I hate school. Well, at least for now, until my anger at HonCW fades.
Look. We came to HCI 'cos of the facilities, EP3, different teaching methodology and most importantly, the Special Programmes (e.g. HP, SMRP etc.) that they offer, right?
Well, folks, this ain't going to happen, at least for next year if HonCW's new plan for the school is accepted by the Board.

Why? Let's see...

1. You will need an MSG of 1.5 and below to QUALIFY for the SELECTION TEST to get into the ONLY special programme there is in Secondary 3
2. All special programmes (HP, SMRP, BCP, etc.) will be MERGED into a giant thing called Centre for Scholastic Excellence.
3. There are no classes in CSE, only a homeroom and we don't know what that means either.

What the hell?! And if that's not enough, here's 'Clauses' 4 and 5:

4. You will spend 6 months outside in Secondary 3. Basically you won't go home for 6 months. Oh no, you will be in Beijing, in a boarding school.
5. Projects Day and this "China studies in chinese" will count for your MSG in Secondary 3.

Can you believe it?!
I was so angry, I made a poem to *ahem ahem* condemn this new plan...

A Plan Condemned

We came in full of hopes
We came in full of aspirations
This dream of ours was for us to keep
Yet, this dream of ours, was destroyed by you.

YOU were the one that promised us the dreams
YOU were the one that impressed us with the supposed programmes
But this year, YOU decided that we were to become elitists
No, not elite people, but elitists.

No one [whose MSG is] below 1.5 would qualify for the selection test
The Special Programmes would be lumped into a Centre for Scholastic Excellence
Where did they go?
Where is the promise that you established with us...?

We had trsusted you
And that homeroom that your plan had
Was nothing but sheer nonsense and logic-defying
And only 8 IP classes?!

Seriously, do not think that we would buy that
Especially excelling in EP3
Spending 6 months outside of home
With the bulk in Beijing!

Will we have time to prepare for competitions?
NO!
Will we be able to win the competitions that YOU hold on so dear to
To keep up the reputation of the school?

NO!
So, we need a new motto
No more will it be win-win
Nor 自强不息
No, it's the elitists of society

A generation of elitists that transcends time
YOUR name shall be recorded in the books
If that was what you wanted
As the crappiest person ever

Since the merger in 2005
And the IP
Your contributions weren't much
But that doesn't matter!

Are you too blind to see?!
Who is the one that launched the Consortium System?
Who is the one that rose from a mere Physics teacher to a Principal?
Who is the one that owns The Hon Page?!

So, I [we] beseech you
Do not let our dream fly away
Lest we all become the elitists
The ones that are northing but snobs

For as elitists always say,
"Go away, from my cold elite face."

That felt good.
Hope that sufficed and made up for that superficial and lacklustre attempt to revive my blog posting.

See you...on Wednesday (since I only return from DEBATE CHALET [:D] on Wednesday)!
Till then, :D
