[closed]37 students cut their fingers during O level bio practical

[SS2006]

This is the title i just read in a s'pore newspaper. They are having 'O' level bio practical exam where the students are required to cut a big carrot lengthwise with a brand new sharp pen knife. Not one but 37 students accidentally cut their fingers during exam and had to be rushed to clinics. When i read this i think...OMG, this never happen during my time and we had to dissect mice and frogs and earthworms...What is happening to the students nowadays? Too much theory and not enough practical?

Sad case-lah! The last time I cut my finger with a knife was in Standard 2. Once is enough to teach you to be careful. :squeeze:

[ben]

i cut half of my thumbnail off in standard 1, trying to sharpen a pencil.
these days, i still obtain cuts when i get carried away while imagining myself as an iron chef in the kitchen. but not bad enough that i need to rush to get emergency aid.

[dtchieng]

Hahaha
HAHAHAHA!
Ini kes never masuk kitchen nie!

However, I agree that the students nowadays lack the practice they need o hine their manipulative and psychomotor skills. Very sad also to report that some schools right in the heart of KL are allowing the school labs to bury itself in cobwebs. There's a SMJK school in KL that does not even have matches. When ask, how are the students to conduct experiments, the school science teacher answered, "no need to experiments, just read the books also enough already". So, the students are doing "experiments" through "visualisation sahaja... Down the drain with Hands-on, minds-on mission of the MOE....

Sad... sad... sad.... :(

[daBoss]

dem people dem dumbo wan... too pampered... :) they should come over to sitiawan and learn how to grow up... heck i was using parangs when i was 2...

[LiLiaN]

i had to say it's kinda funny now thinking of this in retrospect...
reminded me of these 3 girls in my chemistry class when doing leaving cert...
for some reason they could not find a big beaker to use over bunsen burner...
and they decided to put on jam jar as substitute... (jam jar?!!)
needless to say, my teacher spotted that right away and boy were they in trouble...!

Let me share with you a story.
I went out for lunch with my sis & 2 of her friends(one from Sing...........)
After lunch, they serve papaya
So all of us start eating it
After eating the papaya, the skin of the papaya was left on the plate.

To our SURPRISE there is no papaya skin on the plate of the girl from Sing........

Where is the skin?
She answered "I thought, the papaya was a little bit hard. I ate it"
:eek: was our 1st reaction
:laugh: was our next!

Come on boys and girls. Don't be so hard on our neighbour. Although they are 'kiasu', the girls are after only the 5 Cs (credit card, condo, car...), most people are still single in their late thirties, etc... they are a more developed country than we are. 'Correct or not?' - a phrase used frequently by a teacher who taught me P.E. and mathematics.

hmm... such sarcasm... :h:

Sarcasm learnt here in the UK-lah.
