the orange ~ weekly

wow.. is easter today =) and i will be having a 4 day long weekend (friday to monday). easter here is one of the big celebrations where there are sales everywhere. chocolates are one of the few things that fill the supermarket racks with mark up down prices with speciall offers and free gifts. by right, there is no relation between an easter bunny and chocolate eggs. and there is also no relations between easter bunny and the celebration of good friday and the easter sunday in the 1st place... complicated world huh??

recently i notice, there is at least 1 person searching for something which is mostly similar to my blog.. keywords like my name, 'the orange' and 'the walking orange' keep coming up in the statistics.. it really makes me wonder who the person is. hahaha.. anyway, at average, i have about 10 to 13 unique hits(according to nuffnang). if i take out 2 hits (usually is me myself) therefore, i will have about 8 to 11 people visiting my blog.. hahaha.. so. just want to thank you all for your time and support.. hahahaha =)

last weekend, i started posting about education during early life... here is part 2

part 2 (at high school)

remember the times when we spend lots of our times in high school?? for some of us, going to school will be the most hateful thing to do in the early monday mornings. dragging one self out of bed before the sun rises, getting ready in the cold and dark mornings, hop on a bus and arrive to being welcome by the noise of the ringing bell and the smell of sweat in school.

in high school, learning approach basically changes compare to early life. in high school, teachers either spoon feed students with vital information to score well in exams or, force feed additional information that students deem unnecessary or unimportant. subjects such as moral education is a total waste of time and energy. then, students are given pack to the brim time tables starting from early morning till the afternoons.

in classes, teachers will make students copy notes and do exercise. the student's understanding of a certain subject is then tested in monthly progress test and also in major exams. there are also assignments, projects, group work and also quizzes for the teachers to help students in either making the subject more understandable, or to measure how the student develop throughout the year.

all above are the usual education. but students in high school will be expose to many other types of education such as, social skills, leadership, and also communications skills. although this skills are not written in textbooks, but this skills are vital in becoming a better person. this skills also help people to discover hidden talents in them and make themselves stand higher than the usual crowd. stress control and failure tolerance is also as vital as the other skills is also being expose to the students.

making friends and learning how to get along with people is as important as many other important science or maths subjects. no man is an island. in high school, most of us will go through the phases of making friends, being in a group, being back stab (eek), and many more is consider the normal phases in high school. all this goes well under human relationships which is another thing book can't teach or guide students. getting along with people will be very important in the next step of education, as a young adult.

as a conclusion, high school education is more of a building block for students to be expose, both educationally, socially and also personally. these exposure is to help students to understand how to world goes round.
