okay.just as i was lying around,i came to a thought.i was thinking why i should study maths physics social studies geography malay biology if i were to work in a profession or have a career that does not require those subjects that i've mentioned earlier on.for example if i were to be a english teacher,a event organiser,a housewife or a counsellor do i need a knowledge of geography,social studies or even biolgy?those subjects are not even related to my work.that's quite ridiculous.i know we need at least the basic knowledge but if i were to be a english teacher,it
wouldn't be necessary to excel in those subjects or even waste my time studying subjects as it does not linked to my work or career.don't you think so?unless you're working as a doctor or engineer then you would need maths and triple science but it doesn't not require ss geog f&n and also english.but we need to pass english in order to go poly though courses like bio tech won't even care much about english.you see,i want to join mass comm or media and comm and i know it requires good english grades but we need 5 subjects to go poly despite the course wouldn't care much or less about other subjects.i mean we need to know the basic maths or science but why do the education have this requirements on having 5 subjects passes in order to have a place in poly when a particular course need only a few specific subjects?

why wouldn't the education system just take the subjects that we need in that particular course?like if i want to join biotech,i would need maths and triple science but that course wouldn't even touch on combined humanities right?or if you wanna be a historian,you wouldn't need combined science right?i know basic knowledge of every subjects is important but do we have to pass all the subjects despite the fact that
the course do not determined that particular subjects?why wouldn't the education system follow the education system in switzerland?they have vocational training which means you go to the course that you have interest in.that would be much more better.

i respect the education system in singapore.it's very tight and have a high standard but it's not fair.what i meant by not fair is that if someone really excellent in maths and triple science and wanted to join an engineer course but that someone couldn't just because that someone didn't pass 5 subjects or either didn't pass english.that would be wasted right.hmm,do you guys get what i mean?hope so.

that sum up my topic for today.i know it sounds boring but it'a thought for the day.
