You know you love me,
*winks*
My name is Alice and I live in my own Wonderland. That's why people call me Alice in the Wonderland.
Okay, kidding. I'm Frederika. Or also known as littlemissspicy in the Cyberworld. I'm seventeen, moodswinged, noisy and definitely not your type. Just so you know, I have a thing for alleys and
guys in uniform. And you know I love my Chuck Bass.

I think now I know why a lot of Singaporeans have the perceptions that Aussie education is slack and bad and has low standards etc etc. It's because of those students with bad A level results (which can't make it to uni in Singapore) who then come to Australia.
So they basically just think that: "Oh, so cannot make it in Singapore then can 'flee' to Australia. They have such low standards!"
But trust me they can't make it to uni in Australia too. At least not the top unis. And well they can if they want, but not directly too.
When those students come here they have to study for another year before going to uni. It's like for us, after O level, we take the foundation studies for a year and then we go to uni. For them, after A level, they go to the same foundation studies as us and learn the same thing and then go to uni.
If we put it like in Singapore, aft O level we go to JC. And then if those post-A level students learn the same thing as us (post-O lvl students), that's the same like repeating JC what.
So you see, they don't directly go to uni. They still have to so-called repeat another year before going to uni. And therefore, it's not that Aussie education has lower standards. But here in Aussie those people are given another chance, like another pathway for those students. Imagine how if they stay in Singapore. What are they gonna do if their A lvl result can't make it to uni? Retake A lvl? Go to Poly?
