difference btwn a local and an overseas student

i'm sitting in lectures now and there is this big group of visitors from africa who are here on exchange...

something struck me watching them participate in lessons...

overseas students are PROACTIVE. they respond to questions and constantly participate and give comments on lessons..

local students are REACTIVE. we keep quiet and keep comments to ourselves. if we talk too much people may hate us... etc.etc...

maybe tts why singapore's education system is flawed.
our culture is flawed.
i remember attending lessons in patana internatinoal sch last time
and lessons were all so fun and the school was so vibrant...

oh well...:S
and i sat with urm... ya... in lectures today. HAHA...
okay. wadeva john..
