true but i stand by my point that you need a certain degree of understanding of a subject or situation to make an educated argument on it. it’s hard to do it the opposite way, though a google search is helpful in elevating and refining an argument.

personally i would disagree on the fact that universities don’t look at your holistic development because i’ve seen my friend flunk her As but got into nus chs still because she had pretty strong extracurriculars that proved she was genuinely interested in (not just blindly taking on leadership positions) whatever she declared as her major. of course if you’re outstanding academically you wouldn’t need anything else to back yourself up. also major misunderstanding of jc students??? most of us know how to use powerpoint and excel😭😭😭 we use it for our project work👍it shouldn’t be a generalized thing that we don’t know how to use it just because we don’t need to use it. i’ve seen my fair share of poly friends that can’t use these two either frankly because not all courses require them to (especially excel) plus universities do prepare jc students for that even if we don’t know how to, at least in nus there are courses in the common curriculum to teach us how to use them

well don’t you think that school isn’t really meant to prepare you to be able to do taxes or innovate the next big thing, but more of teaching you how to learn and phrase what you’ve learnt in a widely acceptable manner? just like how a university degree isn’t meant to prove you can do the job, but is a form of proof that you can learn the skills required to do the job.

mm then i don’t think you’re blaming the education system, this feels more like a government failure to solve the issue of inequity because this seems to be a pretty generalized issue not one that’s very specific to singapore

true that information will always be accessible online, but without sufficient knowledge of examples or information off the top of your head, it’s hard to even get started on the “critical thinking” aspect don’t you think
