I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate - Suli Breaks,Vanity Fair,2009 "I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate" picks up on the education topic but takes a different stance and angle from "Why I Hate School But Love Education". This poem talks about how we have been made to think about how education and getting university degrees can give us opportunities to have a better chance in making our dream careers a reality. It also touches on how as individuals we are judged and tested by how well we perform on exams, but not all people perform well in exams so why are they made out to feel like they're dumb? The inconsistencies of the education system are really peeled open to reveal a deep problem that needs to be addressed and how society's needs have changed to make this even more apparent. When it boils down to it, why are we misled into thinking that education is the only way forward for successful means in our work and career lives? We need to open our minds and educate ourselves that exam results aren't the barometer of success and that we can't let them decide our fate. We are in charge of our own destinies!

  1. Wow...Just, wow.
  2. For president
  3. aman and aman this is powerful
  4. I feel like this whole song sums up my sister. I feel that my parents dont understand her. She s had the failed results. The talks about how if she d study she would shine. But she doesnt care. I wish that my parents would understand her. I would try 2 talk 2 her but she doesnt like me. Anyone know how 2 solve this before she gets kicked out in June? I just wanna help her make descions that she wont regret.
  5. Sometimes I think that exams don't decide futures we decide futures for ourselves
  6. I showed this to my parents thinking they will understand why im having hard time on other subjects instead shes sending ne to summer school... WHY CANT PARENTS GIVE US TIME TO REST?!
  7. showed this to my parents now there is a 5 inch book beside me
  8. Thanks
  9. Wow, this actually relates to me.
  10. yr 11 is killing me right now. Even tho i study really hard i could get my test only 51-59%
    so I dont have confidence to pass yr 12 ATAR score.
  11. Here's a good question:
    Why do high schools expect us to be good at Spanish after taking it 9-12th grade , while we still have to learn english from 1st to 12th grade ?
  12. The reason we learn subjects like Maths and other subjects which may seem pointless if you're not interested in a career in that subject is because if we don't use our brains, they will eventually get weaker and weaker. Yes, we don't use Pythagorean theorem in real life, but Maths provides us with the logical thinking skills that is required for real life regardless of subject. The reason we memorise facts is to utilize our memory because if we don't use our memory it will just get weaker and weaker. Our brain is a muscle and like any other muscles must be exercised regularly - that is why we learn. As we go further on in life, you specialise in one area, e.g in UK - we start of with GCSEs (11 subjects - some subjects like English and Maths are compulsory), then A-Levels (4 subjects), then University (one subject) - starting with University is like trying to lift the heavy weights at the gym without any experience with the smaller ones.
  13. I'm sick of the questions WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN THIS and WHEN DID YOU USE IT IN LIFE? It might not seem so transparent to you, the mathematical skills that are needed in today's life because these skills are incorporated in technology that allows more people without the skill to benefit from it and improve the quality of their lives without ever directing using the skill. So that disconnect makes you think you have argument to why should you even learn it? You don't because NO ONE knew who those people were, who learned the skills before you that would incorporated it in the technology that would latter improve your life to the point where if you didn't learn it, it wouldn't GREATLY impede your SURVIVAL. If such a skill improved your life so much ... should it be lost? or taught to a new generation that may improve life beyond your complacent need using that skill like the predecessors? Or do you feel that since satellites can direct you to your house you don't need to learn how to get back home anymore? Regarding the whole Standardized testing and wanting an alternative to showing your worth as a person is ONLY an argument for people that can give the correct answer in alternative form other than bubbling in A thru D. Stop hopping on the bandwagon that you think gets your LAZY apathetic self out of doing work and contributing to society. Personally, all this talk about sharpest minds in the school but you have all these reason why your untapped potential isn't coming out is as useful as the world sharpest katana blade stuck in its sheath or the million of sperm cells waiting on the case of erectile disfunction to be rectified.... Nothing happens from just potential! However, that was that day in Science class.
  14. Kids in this video: we're too lazy to think or study and it's all society's fault.
  15. I know this won't change the system...BUT IT SHOULD
  16. i don't have the best grades and i went to the doctor because i have been feeling totally horrible because of my grades and she said that i am showing some signs of depression.....i am 13...
  17. I can't imagine showing this video to a typical Asian parents.
  18. If you want good grades, put in some work.
    When I started working at school, things became easier and my grades rose dramatically.

    Why do you need to study maths you won't use?
    Because if 10 boys want to go to work at NASA, and only 3 can go, all 10 of them may be qualified, but they only want the best 3.
    The way you find the best 3?
    Extensively test their maths/english/whatever.

    I think the biggest flaw with the schooling system is that it expects kids to have a large goal to work towards by a young age.
    I get there are often external factors (Dyslexia, ADD, Home issues)
    but if you don't put in the work, don't complain about bad marks.
    (I understand this is a generalisation, but there are so many kids who don't put in any work, don't reap any benefits and just complain about the system later on.)
  19. its all true. as if the goverment will listen -_- this is the kind of world we live in.
  20. we don't need this shit. we all need exams but they suit our future life. Suli. the only you wrote this is because you didn't do well in exams. so you brainwash people in thinking exams are bollocks and of course we make mistakes but we learn from them. so what u can do is eff Off back under your stone and revise again
