The Struggle of Educational Systems and the Emergence of Unconventional Intelligence: A Case Study of Alfons Scholing

Introduction Education is often seen as the foundation of intellectual development, where the rigor of academic systems, the quality of teachers, and the personal circumstances of students define their success. However, for individuals like Alfons Scholing, this conventional structure fails to encapsulate the full spectrum of human intelligence. Scholing, the CEO of alfons.design and the driving…

And a reminder that higher education cannot be considered truly democratised if students can still be doomed to poverty with multiple or advanced arts and Humanities degrees...

i've been crying over this euijoo tweet so...

thinking about (losing my mind over) bf!euijoo who's always so so gentle with your sibling's kids :( like whenever you have to babysit them, he's so devoted to make sure they're happy and taken good care of, and he'd probably even offer to look after them.

bf!euijoo would always plan trips and play fun games with them to make sure they get the best out of their childhood. would also 100% feel the need to protect them at all costs :(

and like, whenever bf!euijoo does all those little things like helping them brush their teeth, or gently explaining to them how the world works, your heart just swells a lil and you know that he's gonna be the most gentle parent :(

oh oh and if you've already established that you two, one day, also want children, he'd for sure whisper that he can't wait for you to have your own kids whenever you successfully put them to sleep <3

Things I Wish Teachers Would Understand

I have a life outside of school. I may be going through health problems or mental health issues or family troubles or financial issues. Literally, I can name so many things and of course, you won't consider it because the only thing you notice is that how I've not done my homework or how I got low grades in my exams.

Grades don't define me. Or my efforts. Or my self-worth. Just because I get high grades doesn't mean I'm more smart or disciplined. And just because I get low grades doesn't mean I'm dumb or lazy.

Mental health issues are real. Really real. And they are hard to deal with.

Learning disabilities are also real. You can't just get out of it. Working hard doesn't fix it. It's a real issue.

Being an introvert is not bad. IT IS NOT BAD. Period. I do not have to speak more in class to prove that I'm paying attention. It just means that I do not want to speak. I'm fine with being quiet.

I can forget things. I can forget that assignment that was due, I can forget to do the homework. And I can definitely forget about the test.

The things you say matters. Even if it is sarcasm. Even if it is a dismissal. Sometimes, it makes me stay up late at night. Sometimes it just stays with me throughout the day. So, yes. You should speak a bit more carefully.

Grades don't show my full effort. Sometimes, I try so hard and I still don't get it right. And when you say that I should try harder? That does shatter a small part of me, not because you told me that, it just makes me feel that I'm the one who's damn stupid and that no matter how much effort I put in the work, it doesn't matter if the grades are not there.

As a student, I will of course prefer some subjects over the others. It is not a personal attack. And it is not an invitation for you to tell me something sarcastic about it.

Calling out a student on their mistakes in front of the whole class or our juniors or seniors or any other teachers is not okay. It's embarrassing to us and makes us feel bad.

Small praise does mean something. Honestly. I remember every good thing a teacher told me because I'll be honest, most don't say very nice things.

Please don't try to force things on us. Whether it be competitions, extracurriculars or anything really. It doesn't feel good.

And if there are some students who misbehave? That doesn't mean the whole class is bad. And no, collective punishments don't help.

I also appreciate when you try. Like, really. I respect you because you teach dozens of classes a day and still show up to our classes with neutral moods. You have a lot of patience for dealing with us.

I really appreciate your stories, advice and the small tips that you give about life now and then. It helps. And yes, I do remember.

I also feel that sometimes that both our expectations come crashing down. You expect us to do good. We expect you to be supportive and passionate. And it's okay to let go of your expectations sometimes.

And I know you have stresses too. You, too, have health problems, mental health issues and family issues, financial issues. I know you have the pressure of making everyone pass through the year and delivering good grades. And I have to say, I understand you. I really do.

I'm writing this because I've had so many teachers expect so much from me. And I'll be honest, that pressure broke me. Seriously broke me. I also respect teachers a lot, but it also doesn't mean I appreciate their behaviors or actions. You make up the world that we currently live in and I say this, not just as a student but as a person.

(P.S. This has been in my drafts from a long time. This was like peak exam + pressure + stress season, so don't mind the not so small rant. And no, I don't have a personal grudge against teachers.)

The other day I came across this amazing post of a bingqiu role-reversal au and thought how fun would it be to see one of the novel covers flipped to fit that au, and promptly ran to go sketch the idea out.

Idk if I’ll finish the sketch, but maybe this will help push me to flesh it out one day. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

If Ratthi has a million fans I am one of them. If Ratthi has 10 fans I am one of them. If Ratthi has only one fan it's me. If Ratthi has no fans it means I am no longer on this earth. If the world is against Ratthi then I am against the world.

All I want is to be disgustingly educated and pretty

[silence-between-seconds]

I don't think education was supposed to be about students breaking down and having bad mental breakdowns and panic attacks about submissions and exams. I don't think school was supposed to be about ranks and cutthroat competition and bad mental health.
