Anyway. i went in with song, anton, ben poh, and joshua poh. so nt bad lah. the fist thing we saw was this..viking boat thingy. we were staring at it with utmost fascination before we realised how stupid we were and laughed for no rhyme or reason. After that we went in. take a look at sth. whatever. post later.

This is an article i was doing just now, take a look.


In the recent times, we have seen schools changing their schools to co-ed to suit the needs of students, being it educational, social, sexual, just to make the school look better, or to really build up the educational stadards. We have also seen different responses to this suggestion: A green light for the students at ACS(I), and a rejection by Victoria High School, Because of resistance by the ex-alumni of the school. So, after pondering about the concept of girls in schools, we thought- Why not Acs Barker road be co-ed?
Taking an angle at things, several people actually think girls in Acsbr would be good for the school and the student population! Firstly, If girls are accepted, There would be another school for girls to get into, therefore providing the all rounded, greatly appreciated and beautiful education system to more and more people. The school population would also be larger, and therefore more people would contribute to the school- in terms of resources, etc etc. Having girls in school helps the students too! In seeing competition, perhaps it would be that the boys would do try to do better and strive harder to prove their mettle. To impress girls, boys would try and perhaps train hard to win a competition. With girls as a powerful motivator in both studies and cca, the standards of education will rise and cca will become more active. In addition, discipline will change for the better in the view of introducting the co-ed system. Boys will no longer attempt to do things that are deemed socially inappropriate and " Mentally Retarded." In the case of social benefits, Boys and Girls will get to know the opposite sex, and about relationships.
A student who did not want to be named agreed to this point, and said: "Boys and girls will be shy with each other and not be able to behave properly in front of the opposite sex. All schools stream students into co-ed enviroments, such as JC, Polytechnics, and even in The ITE. If co-ed is introduced during secondary and primary school, perhaps boys and girls will be more comfortable, and will not be taken for granted in any case by the opposite sex.""Chloe Chan, 13, a student in xinmin secondary also agreed to the point that girls would benefit the students socially. "I think that they should allow girls in as guys wont be so shy with girls in the future if they grow up in a co-ed school-they will be more sociable with the opposite gender in the time to come." Also, another student, Tan Siyin of Cedar Girl's School gave her comments. "I think that maybe they should put girls in the school because the boys would be less uncomfortable when it comes to jc/poly. Also, they might be motivated to work harder by the respective opposite sex." Others, think that maybe girls in the school will deter other obstacles, such as homosexualisim. "Because there is a less tendency to go gay in school, there will be less bad things evident in the school!" says Lim Teck Chai, 15, of class 3b2.

So maybe girls in the school is a good idea. But on the other hand, Girls may not be a good idea. A survey in a group of 30 people showed that over 75% agreed to the idea, however, several people disagreed. Some claim that girls will be a distraction to the students in the school. For example, Ezra Lee of 3A3 comments that if girls would affect his studies dramatically, he would go all out against the idea. The same is felt for some people that co-ed would cause problems instead of practical advantages. -Yacob's article-
So, in conclusion... blah blah. the end.
