" Speaking at the Forbes CEO conference, William R. Brody, President of The John Hopkins University, said:.... But be especially nice to the ones who get Cs and Ds because they will give money to the buildings. "
This is chop carrot head " The worldÂ’s leading educators have said there is a very low correlation between grades and future performance. "
It does make a huge different. Compare two diploma holder side-by-side, one with GPA 3.9 while another with GPA 2, which one will you chose? Grade DOES affect future performance when you see it at a higher level(Poly/University etc). " Instead of looking at how to help students improve their scores, the worldÂ’s top universities are trying to strengthen the experiential component in education and help students develop global experiences. "
If don't help students to improve their results, then what for degree have different class? ![Mad Mad](/images/emoticons/classic/icon_mad.gif)
Still can spent time going around the world and gain experience when you can't even handle your studies? ![Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes](/images/emoticons/classic/icon_rolleyes.gif)
“ There are two key things I would think about for the ingredients of success, be it individual or national success. The first is innovation where individuals are prepared to work in innovative teams. ... "
Not everyone are innovative, and I feel that you can't 'forced' innovation into someone. It's just come naturally. "To achieve this, SingaporeÂ’s education system will place a greater emphasis on divergent thinking. "
To me, this is a waste of time! ![Mad Mad](/images/emoticons/classic/icon_mad.gif)
" Mr Tharman said that in order to mould students with a global mindset, it has to start early even before students go to universities. "
If the student don't focus on improving their result when they are young, then where the hell they get the grades to enter University?
