Straight As is commendable because they put effort to learn.

But the real test should be what coming after like STPM/Uni, those who rely on memorizing might not make it through with flying color, what's more in corporate world.

LOL this one I remember my teacher printed us 3 pieces A4 paper with all the nilai first day in form 4 & 5 and tell us just memorize these and you'll pass for sure

Then everytime he came in all have to stand up and he select random nilai and select student see who can answer only get to sit.
