IS THERE EVER A DOUBT WHY YOG IS BEING HELD?
IT IS TO BRAINWASH A NEW GENERATION SO THAT THEY CAN ALSO BE RULED EASILY LIKE SHEEP.
MOE Force-Feeding Students With YOG Crap <hr style="color: rgb(152, 152, 152); background-color: rgb(152, 152, 152);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> As expected, students are being forced by MOE to filled up the empty seats at YOG due to cool public interest.

Schools create buzz for YOG
Students to get tickets, lesson plans to be adjusted

SINGAPORE - Tweaking lesson plans, shelving exams and adorning schools with memorabilia from the Youth Olympic Games (YOG). There is no way even non-athletes won't be getting into the mood for the event, judging by what schools are doing to electrify the atmosphere before the Games.
With 15 days to go, primary to junior college students will be exposed to the Olympic buzz in and out of their classrooms. Schools are also gearing up by giving tickets to students and adjusting lessons plans.
For example, Crescent Girls School will be flexible and do away with tests for those involved, while Catholic High Primary will also ensure that lessons are not too taxing for their students from Aug 14 to 26 - the duration of the Games.
To generate more buzz, all schools will screen YOG videos and play theme songs on their public TV screens and through their audio channels. Banners and posters to announce match fixtures and students' involvement in the events will be put up on notice boards and along walkways. Local and overseas athletes have also been invited to speak to students during the assembly period.
Many schools are leveraging on the timely National Day celebrations to tie in with the YOG as well.
At Millennia Institute, the school's sports leaders will be leading students in the YOG cheer, while at Northlight School, close to 300 people - including parents - will be invited on Aug 8 to cheer on three of its students acting as torch-bearers.

"Many of them have also taken the initiative to organise YOG-related educational activities for students in the lead-up to the games," said the MOE.
The MOE has bought 87,000 tickets which have been distributed to schools.
Tickets are given according to the country which they have been partnered with so that schools can help cheer on the respective athletes. But for the finals, tickets will be allocated based on the schools' choices, said the MOE.
At Temasek Polytechnic, which has about 2,000 students and staff involved as volunteers, registrar Sharon Soh said that the academic calender has been modified to create a longer break period so that students can take part without cutting classes.
Students from the Institute of Technical Education, who will be on vacation, will be watching the semi-finals and finals of selected games with the 600 tickets bought by their school.
