Changes start from within.
Like you I am a non conformist, I am always questioning the authority or credentials of people or certain decisions made when I felt it was unfair.
But what you're fighting against isn't really the system. You actually fighting against the people within the system.There are some who would evidently change the system to suit themselves and then try to have you believe that it has been that way all along.
People are unique individuals and you can't really expect everybody to be on the same wave length as you. Not everyone will just back down when being directly challanged. Infact many will retaliate back.
Likewise not many want to spent the time and energy or risk when fighting for changes. Most are lazy and would definately take the easy way out.
How you fight for changes or what you believe in is also very important. Fighting for a noble cause is admirable, but when done wrongly is more harmful then beneficial...take Mikhail Khodorkovsky for example. I'll leave an article of him if you want to read, It is very intresting to me.

When you're self destructive don't expect anyone to take you seriously. If you do really want to change thing, you should do as some have suggested, which is to get an education, then a better understanding of what you're really fighting for and if its worth it.
Even if you do fail, pick yourself up and do not change or compromsie yourself just because of that. Instead learn what you must do and not do.
Last but not least thank the teacher for showing her ugly biased selfish uncaring side towards you BECAUSE it is through that that you will know how to treat others in future and how to become a better person unlike her. Likewise forgive her because she is someone who you would not like to turn into, NEVER let your own hatred consume you. Changes do start from within....question is how???
And I do not believe you to be crazy, crazy pople will never admit they're crazy . You're just someone who wants to be heard thats all. Something which each of us really wished but never got the opportunity to be heard :)
Have a look at the elections ba, you will definately see a change in the past elections compared to the recents one...people are trying to get their voices heard :)
They will pave the way for the new generation....

Even working in singapore is crazy. Low pay, bossy bosses and bullying co-workers.

Either that, or Miyuki miingguii lives or schools in Hougang, under the piercing eagle eyes of the Workers' Party, for 20 years and ongoing. :) Teehee!
Maybe exemption from history.
Weird though to come to a forum and ask forumers not to talk on the forums.
It is like asking people going to toilet not to use the toilet.

Then join STR2012 (you will know the meaning of this name once you join the FB group). Our motives are to change the attitude of teachers towards students's emotional and mental problem and to improve the education system of Singapore.*
Recently, Aideen and I had emailed MOE and they've replied, saying they have sent our emails to the relevant departments and their officers will contact us directly. We will not be satisfied until we see then carry out measures to prevent more of such cases from happening.
A lot of you may have wondered: Why can't we dress and cut our hair with freedom? Why must we have exams and tests? Why must we wake up so early and stay in school till such a late time? Why are my teachers so biased? Are some teachers even qualified to be teachers at all?
But most of you have seen the above as norms. Where has hope and determination gone to? We must change these, to provide a better place for learning.*
If you are keen, please join STR2012 Facebook group: (since i cant post any external links, please go FB and search for STR2012 and choose the one that has an icon of a fist. If not, type in facebook website as per normal, then followed by groups/426058207426569/) More informations will be given there. Anyone are welcome, as long as you are brave enough to make your stand and wants to bring about changes to singapore's education system.*
Best regards,
Miyuki and Aiko
Founder of STR2012
Motives:
-To bring about a better education system
-Change teachers's attitude towards student's emotional and mental problems
Expectations:
-MOE to carry out the necessary actions, not simply talk and nothing done
Goal:
-To make every student in Singapore enjoy learning
-To reduce the number of depressed or psychological cases among students
How?
-Peaceful measures
-Email MOE our views and opinions, not stopping till they meet our expectation
-In case you don't know how MOE works, MOE actually will not ignore our emails. They read through every email carefully
This thread is OT
Jianni you should be interested in this project.
Anyway, TS doesn't understand that talking in this, is actually bumping this topic up.
Of course, teachers don't teach her that.

In other words, there are a few of us here in this thread who are not in any position to join your FB campaign, but we are indirectly giving you support, by "adding flavours" into this thread, to pique the curiousity of others into reading this thread, and thus, at the same time, gaining you some potential FB supporters. :) A standing ovation, please.
internet police?

1. Been bullied before
2. Schooling now
3. Experiences that can help in building the evidence
4. Hates school
U imagine MOE somehow finds out the group and then they started laughing and say "ha! So little members! Wad u expect me to do"
Of if ur worried you'll get into trouble with the authorities, then du worry, u won't. Only me n aiko will kena. There r a few possible outcomes for this.
1. School/MOE send us to counseling
2. school/MOE ignore this
3. A talk with school/MOE
4. Girl's home
It is difficult to support someone when you don't even know what grievances or pain they went through.
Therefore the inaction.

If you find it hard, you can send me a private message about the issue.

It's fine by us that ur ambition is to wash toilets/ work as a factory girl/ McDonald cashier/ karang guni lady.
There r other students in your class who want to finish o level , get higher education n perhaps get a good job for their future.
U don't want to study n do well for exam, that's ur choice. Do not be disruptive in class n be a hindrance to the teacher n fellow students.
If u need the teacher's attention, u should seek it before or after class.
