No rah....its becuz the school sponsor you all the $$ for it, then I believe they[the course company] count it by per head. Then if you people dun go, waste the $$. Its either you get your friends to go(which I dun think so, cuz I believe all will be going)...Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:My teacher told us that we are going to have a hands on course thing on june.
And the school is going to help us pay $200 for it.
Its complusory, and we will have to pay back the balance of $200 if we fail to turn up.
Is my teacher bullshitting?
Why should i pay the sch cash for not going to something that i did not sign up for?
Or if the teacher really force me to pay somehow.
Can i write a letter to MOE or something? Will i be able to win this "case" thing if i dont turn up?
They can waste for all i care.Originally posted by freedom4ever:i think all school are doing this right? last time i also got to go for some computer courses because the school already paid the courses. so, if u are not going means that you are wasting their money.

I just dont want to go for dumb stuff.
QUESTION AGAIN.
What are the chances of me winning this case if i write to MOE.
Whether the course is from a private institution or by MOE, if you fail to turn up, you have to pay back.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:My teacher told us that we are going to have a hands on course thing on june.

i'm sorry but i'll have to correct u on a little info.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Pay and don't turn up for course![]()
Oops, my mistake. I stand corrected.Originally posted by kopiosatu:i'm sorry but i'll have to correct u on a little info.
this little boy isn't paying for it.
we, the taxpayers are.
and this boy feels like he's forced to go.
well, the taxpayers are forced to pay for his/her education.
so i say, equal treatment to all. he jolly well go for something he doesn't have to fork out a single cent for.
But still i consider it a waste of time.Originally posted by kopiosatu:i'm sorry but i'll have to correct u on a little info.

completing 1 short RPG is constructive?Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:But still i consider it a waste of time.
Its like a 20+ hours course.
I could complete 1 short rpg in that time.
Or just go NLB borrow some good books.
The worse of all. The course is like 2months away from my N level.
Why do i have to turn up when i can use it to do something like more "constructive"
Err i read self improvment books like everytime? lol.Originally posted by kopiosatu:completing 1 short RPG is constructive?
borrowing good books, please define good books.
define your constructive events.
whatever a 16yr old does during his/her free time is seldom constructive.
are you going for courses to upgrade yourself for your future?
or are you going to hang around, stare at the screen playing DOTA?
or spend days 20+hrs on a short RPG?
are you going to help the sick and needy?
are you going to read books on self improvement?
so you tell me, what is constructive to you
ahhh... i see.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Err i read self improvment books like everytime? lol.
I go NLB and borrow some from time to time.
And i just bought this book named "rules of life"
The course is like some nooby finance course which only covers on the basic which i prolly know already. Which i am totally not interested.
haha, a common trait among youngsters nowadays.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:If you dont trust me then nvm. What more can i say.
You said nooby... shows how arrogant you are.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Err i read self improvment books like everytime? lol.

I gonna use the time to do some N level revision work too.
The course is like some nooby computer,design course which only covers on the basic which i prolly know already. Which i am totally not interested.
Considering what i say is true. Option 1 is a far more better option
If you dont trust me then nvm. What more can i say.
you don't even understand what i have said.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Applying it?
Can you enlighten me on how does going to this course thing makes me apply the things i have learned from books?
Its like blindly following something which i dont like right?
Why are you so sure that what you learn in this computer design course won't be of any use in the future?Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Applying it?

don't bother.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Why are you so sure that what you learn in this computer design course won't be of any use in the future?
Nobody said to follow blindly about something you don't like...
