<b>I Not Stupid</b> is a film by Jack Neo, among its themes are issues facing Singapore, such as the problems caused by Academic elitism|educational streaming or nanny state government policy as well as the social values of Singapore, including the highly competitive "kiasu" attitudes of people, for example in Singaporean parents' strive to have their children be at the top. spoilers The plot concerns the life of three friends and their respective families and relationships. They are students preparing for the Primary School Leaving Examination, an examination which decides how the students will be getting education after, and which school they attend. However, they have been streamed into the EM3 Stream, which is a stream where students largely below standard get placed. Their families are all concerned and want each of their children to get out of the EM3 Stream so they can get better quality education. Also, the children often get ridiculed for being in such a stream on the way. One of the issues the film brings up is a flaw with streaming: if one streams students into a worse class, they will never get better and one has effectively made the situation worse, and the idea that many are "late-bloomers" and only improve in capability a few years down the road, but streaming makes the situation worse all their lives. movie-stub Category:Singaporean films Category:Films in Chinese Category:Mandarin films Category:English language films zh:????????????
