Today, I spent close to 1.5 hours on the road - both ways, to and fro.
Struck a conversation with both Grab drivers - on pretty diverse topics - and were pretty interesting.
Both were curious what's SST? and therefore did a quick introduction, using the simplest layman words to explain how it takes in its students and what part of the curriculum differentiates itself from others.
From HOME to SST (noon):
- We spoke about education system, how the approach has changed over time - how children learn. He shared the difference between how he learnt Maths in the past compared to how his child learns today.
- One contrast is learning in the past seemed to emphasise on production and outcomes, also tended to require one to commit to memory; which he noticed one big difference.
- I was curious why the car came through the Street 45 carpark instead of the one facing Avenue 9. There was also a change in the route he took - it seemed that there was an option.
- There, I learnt the it is not necessary for the driver to follow the proposed route by the system.
- The driver also shared that the system offers 2 different modes that he can choose to accept a job - one is auto accept, the other is manual accept.
- As his setting is of manual setting, hence, he knows my destination.
From SST to HOME (evening):
- Skillsfuture was the main topic in the journey. The driver shared how his wife had attended a pastry/ cake baking where she learnt the Japanese art in baking. Nevertheless, he doubted the usefulness when his wife now hardly apply teh skills learnt.
- Other courses he came across was wine tasting course and other cooking course.
- He also noted some skills like driving - remains largely handle by the bigger enterprises.
- He also shared that attending Skillsfuture course has also evolved to become a dating activity.
