my religious class is gettin' stricter. it staggers many things.
the books changed - from the thicker ones to the thin ones. but i don't think it's appopriate. my last year's books are meant to last for 4 years in the madr. that's precisely why mum didn't mind the cost of the books is quite high. moreover, my sis also had the same set of books but can't lend it to me as we're using it on the same day. unexpectedly, the syllabus changed this year & we have to buy new books each year. so now i have 2 sets of same thick books at home. i agree the books are too thick to be finished by 4 years but maybe the akhlak book is quite flimsy. even flimsier than the current one. why not just continue using that?!
the class starts at 0820 instead of around 0800. which means we go home 20mins later. not fun. they stagger the time so that lesser students will come late. ...students still come late. stricter punishments are needed to stop them, not stagger the time. moreover, if it starts later, students will wake up later, & probably miss prayer. then there's only 2 periods instead of 3, in the whole 2 1/2 hrs of class. excluding recess. of course, there are a lot of slacking time; after recess, before the start of the 1st lesson. asatizahs usually come in for lessons late.
examinations is now based on the papers(once a year) itself, class works, homeworks, projects & attendance. they claimed that in the past, they promoted students to the next level even if they fail. but not now.
logical?
