From happiest students to unhappiest employees
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Who/what is responsible for Sinkies degenerating from Happiest Students to Unhappiest Employees? Which countries have the happiest students?  344 12 1 Edvantage Tuesday, Jan 21, 2014 Believe it or not - Singaporeans have been found to be the happiest students in the classroom, according to a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) triennial international survey that compared test scores from 65 countries. Local students are apparently happier than students who live in other countries such as Taiwan and Switzerland as the city-state ranked no. 1 in the survey. According to the OECD survey, over 80 per cent of Singapore students felt happy in school. The happiness index was calculated based on the percentage of students who agreed or disagreed with the statement "I feel happy at school". Not only that. Singaporean students are a high-scoring bunch too, according to survey findings. Singaporean students fared well with the tests coming in second, pipped by Asian powerhouse, China. China beat Singapore in all three categories scoring, 613 for Maths, 570 for reading and 580 for Science, while Singapore students scored 573, 545 and 555 respectively in their tests. The test scores rankings were based on an aggregate of the students' math, reading, and science scores. According to Buzzfeed, when the happiness index and test score ranks were combined, Singapore came in tops with Taiwan in second place, and Switzerland and Hong Kong tied for third, but China dipped to fifth spot. Meanwhile, South Korea, which is known for its packed tuition centres, seems to have a society of unhappy students. Even though they finished 5th in their tests, the high stress levels and competitive nature of the education system had them finishing at the bottom of the lot in happiness test. While Indonesia topped the chart for world's happiest students, our neighbours did not fair too well with test scores so the country ended up second from the bottom. - See more at: http://www.edvantage.com.sg/content/....IeaVVgIu.dpuf Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
