I oways think the gov is a fool for implementing BM as the language for maths and science. they shudn't hv done so. Look at SG. they've used and stressed on the importance of ENG since their independence. now they're leaping ahead of us in terms of tech and development even tho SG is a relatively young nation.
The one good thing now about our education system is that... they've changed Maths & Science to english!!! Wheeee!!!! Oh yea, and the G is certainly trying to model some subjects after the US edu sytem. Take our ICT subject, anyway, that's out of topic XDI do think the gov is trying hard to improve the english standard, although they do have to try harder, dammit, u can't even understand what some of the teachers are talking about, and they end up communicating in BM instead... but then again, that's only a very rare case for me, so far, my current teachers are good at the language.
What I've been drilled with:
- watch BBC, astro 93 and 26(little britain, anyone?)
- read!!! comics -> news articles -> contemporary novels -> the classics, brrr....
- speak? hmm, with so much rojak and bad grammar going around, that's a challenge...
- and to a certain extent, videogames, dammit, i have admit, u do get some uncommon terms in those MMORPGs. But beware, certain translated asian MMOPRGS with horrible english, remember RO?
