To clarify, I am CRITICIZING this school, I am not slandering it.

I want ICS as a school to improve and better itself, but for almost a decade, possibly more, is this all they have to offer?

For a school that advertises modernity, instead of following a curriculum where students interact with problems in a practical situation, we are forced to take down notes, copying from a board as our entire lesson plan.

This could potentially be from a national curriculum ICS has to follow, regardless, a very disappointing and wasteful spending of our time.

And not just me specifically, but from everyone else’s opinion, teachers especially, management here is terrible.

Terrible in the fact that priorities are set on maintaining “professionalism” instead of solving issues - students are impatient, more over, they are immature.

You cannot expect an 18 year old or younger to act mature when they haven’t even biologically done so yet. Being professional and being reasonable are two entirely different things, and it’s a line ICS fails to even read properly.

Why have students act like business men when you can just let them, well, act like children? Learning should cultivate interest, not rote memorization on meaningless matters that could’ve been taught in a far more interesting way.

In these past recent days, a lot of the focus has been shifting to leniency, which is what students actually wanted. Because of the relaxed environment, students are SO MUCH more motivated to study which has lead to an increase in scores and activity. But because of new policies and rules set by management these recent days, morale has completely dropped to zero. Students do not want to study. I’ve even heard some classmates complain about getting “sent down” for having a game tab open for one second. Those classmates of mine had never been sent down at all mind you.

Speaking of which, discipline is a joke here.

As I’ve said, while it has become more lenient, discipline regardless sucks because students are made to write hundreds of lines for silly mistakes. It does not teach students any lessons at all, which parallels to how students learn anyways in every day classes.

If punishment is quite literally the same as how we study in classrooms, it only shows how flawed ICS is and how they have completely missed the point of education.

Do better.
