I was disturbed by a noise while I was reviewing my textbook. “Who is the leader of this room?”, asked by a sudden appearing guard of Eton Hall. Not knowing what happened, I raise my hand immediately. After a short talk, I realized that some of my roommates watched movies during compulsory study time, which is strictly forbidden in Eton Hall. Thus, I was asked to ensure that everyone observe the principle during 8:00pm to 10:00pm.
What a familiar situation it was! I am convinced that every Chinese student will never fade the memory of self-study time, a substitution name of compulsory study time, which ensured a better comprehension of textbooks while causing us have no time to spare for private work. Undesirable as the compulsory study time is, I am always believing the advantages of this idea surpass its drawbacks, for it is indispensable and effective for us to survive in the stiff education system.
However, I am still shocked by recognizing that we are still haunted by the nightmare-liking principle in Singapore. Because we are deprive of the right to be self-control which is a sign of being an adult. In other word, I don’t want to be treated as a child who can only study passively. I appreciate the truth that it will help, while I also believe that we can study individually as well, if not better, as during the compulsory study time.
This is only my own opinion; perhaps you don’t share the same idea with me. What do you think about it, my dear friends?
Well, I quite agress with you.The compulsory study time gives us an arrangement of what we should do. Every day the security comes to our room to remind us of study.It's a good method for us to map out our time. I appreciate it
ReplyDeleteI think we should have right to administrate our own time after school.I don't like the compulsory study time either.Sometimes,I even can't call my parents from 8pm to 10pm because the rule.
ReplyDeleteI don't like this rule, neither do I like being treated as if I cannot manage my time. I prefer my schedule to be flexible after class.
ReplyDeleteThere should be some form of discipline when one is studying. Studying is a time when one absorbs and retains the content of a text. This requires concentration. When one is still not mature, one needs external discipline. A sign of maturity comes when one has developed a sense of self-discipline. Having said that, not everyone has the same study habits.
ReplyDeleteself study is very important to us. one can never succeed without self control. wish everyone's dream come ture.
