Well, what problems do I have? I have a problem with going for group tuition, as it does not let me interact with the teacher and they teach without caring about whether you have learnt anything, and it does not even help learning. The problem started one day......
'You must go for chinese tuition!' commanded my mother, without caring for my feelings if I liked it or not.
'I don't like it! It's so boring! The chinese teachers are so boring and the homework is difficult!' I replied, hoping that she would see it from my view point and not ask me to go for tuition.
Obviously, like all parents, she just insisted that I had to go for tuition. What is this, a communist country? (Yeah, it's the 52 Dido Street communist party) It is not fair at all, when she forces me to go for tuition, when during my PSLE, I did not even go for tuition and I could get into Victoria School! So what is the difference? Well, my mum said that language, had to be used often (herself a General Paper teacher) and since I did not have the discipline, I had to go for tuition. What kind of reason is this? It's preposterous! It's not whether I have the discipline, its about how interesting the teachers teach Chinese! The reason why so many Singaporean students hate it is because the teachers are boring, and only know how to drone on about chinese, how important it is, blah, blah, blah...... Most of all, they like to correct you when you are not even doing anything wrong! They do this so often, that I sometimes want to tell them this:
I find it very meaningful! Garfield is such a cool cat!
So, I told my mum, 'It's the teachers, not me that causes me to hate chinese,.'
'No,' she said, ' it's your attitude.'
Nonsense! She could go and interview all my classmates and they would all agree with me!
So I told her, 'Fine, I will only go for lesson if it is individual,'
I knew that my mum would have trouble finding good private tutor, so I have a few weeks of relaxation before my mum finds one! (Tricky, tricky!)
To add on, tuition fees can be so overpriced, that even some university students protested against it which adds on to my list of reasons that tuition is not good! Here is the video of the news report of the protest on Youtube:
