No Room For Those Ideas

I know someone who loves to complain about the education system in Singapore, I'm beginning to be convinced by her now.
Lets take the A-level General Paper for instance. I know all of us enjoy GP lessons cause they are the most hands-on ones. However to write an essay, many of us rather get strapped onto a chair and listen to gospel and Gregorian chants for 54365461980hours.

It says to score a GP essay, you must know how to organize your ideas, go to plan and come out with strong points that show maturity.

See what a dud it is? It's rather writing a report than to express bold ideas and creativity.
How is writing a report going to help writers for magazines, newspapers and all?
Certainly some yes that helps but what about writing articles that try to change a perspective? That brings up questions rather than, "Oh, China woman kenna killed at AMK."

How do you grade maturity? Is it the way people list their points? Is it how open/closed they are? Is it how different they think from others? Is it an essay that manages to write what the marker thinks? Personally I don't know how you grade maturity.
It can't be the above cause the generations before the Y-generation is definitely less open to new ideas so does that mean the youth are more mature?

Reading so called model essays bore me. Their key-ideas are always the same. It's just the choice of words and well planned sentences following one another. My GP teacher likes to say that my ideas are often bold and vague. I haven't got a hold of my English yet.

There's a individual who likes to say people who think abortion has no wrong is immature. While I think abortion bring sort of a second hope to teens who get themselves pregnant. In a way it is running away from the problem however the process brings lot of guilt and trauma and does not bring in an unwanted life into this world at an expense of a mistake by a life that could have given another less painful choice. It's like the stick treatment. Most learn from the experience and grow.

So there are people who have the brains and heart to make a difference and so are there people who have the power of money. There is both glamor in both isn't it how you see things?

Influenced by many factors like experiences, religion and strong-belief. How can you really tell who's mature and who's not by IDEAS on issues that are always on the fence?
