Student must keep in touch with news,to know mroe about things happening around the world.It can increase the current affairs knowledge of pupils and help them get OP or ACE through CA Discussion!

Keeping in touch with the world allows a person to have more contact with people,and understand WHAT is happening around the world can evoke emotions never before felt in a human.For example,the difference between knowing or not knowing that for example,Barack Obama has died.It will cause political turmoil and most people will start to worry for the U.S.A. but the ignorant ones?They don't even know anything,why would they care about what happens to the world?

This shows that although there's a saying that says ignorace is bliss,sometimes,knowledge may be bliss too!Knowing more about what is happening around the world can result in a more informative brain,more alert to what's happening around you and knowing more about the world can create more topics about conversation and discussion!Knowing more about these things can also aid in some non-school topics project work!

Personally,I think that Home Learning is rather effective,as we get to multi-task without being scolded by teachers.But,there is the ever present problems of distractions.For example,Facebook.You know how distracting that thing is?MSN too,and without the incessant pounding from teachers,I don't really feel motivated to do my work.But,yeah,I feel that Home Learning has a number of benefits in which there are DEADLINES which will never be there in school.Of course,do you expect students to rush to Hwa Chong and give you a worksheet by 9pm?No! So,that is why I think that Home Learning does have a bit of benefits.

Speaking of which,I think that learning at school is still a bit more productive,albeit a bit stressed.Come on,communicating with friends face to face is better than communicating with friends computer to computer.Also, group work poses a problem:contacting each other.Some of us don't have some people's number,and that may pose a problem in trying to do group work.

So,eventually,HCI is better.But,oh well,this is inevitable!
