merely general remarks. There are of course JC students who fail in life and also poly students who become CEOs, but let's just keep this discussion in general. No point referring to special cases because how many of such can there be?
There are pros and cons for either path of education that you choose, but make sure you choose the correct path for yourself. Some JC students realised that they can't take the stress and went to poly after wasting 2 years, while some poly students realise tht a diploma can't satisfy their career ambition and were forced to get a degree abroad.
In conclusion, just be happy with whichever path you choose. There is no need to compare yourself with other people. JC students, don't think that you are superior to poly students just because you will hold higher positions than them in the working world next time. Poly students, don't always try to pick on JC students just because you think they are nerds and uncool.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH AND SHUT THE (F)UCK UP AFTER THAT. [/b]

if no.then its wholly the fault of the so called elitists-if you want to point fingers.
so even without studying...you can pass through your promos la...that means JC must be super easy right...especially even you(with your pea brain intelligence) can make it through...Originally posted by xinyi!:since you already said, there are more poly ppl, naturally there will be MORE retainees in poly. addtionally, poly course is three years so more ppl who stay back. in the first place, i didn't say i was hardworking, so it must be cause of my intelligence that allows me to pull through promos and yet still cope comfortably through.
retain rate in JC is not high in case you dont know.
lol.enough la,brothers and sisters....make love not war!Originally posted by shinta:hmmz
assuming you are correct,then surely...these elitists are self deluding fools? why do you bother to listen to such morons? let alone engage in intellectually disabling discussions with them?Originally posted by shinta:yes they can.
they just have to think.. one has to be the best. no average. average = condemned
No my points are not biased at all. They are all facts. You see, this is life lah.. You cannot argue that a secondary 4 dropout can have a brighter future than a university student. This is life in Singapore, something which all of us has to life with. That is why I say, choose the path you want, be happy with it, stop comparing and SHUT THE (F)UCK UP!Originally posted by shinta:ur points are off... super biased.![]()
