Nowadays, people would like to have a
high paying job but without working hardly. Some of the student who
just graduate from secondary school they would like to work and earn
money. They might think about continuing study is not important to
them. They will say that even study for a degree they wouldn't
guarantee to have a job. So, they will think working and earn money
is more useful to them.
Besides, I found that, some of the
student are fascinated by computer games, television channel and a
lot of entertainment. That is the reason why they will not putting
much more afford on their studies. They will become like this is
because of they really don't know what they wanted to be and some of
those who actually understand what they need, they will go and
achieve it. Actually, no matter ancient times or today's parents,
they just want their children to become a useful man. Thus, the child
will feel pressure virtually and they feel unhappy on their studies.
A lot of parents are working all the
day. Therefore, they already neglect their children and they just
send their children go for tuition without asking their opinion. I
found that, today's children just like a robot, they study because of
having an excellent result in their exam. They didn't think about the
future and they just follow what their parents wanted them to be.
Actually, I agreed with Sir Ken Robinson said “we are getting
our children through education by anaesthetising them”.
The school had put the student into different category depends on
their exam's result. I think that's not fair for those slow-learner
student because they would have a good result and they just need a
long time to understand it.
Teacher
is also important for a student but today's teacher don't really
teach the student about the moral value or other knowledge beside of
textbook. They just wanted to finish what they need to teach by using
the textbook. When come to the question, some of the teacher will
just give the student answer without discussing. Thus, the student
will not have any opinion in their mind because they thought the
answer will come guaranteed.
There
will be a lot of answers for a question but in the exam, it is only
can be ONE. For me, answer could be a lot and not just ONE and it is
depends on you. And I also agreed that “we have
to think differently about human capacity”.
Sometimes, the student will not be good academic but they are good in
technical so that we can't say that the people is not a smart people.
They just having their strengthen in different category. So we can't
say who is the smart people and who is not that's no way to justice
them like that.

That's why multiple intelligences proposed by Gardner are important as every one of us is different.
