Some 12th graders have taken to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with their first-term grades. They felt that there might be something wrong and that their should be reviewed. Others disagreed, and said that harder work was needed to achieve better grades.
The first group of students complained that the new education system was being very hard on them. The others said that the first group needed to study better to get good grades.
One user pointed out that the chemistry text book used to be 350 pages, “now it’s only 100 pages and you still can’t pass”.
Many others agreed that there was no injustice and that those who had not done well were simply making excuses.
One user noted that the changes in the curriculum were for the better, and they would help today’s generation become better leaders tomorrow.
