I really want to beat up this irresponsible writer....

First, she is writing in the eyes of a JC student. She haven't seen the Poly side of education.
Second, she only used arguments that proves her hypothesis true.
Third, her arguments are narrow in scope and used a few example to prove her point right.
I should ask her, which student is industry/work ready after graduation?
I was a JC student by the way.

It's no secret who's better
By Adeline Koh
I HATE to be blunt, but JC students are better than polytechnic students, period.
Politically incorrect I may sound, but here are the facts.
Entry requirements at JCs are far more stringent than those at polys.
As a result, large numbers of students who do not make the cut for JCs are 'forced' to opt for a poly education.
Those who enter polys of their own choice remain the exception, rather than the rule.
Also, when the Public Service Commission awards scholarships to Singapore's best and brightest, they look to JCs, not polytechnics.
Yes, polys have improved in recent years, but there is still a long way to go before the average poly student matches up to the average JC student.
Sad to say, but this is an open secret.
The writer is doing English honours at the National University of Singapore -
rape, kill, pillage!
