The end of it all, 4ye p33 life has ended and so is the 4ye P33 itself. It only started 3 years ago and it's starting to fail. I think everyone can sense the system breaking down, starting to malfunction. And it all started in 2006.
When Mr Jam35 K0h left the 4ye P33 in 2006, there was never one who was as capable as him to take on his task. Instead, the committee decided not to have a central head, whcih I felt was the beginning of the end. Every sub-committee was answerable to only themselves and coordinations between various groups were difficult resulting in many rough and sudden changes to many of the programmes. The 2007 4ye P33 one's 1nd13ven7ure was a good example. It was planned and done at the very last minute. Information was gathered from the 5ti9, who created the videos for one of the subjects.
The 4ye P33 is also understaffed. With so many teachers leaving, the teachers left have to do their dirty work. New teachers are incapable of handling such a new program as the 4ye P33, clearly demonstrated by Ms '/ada\/ who taught 1_4. Hence older teachers are constantly overloaded and when teachers are overloaded, the work performance drops and the 4ye P33 starts to suck.
With the sudden influx of N0013 teachers in the 4ye P33 and the abductions of the older experienced team, the direction of the 4ye P33 is starting to change BACK to the mainstream goals or becoming more results-oriented. In the first batchof students, there was the learn-as-you-play atmosphere with ample room for creativity to blossom. Now, there's no time for anything. Time is spent catching up on topics that were not taught due to the student's inability to comprehend. And the teachers are getting frustrated about it. It's not the student's fault if they don't understand. 4ye P33 students DO want to do well (with a few exceptions such as me) so we pay attention and try our best during lessons (THAT i do).
The new principal has got sth to do with it too. Ever since Mrs (h4n left and the CP1\/1 came, the 4ye P33 sucked. I cannot feel his enthusiasm towards the 4ye P33. It is something that he did not create and obviously does not feel for it as much as Mrs (h4n. With the original team of teachers gone, the 4ye P33 is gearing towards a major make-over but very subtly and also for the worse.
Conclusion: The 4ye P33 is already starting to suck and there's little one can do about it and a whole lot of reasons why.
