education?
i've realised something about education... remember primary school, when there are such things as yes/no questions in which you either choose one, then move on to explaining.. "Yes. It is because she is wearing yellow, not red(doesn't make sense, but ya u get the idea)"
Then as you proceed futher into secondary level, you have to look through the question, argue both sides, then decide on one. (Yes, because bla bla bla bla, but it could also be No because bla bla bla)
Well at a tertiary level, as humans always love to complicate matters, requires more then that. I realised that we've gone pass the stage of answering a question. Instead, we list down 500 different alternatives that could be possible, take the tutor thru all of them, allow him/her a perception that we might likely choose a certain solution, then create that same perception for another few solutions, polish up the whole "answer"(i'm not really sure if it can be called an answer some times) with lots of flamboyant language and then put it all down into a fancy powerpoint with lots of animation. The purpose of the whole thing? To distract or disturb your tutor sooooooo much that he/she doesn't realise that there is no longer an answer. We've moved to the point where there is no longer a fixed answer, a model answer... Assumptions made correctly could just save your asses thru-out an exam! haha....
What do you guys think?
