Exams!!!

White of High · 08 Jan 2004, 21:53

I know here are lot young people who are studing in university. I open a topic for our complaints. Tomorrow I'm gonna pass an exam from regional economics geography (I hope this name is right). It will be from USA, Latin-America, India and other Asian countries (Myanmar, Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.), Caribbean Islands and Pacific-ocean Islands.

Why a hell I must learn the economic of Barbados, Vanuatu, Tonga and Grenada? Why? C'mon! Let here your complaints!

Hey, you never know.

When I was at school I hated swimming.I asked the teacher if I promised never to go on a boat could I drop out?

The answer was no.

What happened?

I ended up spending two years on cruise ships

Swimming sucks mouse... i know.. i hate it.

Okay.. but it never hurts anyone to learn about another country White. I know what you mean and what you are saying here. But still.... i wish i was at school and was learning those things hahaha... work ain't everything.

White of High · 10 Jan 2004, 23:47

moshachic!

I don't understand your writing. Is it slang? I hate slang! I can't speak English very well...

Tim · 10 Jan 2004, 23:52

indeed it is "slang", or how you will call it. It is hard to read, kind of a sms/msn/wap language....

THis is the reason why people are not able to write good any more, i think.

I dislike the way the whole education system is at the moment. The introduction of SAT's has a lot to answer for. The amount of pressure put on primary school children is immense. I worked in a primary school for 14 years, I left in November 2003. Some of the children made themselves very ill by worrying about the exams, failing them and letting themselves, parents and teachers down. I know they are talking about changing everything again - I hope it's for the better.

Good luck with your mocks.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Although it is nice to pass first time it is not the end of the world if you don't. I went back to Uni four years ago at the age of 44 - you're never too old to learn!!!!

Love
