Education should be free of politics.
This is what I believe. SO PLEASE, refrain from bringing office politics into class!!!
Not like they'll listen anyway. Well, this is how it began. I had assessment last Wednesday and I had the most horrible luck that day. Mr. DOOM had to come in and interfere with the assessment....namely MY assessment. The moment Mr. DOOM opens his mouth, all the lecturers practically acted as if they have no minds of their own. None of them dared to say anything. Even the lecturer whom I have consulted with earlier and discusses with about my design had nothing to say to back me up. She acted as if she had never approved of my design in anyway before even though she was the one who told me to add this and that to my design. Why? Because Mr. DOOM doesn't like it.
Mr.DOOM....the big fish obviously...
Now, SO WHAT if he doesn't like it? It doesn't mean that all of you have to agree with him just because you don't want to step on his toes. Atleast SAY something. I'm not sulking or anything because my assessment didn't go well, but I'm just upset. And its not because or criticism. If it was constructive criticism, I'll gladly accept it, but this is a whole different thing!
It is frustrating, really. Having to listen and seek guidance from lecturers who are mere puppets of the higher person above them. Students are not going to improve if lecturers are to afraid to voice out their own opinions and by the end of the day, we get grades that do not really reflect our real work and potential, but instead the grades we get reflects what office politics in an educational institution can do to us.
