SLG Proposal

Well since Raffles Critics have come up with their proposal, I don't see why I shouldn't come up with one. After all, the Critics (with capital letter!) from Raffles seem to be very very popular people. So I think I should aim to get popularity by putting up my own proposal.

However, while their SLG stands for "Student Leader Groups", mine stands for "Stupid Little Gays" - the little faguts which are polluting the school. WE MUST BE RID OF THEM! AND WE RECOGNISE THEM! THERE WILL BE NO COMPROMISE!!

Okay that was quite Hitler. Influence of 4J.

In any case, today we bring up three issues to try and improve the school. Raffles Critics are so critical that they want the intangible changed - like the RIPB, the CECC, etc. Me? I'm a stupid boy and cannot see what isn't there. So I'm going to tell you what I want to change - and it is all very see-able. And I'm going to tell you in very simple language, because I can't do it with difficult words. Sorry la - I told you I was a 笨小孩 many times before.

A. Ridding the school of SLGs
Also known as fagut cleansing. First we go to the Sec 1s, find all the arrogant little bastards who think they're damn big, and then we wipe them out.

Death penalties include:
1) Fragging from the fourth floor of Junior Block while the culprits stand on the first floor waiting to be hit.
2) Placing them in the toilet while a prefect does his binary fission in the next cubicle. Put crudely, while a prefect shits.
3) Getting Body Slam from a VIP of the school. Note it's not just "Slam", it's "Body Slam".
4) Putting him in the middle of 4J with Adnaan playing tennis ball with a cricket bat.
5) Using runes to turn him into a Carl Yan, who has plans to defect to ACJC.

Hope the Humanities Department won't come after us telling us to be humanitarian in our punishments. I mean, at least we don't use poison gas (though suggestion number 2 comes close) or firing squad. Partly because we don't have any firing squad, except the silly Air Rifle Club, now known as Raffles Shooting Club. But then again they only fire blanks, so no point putting those bastards in front of the Shooting Club - they'll miss even though it's point blank range. Because they make it a point to fire blanks.

Anyway refer to yesterday's post on Insolence, and perhaps you'll find why there is a need to rid the school of such faguts.

B. Change in GPA system
I find that having 80% to get a GPA 4 is slightly ridiculous. Actually, it's bloody ridiculous. That's just too freaking high and people like me will never be able to get it. As a result, I 心灰意懒,and refuse to work harder for the next CT. This goes in a vicious cycle, and thus it never ends. The GPA system has to change!

I have two suggestions for the school. The first is the easier to implement, for it teaches Maths as well as pragmatism. Use the dGPA/dmarks system, or for short, dG/dm, where dm is not deci-metre. Now let me show how dG/dm works. Say for example I get 65 marks for a test. This means that my GPA is 3.2. However, we must remember that the highest GPA possible is 4.0. The dG/dm system takes the current GPA over the maximum GPA - thus I will get 3.2/4.0 = 80%. After which, we use this percentage to calculate the GPA again. 80% is GPA 4, and therefore I should achieve a GPA 4.

This system, however, serves to punish weaker students, which is why it might not be very good. An example would be a student scoring 40%, or 1.2. After dG/dm, he gets 30%, which is 0.8, so it is quite screwed up. I, once a student of the Lower Class, have once been in their position and I feel for them. Unless we incorporate the punishing of SLGs with this system, it should be avoided. All SLGs who fail CLE should be given an automatic 0.8 for their GPA, which would result in 0.8/4.0 = 20% = FAIL! Perhaps they should create a new grade for SLGs - 20% and below is GPA 0. That way we deprive the faguts of even getting GPA 0.8. I know this is a cruel and ruthless measure but too bad. SLGs don't deserve our pity.

Maybe this solution should only be applicable for people with GPA 2.0 and above. This way, we can't lose. It's like putting a diode so you can give out all the slaps you want but you don't get any slaps in return. Now we put a diode at GPA 2.0 so we either draw or win. This way, we will eventually win.

The second is harder to implement, because it would be a rather controversial measure. It is shifting of the GPA distribution like you would to some graph. Add a constant so everything falls into place. However, the constant must be <0. Let k = -5, then people with 65 marks would have a GPA of 3.6. Bloody simple - and I say bloody because if you do that, some bloody people are going to complain that they are still short of one mark. And then there will be bloodshed among us, which I don't think is very desirable. Thus this would not really work, for the constant will always be disputed about.

But they could always just specially shift the GPA 4 from 80% to 75%. I think that is more fair. After all, GPAs are like hurdles. Now being a former hurdler in primary school, I feel qualified to talk about this. I used to hurdle across drains and ditches on my way to school, and I plan my steps very carefully before overcoming a hurdle. Now from GPA 1.2 all the way up to GPA 3.6, the hurdles are placed at regular intervals - 5-mark intervals. Thus I can move along at a constant speed and not fear at all. But all of a sudden, the distance is increased to 10 marks when it comes to the last hurdle. Like what the hell?! The hurdler will get a shock. Not electric, but a shock nevertheless that can kill.

Imagine it's the last lap of your 2.4km, and suddenly when you're about to finish the PE teacher tells you that you have to run another round. You are already sprinting for the finish but when you hear there's another round you get deflated. And that is precisely my point. It's like springing a surprise onto you. Some might say it's not a surprise, for we are told of the GPA system long ago. Well then, even if it is not a surprise, it is a tangent phenomenon, for a tangent is not normal (stupid Writers Inc. joke).

If you're going at a constant pace, calculating the steps before you jump, how would you feel if the last hurdle was suddenly very far away? I'd feel that my rhythm is being disrupted, and that my velocity would also be disrupted. THEREFORE! I propose to let all students have the chance to keep up the pace and maintain their rhythm, and that means lowering the GPA 4 from 80% to 75%. That is the very least the school can do. It'll make many people happy, trust me - and less bloodshed as compared to having a constant in the GPA graph.

C. Build a damn Canteen and screw the Camp
I'm sure you all would have noticed this, especially since the closure of the old canteen:

For those who do not know what it is, this is supposedly the replacement canteen. But by the look of it, I think I call it a refugee camp. Just look at the number of people queuing up just to buy food? It's nothing less than crazy and refugee-like. Life is bad at the new RI Refugee Camp (RIRC), for the food sucks and the queues are long. And there are still abusers cutting queue, just to make things worse. The prefects all either run off to RJC or they stuff themselves silly with Kemama Shop supplies (ever wonder why we don't see them making much profits??) - and thus there is no law and order at the newly-built RIRC.

The worst thing is, even though it IS a refugee camp, we still have to pay for our food! Now what sort of reasoning is that!! The least they could do is subsidise payment, so at least us refugees will feel more justified. And Africans like James could go there more often to have the food. Face it, the food is lousy and it should be free. With such exorbitant prices, it only forces people to skip recess and use the money to buy and suscribe to WoW, which in turn sees CT results dropping.

And the system blames the students for bad results? I think they should really look at themselves first.

Anyway, I do think something is going to be done soon. There are signs, great big signs, that show that things might be turning for the better after all..

Yet another sign. Mingling with the students at the RIRC:

Discussions underway? I sure hope so.

In any case, the RIRC is detrimental to the school population with its bad food and sky-high prices, among which some of them are higher than my Chemistry and Physics GPA.. combined! So I hope that the school would take the time to review this problem. The effect will be 立竿见影, and at least this is something very feasible and tangible. Welfare is supposed to be improved when you restructure the RIPB and CECC but it takes years to complete. However, in building a new canteen, welfare is immediately improved, for there will be less stomachaches and more smiles on our faces as we get free food which tastes normal at the very least. Does that not improve our welfare by a lot more, rather than restructuring bloody RIPB?

I prefer efficiency and speed in seeing things done. Thus, unlike the Raffles Critics, I have decided to moot for the implementation of a new canteen. I can assure you the results will speak for itself.

And the above-mentioned three issues are all I have to propose for the school. I feel that the relevant authorities should take appropriate action - for it is imperative that life in RI should be improved. Even if they don't, I really don't care since I only have like a week or less in the school. So I'm not going to be an asshole and spam every teacher's pigeonhole giving really stupid recommendations and directing them to my website. I believe in keeping a low profile and not let myself be wholly known like Eddie Carbone or the Raffles Critics.

I hope I'm not being too critical? The school has done a great job in nurturing us into the Thinker, Leader and Pioneer; but this is the way to go if you want to improve the welfare of the Thinker, Leader and Pioneer. In short, it's called TLP. Hopefully us TLPs will experience better days ahead after my proposal is posted up here.

(Coincidentally, TLP also stands for tua lam pa =X)
