There was originally a second part to this article, but I thought this post was long enough liao, so decided to write the second part later. Nevertheless, the main purpose of this article is to point out there is a very strong aspect of us (society's views) which is at fault, and Fearfully Opinionatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742668709052406391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603375794810392270.post-91736394998088549622007-03-06T08:22:00.000+08:002007-03-06T08:22:00.000+08:00My wife is a sec sch teacher with both normal and ...My wife is a sec sch teacher with both normal and express classes, so she told me....<BR/><BR/>Streaming also makes students perceive themselves as either smarter or "less smart", so they adjust their behaviour in class accordingly (such as playing truant, not doing homework, failing tests or exams on purpose, etc.) to fit that perception.<BR/><BR/>Schools worry about ratings, so some discourage z29https://www.blogger.com/profile/03601144927731469793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603375794810392270.post-19775416421924022552007-03-06T05:51:00.000+08:002007-03-06T05:51:00.000+08:00Both the system (and how it encourages such discri...Both the system (and how it encourages such discrimination etc) and us are to blame.<BR/><BR/>Have to study now so perhaps I shall take up your invitation to write later. :)Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409065325071215253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603375794810392270.post-821693345958378192007-03-06T00:51:00.000+08:002007-03-06T00:51:00.000+08:00Well said.
