Conflicting Thoughts

Argg! I am constantly told by my mentors not to use what I have learnt in the industry or my tertiary education in teaching my students! This is stupid! I understand that they should understand what the syllabus requires of them but if they are not exposed to how things really work, why on earth is MOE asking mid-career applicants to join in the first place? You want our experience but at the same time you don't want us to teach the students how things really are? This is conflicting bullshit! Sadly, this is the way the education system works in singapore. Sigh!
