Ok, let me start off by saying....
"I chose this picture as it reflects on the MOE coming to our school to evaluate on our school standards etc. when they already know about it. Why would we lie of our standards?"
THIS IS THE LAST POST OF THIS blog assignment :)
Now back to the assignment...
"I chose this picture as it reflects on the MOE coming to our school to evaluate on our school standards etc. when they already know about it. Why would we lie of our standards?"
Victoria School has always been a school that holds strong, upright values that have undeniably nurtured young boys like me into a man. (certainly) A man who holds the values of a Gentlemen, Professional and a Sportsmen.(i agree) A man who never fails to climb up from where he has fallen. He instead gets even more imminent to reach his 'summit'. Let me put it this way, perseverance triumphs above all. Here in Victoria, the teachers, the leaders have never failed to give a good impression on the students. Discipline is another strong root of this institution. (no doubt) When all the necessities are already available, who can stop us from being successful? (good question...) Don't agree with me? Want an example? Let me give you some examples: our own His Excellency S.R.Nathan, Mr.Teo Ser Luck and we have chiefs of armed forces.
think that is enough, unless an interview's wanted)
Wait!! What? Interview??? With who? The MOE? I think i have gone too far, i am not interested too go for an interview! To speak well of your school is something else. But to be asked questions is way beyond imagination! No, no, no! This isn't going to work for me. I am not capable of this. I am not gifted to speak imprompto. It would take me time to think on what to say. Like just now. And by the way, i am not experienced in doing all this stuff. Believe me, i would screw it up.
Exactly. This was absolutely the same way i was thinking when Mr. Maran called up my name together with some 20 other Secondary 2 names to be interviewed by staff from the MOE. Those dreaded staff were visiting us to evaluate our school standards and achievements as apparently they did not believe how great our school was. And thus they wanted to see it from their own eyes. I mean, why would a school lie about their standards, their students and attainments. What would we get from that? Can MOE please face to reality? Aren't they the brains of education? Well, maybe it is true that nobody is perfect...everyone has a glimpse of stupidity within them. Just joking!!
Anyway, among the group of about 100 students, we were divided into different schedules and dates. Me and my classmate, Jonathan were among the 15 students to be interviewed on the 16th of January. On the big day, i was seriously calm (of course, i was going to talk crap), and ready (to make Mr. Maran happy). When i entered the room, there was nobody there, and thus i sat there with the group of students awaiting the arrival of the interviewer. It turned to be an old lady (not rude, but just describing) who kept smiling to herself. She kept asking questions that seemed easy, but no ideas rang in my head. All i could do was show the helpless smile, that captivated her even more to ask me. I managed to answer most of her queries though most of my thoughts became words of someone else's. (we think alike, or maybe we were trained to have the same answers) Only minutes had past when i looked at the clock that had instead marked the end of the interview.
All in all, it was an enriching experience. To speak for your school, is a gift hard to achieve after all...
