"O"s

Recently Saint Nicks scored big on the "O"s exam results and the papers went wild with headings like "88% of top scorers are females"

And when interviewed these female top scorers commented on how girls at 16 are more disciplined than guys and thus can sit down for a longer time to mug.

Bull-shit

Firstly we need see that schools like RI, Chinese high, ACS(I) do not take "O"s anymore, coupled with NUS high (which has a substantial number of guys).
Next see that "O"s is a norm-referenced grading system
The Saint-Nicks scored big time due to a lack of competition, I guess.

Imagine if we remove the whole EPL from England now, Newcastle will be the best team in England and taking part in Champions league already.

Discipline? Sitting down and study for long hours?
What happen to teach less learn more?
Dynamic and holistic education?
How does sitting down in front of a book for long hours prepare you for the real-world, globalized work-force out there?

Discipline in study?
No life you mean?

Girls being more disciplined than guys?
You know guys at 15,16?
They think about sex 24/7

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DEDICATION AND DISCIPLINE IT TAKES?
TRY BEATING THAT
