Thoughts About The NTU Incident...

One tutor once told me this:

"10 and 20 years later, when you look back at your whole life, what's more important is the day you get married, the day you become a parent, etc... You won't be worrying about what grades you got for a particular semester."

...

I've forgotten the exact words, but the meaning is the same.

When you look at your whole life on the grand scale... it's much more than just what grades you got for a semester.

What can be more important than your life?



Quote from a professor...

" Your 20 over years of educations life boils down to this. 1 Number. 1 Single-Digit number. Do you think that is fair gauge of your capabilities? It is a lousy system but has been in place for many many years"

Isn't it sad?

Behold the "UNFORGIVING GPA SYSTEM".
