School

is where you top up your homework, refuel your fatigue and get free extra lessons. Sounds like an ideal place where you won't go. School make us think that study is important, but it defeats that purpose by driving us to the limit that sometimes we hate school.

School makes you wake up before the cock crows, and make you sleep after the crickets get tired of chirping.

Nevertheless, school creates opportunities, which allows us to make a choice out of a wider variety for the future. Besides, not going to school in Singapore is a crime, so we also have no choice.

Even kindergarten now is considered compulsory for children, all the way to a post-secondary education or further on with university.

The inside of the school is unique. You see all the students wear the same colour, teachers will wear some other clothes and usually the principal is very noticeable. Being in school also mean that you can bet on how long the principal's speech is going to be. Only a moron would bet below 5 minutes.

You also can say that school teaches all kinds of things to you; it teaches values and skills to all of us. But I would say we learnt these things, not so much of school teaches these things.

Fatigue refueled, this is still a school work isn't?
