In 1980s. I used to remember in Primary School we used to have extended, mono streaming. If we failed in our Primary school. I used to be in extended due to my negligence during when I was in Primary 5. Compared to the girls and boys in mono. We are still better than them. At least, we can still have hope of going to Secondary life. The teacher will be extremely strict and firmer with us. They can still used cane in those day and will punished us by canning us if we failed any of the subject or neglected our school work. The boys will gets it on their butt and the girls will be on their hand. Some of us will try to cheat by putting a piece of cloth on the butt.
