Examz....r they important???
From primary school to the end of our tertiary education, v students face the daunting task of preparing for examz every single year.So much time and emotion is poured into preparing for examz.Advocates of the system contend that annual examz are a good way of training children for the stress of life after school-where deadlines and sales quotas nid to be met and work completed methodically n wif minimum fuss.Gimme a break!!!Government examz are also said to be the necessary yardstick 4 measuring the capability of each person 4 further education or employment.Yet, r examz an accurate yardstick?A person's true abilities may not b shown by written examz.Take my grandad 4 example,he was a schl dropout n yet he bcame one of Kampar's gr8test money-launders!Clearly ,some talents n forms of ingenuity go undtected in examz.Anothr prob related 2 examz is tat our teachers bcome 2 exam-orietated!They race thru the syllabus so tat they can cover up everytin in time 4 the examz regardless of whether v hav understood any shit* they tried to 'teach'.Some students are juz so damn occupied wif their studies tat they dun develop their potential in othr fields.One gal in my class 4 instance, doesn't noe any othr stuff xcept maths formulae n science xperiments!she wud b juz so blur if u were 2 ask her whether she new Barrack Obama!Imagine tat!Its is true tat there r many clubs n societies in schl .However,many of them juz dun hav the time 2 make full use if these stuff.They hav 2 STUDY...STUDY and...STUDY!!!So our emphasis on examz is indirectly producing ppl who r oni trained 2 study n reproduce facts rather than well-rounded individuals.I noe its like totally impossible 2 do away wif all the examz but they shud b given less importance.Instead of basing entry qualifications one 1 exam,v shud also b evaluated thru the cumulative marks of tests n assignments.
