Current Affairs Quiz

You know for a long time, I think many of us have questioned our whole "education system". OK maybe not the education system, but at least, our school system.

I mean seriously, who the heck gives a Current Affairs Quiz?

My parents were skeptical about this whole "oh the quiz will motivate students to read the papers" thing. They say that students will only read the papers cuz it's gonna be tested, then after the test, we forget about touching the papers in the morning. Well this is true, and false. I do know friends who read the papers regardless, and sadly I'm not exactly one of them... And most of the news I get are snippets from people's conversations, or from class discussions, or from conversations with an extremely well-read person like Allison (though I don't think we ever talk about news :p).

I really don't get it. First they want us to open up all about our believes, which they claim to understand that it is difficult to do... Then they give a current affairs quiz... The other day I was on Skype with Cassie, who fortunately -or unfortunately- studies in the states, and she was laughing at me -the things that I do actually-. You know, at least she's enjoying her work... She was like "Really?! It's your holidays and not only are you locked in, you're studying for a current affairs quiz, you gotta be kidding me..."

Well Cassie, I wished I was kidding too...
