Aaahh...

There's only one week left before the mid years. Anyone who isn't in a major panic should go for an operation. And the worst part is, I still have PW to worry about. I think PW is probably one of the stupidest ideas that MOE has come up with so far. They expect us to be "creative" and come up with ludicrous ideas just to meet the criteria for 'generation of ideas'. I mean, there's a limit to how much you want to do before shooting yourself in the foot. Or being a complete jackass.

Take my project for example. Using computer games to teach autistic children social skills. Besides the whole practicality issue going down the drain, the teachers who have read it think its a novel idea. I think its a novel idea too, but entirely inane. Computer games, no matter how good the programmer, can never simulate the actual human interaction. And, its probably going to create a dependency and more anti social behaviour anyway. But we ran with it because it was good for "generation of ideas"

And seriously, we do all this to what end? A mechanical oral presentation. Flexibility? I tihnk not. Every other JC has some PW guidebook for you to follow, with recommended format and everything. Doesn't this strike anyone as counterproductive and against the whole spirit in which it was thought up in the frist place?

I think the projects would return to being of a higher and more creative standard if they stopped the asinine grading and made PW utterly irrelevant for the A levels.
