I just don't get it.

Why must we students do and do and do homework that the teacher will probably never go through properly or mark? It's just a stupid waste of time, and everyone knows that no one will take homework seriously in the holidays either, so the work won't be done well anyway, and adding on the fact that we're doing WORK on topics that we haven't even been TAUGHT yet.

Someone should tell that to the school.

About school, I've already started to worry NOT for my O Levels but for my NAPHA test and jogging sessions and PE lessons. Ironic eh? I don't just HATE those sessions, I DREAD them, but of course not as much as camp. After 3 years of jogging, my stamina doesn't seem to have improved and instead, my muscle aches last for 1 week instead of 2-3 days.

And I don't understand why we must cheer during jogging. I don't have to yell to show my class unity. In fact, if I WANTED to show class unity, I wouldn't cheer because then I can conserve energy to run and keep up wth the class. And yes, we all know that you have the stamina to talk after 2 rounds of jogging. Can you please be more considerate to those who get breathless after a few paces, LIKE ME FOR INSTANCE? Do you seriously think someone like that will be able to cheer along with you? **** you. (I'll leave the word to your imagination)

And WHY is passing a sports test compulsory? Do you know that some of us have to go through hell and BACK to pass that darned 2.4km? NAPHA isn't a physical fitness test. It's a test of physical COMPETENCY. It means that to pass it, not only do you have to be healthy(which is fitness), you have to be ace standard in sports. Don't think that you can expect that of everyone. It isn't possible.

I hate all of this crap. So what if its a sporty school? Doesn it mean that aesthetics don't count? It's just unfair that sporty people get the glory of doing well in sports but those talented in the arts barely get recognised and further pushed to pass a sports test they might never be able to. And that's to add on with the lousy system of counting the number of rounds you run in 2.4km(yes I almost had to retake my 2.4km because SOMEONE didn't count my rounds properly again).

Apparently, trying your best in PE isn't enough. But it you fail music, or art, no one even gives a second glance.

Just something I've always been angry adn puzzled about. It just isn't fair that everyone has a talent but only SOME have been born in the right time and place to actually be appreciated for it.
