Brain Dump?

This article on brain dumps really made me think about our own education system.

In Singapore, we've got our so called 10 Yr series for every single subject in schools. The TYS as it is fondly referred to, its more like a 20-30 year series consisting of every single question that came out in past national exams. Some collections even come with standard answers.

Our students are pretty good at scoring with the help of these. I just really wonder, how different the TYS really is from a brain dump and seriously, the article is very accurate in its portrayal.

TYS is bad for our nation. Full Stop.
