    Let me share a short rant. Once I was in one of those "prestigious" JCs. I was told that people who attend poly's and ITE are somewhat inferior. I was told that they are not smart, that they don't work hard, and that somehow they are not worthy as humans. That was how the society works, even among us students.
    Then I graduated, the straight A's made me feel so proud of myself. I got offered great courses from multiple Sg universities but chose to reject them to get a university education from the West. Fortunately, I got it, and then the next thing I knew my entire worldview came tumbling down. In my university marks do not matter nearly as much. The key question, instead, is "do you know how to make an impact on the world using your skills?" Well I got straight A's from many H2 A levels subject but that is about it...no application, no impact whatsoever. It took me such a long time to pick myself up and completely change how I think.
    Watching this video now, I really do respect all students who may not be "studying material" but are nonetheless working hard for a future, even if the society rejects and looks down on them. Entering university has made me realize that often, these are the very people who will in fact change the world for the better, not the people who think they are smart just because they can memorize things better, or because they have a very fortunate background that allows them much privilege. These "inferior" students are those who learn practical skills they are passionate about while we are cramping mostly impractical information. They are the ones who will often be more employable, unlike graduates from university who may struggle even more to find a job because they only know the theories but nothing more.
    You go you Pei Ying, the future is ever so bright!

      ITE you can learn hands on practical skill. Go higher learning is for knowledge all the theory. Its good to combine both and apply what you learn.

      @Moonface00z 5 років тому +6

      I prefer JC
      A LEVELS are universal. Meaning you can use it anywhere in the career whether you want to be a accountant to chef to electronics and engineering etc
      For ITE and polytechnics. You are fixed into a course subject
      You cannot change it unless you go study from the beginning to get the certificate

    • @Moonface00z
      @Moonface00z 5 років тому +1

      JC offers internship with popular companies. So the hands on and practical issue are irrelevant to point out

      @Moonface00z 5 років тому +4

      You can even become a certified MOE teacher or tuition center with high distinction of grades in JC. The pay is pretty awesome
      From each student cost hundreds per session. I have a friend is teaching O levels, A LEVELS and work as a computer network analysis. Both using the same JC certificate
      Later he got the money in just less than a year and study in NUS.
      The pay is insane

    From ite to poly..nothing is impossible.I was like you,frm a repeat student taking N levels before going for my O's hoping to get into poly which i did badly and went into ITE..in ITE,all you ever need is focus..and determination..getting a GPA 4.0 in ITE is easy if you put hard work into it especially into all your assignments and projects..im not trying to brag abt my grades in ITE,in fact,i did not even study that much during term breaks etc but what i did was put in alot of effort during projects and assignments..and little did i realise,i managed to get GPA 4.0 thereafter..Nanyang Poly rejected me coz i was from ITE but Temasek Poly open its arms wide for ITE students like us..you can go far,you can still achieve your dreams to where you want it to be thus dont give up on hope..I wish you all the best Pei Ying!!

    Pei Ying, if you are reading this.. I wanna share with you my journey. I was from ITE, went to poly then Uni. I didn’t have a GPA of 4, in fact I did quite poorly. After ITE, I went on to do my part time diploma at 1 of the Polytechnics. Again I didn’t excel in it, but that engineering diploma became a key to a local university. I went on to do part time degree and graduated with a social work degree. That’s something I have always wanted and I couldn’t do so, because I was from engineering in nitec, and had to take engineering in Polytechnic. So what I’m trying to say here is if you like social work, don’t give up and keep working towards that dream. I’m a living example. Trust me, it is achievable

    But the problem with singapore. They treat ITE like " its the end "
    ITE graduates that have good grades unable to attend polytechnics 100%. Which is absurd
    Singapore MOE need to improve this to allow them to excel further. Private schools are garbage in SG so dont bother

      Thats why i hate this kind of pathetic stereotypes in Singapore. All they thought of, if you ended up in ITE, there goes your future which of course is untrue. How I wish Singaporeans will be more open minded and aware of the potential that each of us have.

    • @zattifiedax
      @zattifiedax 5 років тому +19

      @Moonface00z I think you're the one making stereotypes here. Students that have good or decent grades from ITE can actually go to polytechnic, I know a lot of them including friends and family members that do. It's just how much effort and passion you put into your work. It's actually quite easy to get into poly from ITE provided it meets the requirements.

    • @Sea2121abuuba

      To be honest, you need to realise as you are adulting, everyone is competing for a spot. I am from RP. There are a lot of intelligent foreigners here and most of them deserve it because they work really hard for it.
      Bottomline is, learn to enjoy life like how the young lady in the video does. Learning continues beyond school. The government may be shitty but the people cannot just complain without having solutions!

    I think we should give a chance for people like her to bring out the best in them. If we don't at least give them a chance, they'll lose their way in life. And I don't think that's something they want. So we should play a part in helping people like Pei Ying by not ostracising them and giving them a chance to show their full potential.

    Your organic/digital friends are not going to pay your bills when you are bankrupt, homeless and/or sick. Will you empty half of your life savings to help a digital friend? Yet we spend most of our time and energies on social media and internet thus neglecting our familia and not spending time to build our technical skills. As a sociopath, there are many systems and mechanisms we put in to retard our competition for beautiful humans, money, jobs, businesses and resources. For you will do the same for yourself and/or your familia.
