It’s 12.20am, I’m taking a break from my Mathematics homework and I realized something.

Why are we doing all this again? Homework, studying, et cetera.

Sure, with Mathematics and Additional Mathematics there are theories and formulae you apply that leaves remnants of consciousness years later. The tangibility stays. But what about Biology, Chemistry, Physics?   You blindly memorize, fill in the blanks during major examinations and all is lost when you start letting loose. Yet, the government insists on a mandatory of 10 subjects.

Why is our Educational Sytem, thus flawed, procreates a stagnant stage in which nothing of beneficiary gain is accomplished? We memorize incessantly, apply it all on one major examination and is subsequently ignorant to what WAS of importance once we’re done with said examination, once were in our "gaming phase", "socializing stint" or whatever it is we abstained from prior to the examination.

As for this _one_ examination, it’s an idiotic idea. Pretty much it’s;

1. "Hey kids, prepare for this exam or you’re screwed!"

2. "If you get sick, you’re screwed!"

3. "What’s that you say? You’ve got a slipped disc and an insufferably painful hernia in your abdominal area? Oh, and an excruciating migraine too? Out of no fault of your own? Aww… I’m sorry. I sympathise with you, I really do. Now go get your pen and papers or you’re screwed."

Really, they should apply what is currently being practised in higher institutions. Base your overall score on assignments, tasks, projects and of course, a minor percentage goes to a final examination. Makes more sense, no?

Therefore, I shall rebel. I shall not finish tonight’s homework, gear myself (packed and loaded) for the subject teacher’s verbal abuse tomorrow and will NOT admit to being lazy. I shall blame her, the school and its affiliations, the political leaders, the government, everyone! All those who have made me vulnerable and susceptible to negativity. To the cons of education and its adverse effects! I shall!

…But honestly, it’s out of laziness. Damn tired and really should have NOT spent all that time watching TV.

So yeah. I blame you, the government. You and your (my) unfinished homework. </excuses>

‘Night.
