Lucky STOMP staff got sacked over SMRT train door photo


Reference: Stomp staff sacked over false 'MRT open door photo'

In a potential legal situation, you never ever say sorry or admit liability — e.g. in a traffic accident.

You know how bad it is when SPH apologizes. The lady is so lucky she's protected by Company Law and only got fired.

And this isn't technically citizen journalism as the lady is an employee.

Should we watch our students master the skills that are needed for the next 20 to 30 years

A call to relearn how we teach our children

Now the Education minister has come back to say that parents need new methods to teach their children.

So I was right in my previous article, parents are becoming more stupid.

In actual words of Education Minister Heng Swee Keat:
"The question for us really is: Do we want to stick to syllabus and teaching methods that we are used to as parents when we were students 20 to 30 years ago, or should we watch our students master the skills that are needed for the next 20 to 30 years of their life?"
What specifically are those skills that you are talking about?

Do you see people using advanced math in our daily life?
