Studying is defined as a personal effort to gain knowledge.
Studying, in its most ideal, should be a session where both teacher and students are willingly and should show enthusiasm in both parties.
Studying, should at least require students to be aware of its purpose and for them to be able to appreciate and have a certain level of commitment in it.
But how many actually do that?
Nowadays, we see the purpose of studying fading away.
Of course knowledge still gets past down, but is it as efficient as before?
How many of us, still go to school everyday just for its sake?
What do students nowadays study for?
For the sake of getting knowledge?
Seems more for exams and tests for me.
People may argue that students nowadays are losing interest in studying and hence this education scheme will set them back on track and to 'motivate' them.
With the introduction of more and more forms of online entertainment appearing, people can be seen as losing interest in all other matters.
In my recent attachment to a school in Brisbane, I realised that the school offered subject choices for students, allowing them to choose their subjects like business, art, music, drama or electronics. This is based on their belief that different people have different strengths and they allow them to choose an area of their interest.
Is this anymore helpful?
Regardless, I feel that the interest in learning for students will continue to decrease.

In the practical world like today, nobody really cares about studying anymore. It's more for the sake of doing well, so that you have a bright future, a good life, and lots of money. The fact that this also applies to our school is undeniable, and that our lives are just like machines, we have got no life at all.
ReplyDeleteI like and obviously know that Australia students go through HSC, whereby English is the only compulsory subject they need to take. You are allowed to take a variety of subjects, some are not even offered as proper subjects in our school (which I'm quite disappointed). That type of education system really nurtures people with different talents, and that's what a society and country needs. Singapore does not need people who can be economists, scientists, debaters only, but it also needs food industry scientists, singers, artists to boost up its national icon.
