And also don't forget that age is also a factor when you want to enter junior colleges.<br /> <br /> And the education system is pretty much flawed if i were to say. I have read my friend's JC notes, experiencing poly life, and have been in ITE for half a year. The only difference i can see if that JC's education is pretty general, something like Secondary sch, Poly is more practical and specialized, and ITE??? - I don't know, it seems sad that the workload is too minimal and they think everyone there is like buay hiao tak chek one when my class then were all from express stream and can't make it to poly only because they fail e maths.<br /> <br /> Sad system, but some people have to be at the bottom for others to be at the top. Cruel world. haha.<br /> <br /></p> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 23:59:10 +0800 sgforums.com:8:304858:7802851 AugoeideS http://sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/304858 <p>Dream on! <img title="Laughing" src= "/images/emoticons/classic/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" /><br /> <br /> On a more sensitive note, not really.
