THE "BEST" WAY OF ANNOUNCING BAD PW RESULTS
A TRUE STORY
American Idol Style!
in this particular class of SAJC,
i bet the teacher is a avid watcher of American Idol.
(Suspense Music Plays in Background)
Teacher:
Welcome class to another RESULTS SHOW.
I am sure all of u are dreading to know the results.
But the fact is that, we must get to it.
This is PROJECT WORK.
Teacher:
Today is the day all of u have been waiting for.
25 Candidates.
0 Band 1s.
Candidates:
OH MY GOD!
(some girls cry)
Teacher:
So you think u can get band 1s?
Haha. alright. 13 Band Twos and 12 Band Threes.
(sinister laughter)
Candidates:
OH? wad are band 3s? I didnt think abt them at ALL!
(more pple start crying)
Teacher:
The moment of truth.
The moment u have all been waiting for.
Results.
Candidates:
ow....
(looks in awe)
(girls hug, boys give high fives)
Teacher:
This is how it would work.
I'll separate 24 of u into two groups.
Until there's one left.
The placement of the last candidate will determine the grade of the entire group.
Lets start from Slacker 1.
You are in Group 1, please step to my right.
Candidates:
oh no! i better not be in the same group as Slacker 1!
sure band 3!
confirm!
(Teacher continues to split up candidates)
Teacher:
Slacker 2. u are in Group 1 too!
with Slacker 1!
Candidates:
CONFIRM!
GROUP 1 CONFIRM BAND 3!
Teacher:
Hardworking boy, u r in....
Group 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hardworking Boy:
uh oh.
haix.
why did my PW get band 3?
haix.
(starts to tear)
(Teacher continues to split up pupils.)
Teacher:
now comes the time.
25 candidates.
12 in Group 1 (with Slackers 1 and 2 and hardworking boy)
12 in Group 2.
1 left.
where will he be?
which group gets Band 2 and Band 3?
i'll tell u after the break.
Candidates:

Teacher:
Welcome back.
This is the moment of truth.
One left.
Which group is he in?
People in Group 1:
haix.
e probability of him coming here is like 0.00001.
maybe my math can get A.
so who cares abt PW?
Teacher:
Which ever group he goes to is the group with band 2s.
HE BELONGS TO GROUP....
ONE!
Congrats to the slackers whom got a 2!
Candidates in Group 2:
(cries)
Teacher:
This is the end of our RESULTS SHOW.
thank you for watching.
and crying.
---------------------------------------------------
well done.
tat teacher is such a bitch.
haha.
now back to the point.
i am pissed.
or rather.
i was pissed.
let me come straight to the point.
it is the disparity in marking standards across e island.
that is driving this insane mad rush of crying students.
let look at e results.
No. of Band 1s (%)
VJC - 33%
TJC - 70%
SAJC - 8 PEOPLE (aka... abt 1% if there are 800 pple.)
so wad causes such great disparity in grades?
i'm sure the intellect level of students between these 3 colleges dont differ much.
so wad is the reason?
the marking standards.
it differs from college to college.
even teacher to teacher.
a class in VJC can get 23 band 1s and 1 band 2.
while another can get 2 band 1s, 12 band 2s and 10 band 3s.
well done.
i just got a hunch the MO* is gonna be bombed for this.
lets see...
haha!
after i was damn AP in class...
well.
i was not angry abt my grade.
i am angry abt e class's grades.
its the general idea of not having a standard marking system that worries me.
e implementation of PW in a sch basis is fine.
even without standard marking systems.
but.
as a national level.
and as a AO level subject?
there is a standard marking system and scheme.
but.
the people marking made a difference.
its obvious.
well...
before my mood gets bad again.
let me talk abt something hillarious.
me and leslie were on 55 back home.
den suddenly. when we were at eunos primary.
leslie spotted weiyang (manda's weiyang) on e opposite side of e road.
den i saw him with smthing white.
i tot he walking e dog or something.
den leslie said he was dribbling a ball.
oh ok.
den suddenly.
his soccer ball rolled out onto e road.
some cars drove past it.
den he tried to get it back.
but to no avail.
haha!
was damn funny.
LOL.
i am gonna ask anna to ask him wad happened.
haha!
cause e bus went off first!
)=
no grand finale.
hahaha!
wad a long blog today.
well...
i felt like writing.
haha!
cya guys ard!~
