i have a bone to pick with our education system.
a friend of a friend moved to the us after his o levels and, obviously, continued his education there.
in s'pore he took trip science and double math, kinda like me in seconday school.
apparently in the us, his sciences at the o level standard is enough for uni qualification.
all he needed to take was math all over again for some reason; he completed the course in a year because he learnt everything already in seconday school here at home.
so all he's doing is lit and american history to fill up the criterion needed for uni application there.
technically, disregarding the lit and the history bit, i'm qualified for uni admission in the us. but where am i?
i'm here in good ol' singapore, trying my darndest to get through the a levels so that i can get a place in the university here and into a desired course, something which i already deserve. (according to the american's education system anyway).
this is infuriatingly unfair.
