Compare

When's the last time you compared?
Just minutes ago?
What did you compare?

It's a human nature to compare.
In the old days,
Which cave was better to sleep in?

In the modern days,
Which Walkman looked better?
In the recent days...

Which supermarket offers best value?
Which firm offers cheapest energy price?
Which provider offers lowest mobile tariffs?

So why these academics were so keen to...
Attack OECD to compare internationally,
Academic results of the 15-year-old's?

Even though these academics THEMSELVES,
Compare everything, everyday like everyone else.
Do these academics accept what their uni pays them?

Do these academics accept all uni applicants?
Do these academics award all students a 1st class?
No, they don't.

Because they COMPARE...
Their own pay packages with others' internationally,
Their applicants' academic result before shortlisting them.

Their students' work before grading their assignment.
Do these academics think they're the only one can compare?
Because they're the 'Elite' and only they know Education?

Do you think these 'Elite' attacking OECD,
Was because they're doing a 'Pre-emptive strike'?
Because they feel OECD would soon compare unis? (2nd last para.)

Do you think rather than Criticising like us the 'ordinary',
These 'Elite' should be Contributing & set a good example :
Designing a better model for us the 'ordinary' to compare?
