ACADEMIA Articles of Public Interest

  ACADEMIA Articles of Public Interest by Sherman Tseng EX Vice Principal of Ai Tong School.

RE  Musings of an Ex-Vice-Principal: Learning About Learning

1.     You are assuming the parents of this generation are  "ignorant, illiterate and stupid" . It is an INSULT to these parents' intelligence. Parents of my generation (and 1-2 generations before  you were born) ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR with this philosophy and method of learning, Long Before Your Time. YOURS OUTDATED, YOUNG MAN!.

2.      What are your Academic Credentials/Qualifications. etc...Years of Experience.  The public have a right to know to all these details. As "Director of Operations and Curriculum" it means nothing to us. Anyone can  create an impressive and fanciful titles/designations for himself.... just like you designated for youself decades ago as "CEO" (The Board of Directors found out and later RE-DESIGNATE YOU TO JUST A REPRESENTATIVE". HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?


RE The Art of Studying (And How the Smartest Students Do It) 

1.     For the interest of the public, WHY did you leave Victoria Institution before completing your A Level? 

1.2   Why did you leave Ai Tong School ?

2.     I understand from your parents and Vincent ST Chan that you could not cope with the stress, A Level work and for some other reasons best known to you. You seek Vincent STChan's help to find other JC such as CJC for you to continue your A Level .. But  you turned it down for reasons that 
( and I quote from Vincent Chan) "NO other JC in Singapore is good enough for you".. Subsequently you opt for the Poly.

         So you felt that you were talented/gifted "Scholar" and deserved to be better than others.
WHAT A JOKE!!
