its really depressing that most teachers are afraid to show more contentious resources to students. how then will students be exposed to alternative viewpoints and develop their own critical thinking skills? how can they debate and decide for themselves, the values they want to adopt in life?
i am not trying to sound righteous… but seriously, the creation of knowledge within Singapore schools are so… limited and perhaps even, self-indulgent… lulls you to not to care about anything else, other than what is given to you.
the need to question. the desire to search for meaningful experiences. the excitement of having dialogs and disagreements (debates/discussions) with others.
i stand before you as a unique entity. i may be different, but i do not really care about what you may think of me. what matters – i have an opinion. i make my own decisions. i am able to not be afraid of changes and differences. i appreciate diversity and have respect for the individuality.
perhaps that is why i decided to dye my hair red
