I came across a blog about someone who had just obtained the STPM’s (equivalent to A-Level) result and deciding on which course to pursue for undergraduate.
This blogger blogged about all sorts of “interesting” courses name such as…
This blogger was giving his two cents in regards to the name of the courses above. For him who is not in the academic line, I totally understand his “lamentation” as stated in the blog.
What strikes me the most was the comments commented to this post. Here are the comments… (PARDON THE LANGUAGE)
For these (I presumed) students (i.e. Chindiana & pilocarpine), Bachelor of Technology with Education (Home Skills) is about milking goat and making cheese. Two thoughts came to my mind upon reading that comments. (1) They are making fun of such a noble job which is totally rude and (2) They are really immature.
Thanks to the “Anonymous” who tried to clarify things.
But then came Chicken saying studying that course for 4 years is a waste of time and he got an “A” in Home Skills subject. What Chicken may forget is that his/hers teacher that taught him/her Home Skills spent that 4 years studying that course so that he/she can get “A” in the subjects. Does getting “A” in Home Skills mean that you are already an expert? Grow up! Learning is a process that never ends. It only ends when you stop learning.
It’s sad to see these thoughts from these younger generations. And this is my piece of lamentation….
NOTE: I applaud this blogger for considering doing Bachelor of Education for we do need good teachers to teach the young Malaysians.
