it's been a while since i wrote. GUESS WHAT? our mid-semester exam is over!!! but you know, the journey remains, long and hard. still a few months to go until it all ends. until 9th grade ends. but you know what, i just wanna enjoy it. stress-free enjoyment is the best thing right?
unfortunately at Labsky, there's no stress-free day. so i just gotta live with it. so many assignments, so little time. deadlines chasing us faster. and time wouldn't make amends. it keeps chasing us. so, no time to relax. just gotta ride the bus on that highway. and that highway is life.
i believe that freedom does exist. but it's not that close to me right now. i'm not even free of school, or tests, or assignments. let alone free to do what i want to do. so what is freedom, really?
No idea.
I just wanna rant about life right now. Why is life so hard on us? it's like every time i take a step forward, something always holds me back. i don't know what. but i feel, on the worst days, that it just get stronger. i don't really care if nobody understands this. i just wanna let my feelings out.
And now.. for some nonsense
WHY IS EDUCATION SO HARD TO TAKE IN? school is hard, and it's getting harder by the second. as a 9th grader in Indonesia, 9th grade still counts as middle-school. unlike in other countries. middle school starts from 6th grade and ends in 8th grade. while high school starts at 9th grade. it's not like that here. the curriculum is harder. in 8th grade students already learned things that should've been taught in the 10th grade (in other countries). why is the government so hard on us? we don't want that. i know every country needs smart people to lead it, but i think, that's not the way to do it. if you force things, hard things, like study materials that are cramped into our brains like this, it wouldn't stay long. we would come to hate it. and i'm sure nobody wants that. so please, just take it easy on us :)
Besides, if students didn't understand the studies, what use does it make? nothing, of course. in a test, what do you think students would do if they can't answer a question? think about what comes to mind first. in a desperate time, a critical time. when you needed an answer to a very important quiz, or exam, or whatever you want to call it. let's just say... some people would CHEAT.
everybody has cheated, in a test or not. i know i have, once or twice. and I'm sure everybody has. if this becomes a habit, what would you do? we can't implant something into kids's brains. if this becomes a habit then, what would you do to erase it? erase that thought from our brain? How? and this does not happen to just children, teenagers too..
Okay.. now that i've let out my feelings, thank you. if you read this or not. Have a good day, and may the good wins :D
