rotten apples

We live in a world filled with perceptions and stereotype. Most things are based on judgment, no?I don't get the way perceptions are formed. Just because there's a rotten apple in the basket, it does not mean that all the apples are rotten.

Many have this assumption that if you are a student of ITE, you're a disgrace. You're a rotten apple and that you're not so good academically and so on. Like I said, just because some of the students in ITE are bad, people perceived that all ITE students are as bad. They assume that we do bad things, that we are rebellious and all the other things they made ITE students look/sound like. Most people assume that going to ITE is a bad thing and that going to Poly is a good thing. But I say, it's not all about the reputation. There are Poly students who are as bad or even worst than what people generally say of ITE students.

Going to ITE does not mean we stop learning. We go through the same things every student go through. We get projects, we learn about things and we have examinations. We get stressed too. Honestly, being in a Polytechnic isn't all that. For all you know, they might even be studying the same things as us and from I've seen and heard, some students who attended Poly dropped out because they just lose interest or just could not cope. No, I'm not discriminating against Poly students. I'm shedding some light and trying to clear the air for the unfair judgment ITE students get just because they are in an INSTITUTE of TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

I feel that I have to address this because I think ITE students has been put on a bad light for far too long. I'm just saying in general. Maybe it's time that people out there should stop having the mindset that ITE are for students who has no other choice, that ITE is their last resort of still getting an education. There are mountains of example where you see students from ITE succeed in life. It's always on the individual. Being in ITE might be the path that changes your life.
