One Response to “Weekly Roundup: Week 33”

  1. FILB ARTICLE 16-9-08 Says:

    Title of Article:

    Education, Education, Education all around, but not a Brain around.

    Brief Excerpt:

    “Are we are already living in a sort of dystopian nightmare where we have ceased to examine the deeper meaning of education in Singapore?
    I am reminded, the cost can be exorbitantly high when droves of people can do nothing beyond applying what they have learnt.
    Engineers aren’t really engineers as much as they remain technicians; physicians aren’t really healers as much as they impersonate mechanics to repair human wreckage; and lawyers are nothing more than car coupon aunties who blindly follow the logic of black letter law.”
