So the government wants to know what people are feeling through blogs. Here's my opinion about the retarded education system which I had been trying to suppress for a long time.
As a student, I find ourselves studying too many unneccesary subjects. Taking Pendidikan Moral is a waste of time and energy and spaces of mind. So what if we can answer them in practical? You cannot guarantee students who study Moral will act morally.
So what if we study Sivics?
Three lessons of Sivics (I guess) and three lessons of Pendidikan Moral a week are simply wasting students' precious time. Studying Sivics and Moral are pointless, you can try to brainwash people, but I can guarantee you your brainwashing is so far ineffective and, worse, making students hate studying. So much for trying to make studying interesting!
However, all the important subjects, like Biology and Physics, are only given 4 lessons a week, while the unnecessary and redundant subjects like Moral are given 3 soporofic lessons a week. Why?
We have a lot of things to cover in three Sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and four lessons a week is not enough.
Why do I say the time is sparse? Well, let's see: First Monthly Test falls on March, and the holiday follows, and when the school reopens, it takes a week time to go through and discuss about the test papers. Almost one month gone.
Mid-year examination falls on May, which takes 2/3 weeks and 2 weeks of holidays follow. Another one month ago.
When school reopens during June, a week is used to go through the papers, and hence only one week left for June. And after three weeks of studying, here comes the Second Monthly Test, and another two weeks in July are gone.
Year-end examination falls on September and it takes 3 weeks, and it take another 1 week (minimum) to go through the papers.
As a conclusion, because of the seemingly unfinished examinations, 3 months in a year are wasted, and if November and December are included, only 8 months are left to cover all the syllabus.
And let's do the calculations: 4 lessons of Physics a week, one month we have 16 lessons and 8 months we will have 8x16 = 128 lessons a year, excluding any unforeseen events like talks, sukan tara, exams, 4 lessons are used for useless PEKA, leaving the remaining lessons around 90.
A teacher would know how confusing the subjects can be and how long it takes to cover a subtopic. To cover a subtopic in a chapter in Biology, it takes around 2 lessons. So for Form 6 Biology Chapter 6 "Nutrition", because of its incredibly wide syllabus, it usually takes a teacher to finish the chapter in 2 months time.
Imagine this, it takes 2 months to finish a chapter, and the remaining 8 chapters are needed to be covered in the remaining 6 months. And any teachers would know it's impossible.
And what's more funny is students are required to construct an experimental report without performing any experiments, it's like asking a students to complete an add.maths questions without writing any solutions.
This is simply ridiculous.
What about Sejarah? Let's see: 3 lessons a week, 12 lessons a month, 96 lessons a year, and how many chapters we have in Form 4? Umm...OMG! 10 Chapters! And how long is 1 chapter? It's about....OMG 35 pages....
Every teachers in the universe knows it's impossible to cover the syllabus in one-year time, ergo students are required to study the uncovered chapters by themselves, including Additional Mathematics.
This is the retarded education system in Malaysia: where a student needs to attend 6 hypnotic classes a week, sparse lessons of three sciences and two mathematics, and unrelenting stress owing to endless exams.
