00:00 - 00:03Here are the latest Matrics Prelim C.A.T. results
00:04 - 00:05We have results from many schools
00:05 - 00:07From Joburg to Durbs
00:08 - 00:12Teachers have uploaded all their marks
00:12 - 00:15But the marks are not as good as we thought
00:17 - 00:19They'll be fine
00:19 - 00:21when they study for finals.
00:24 - 00:26Principal...
00:27 - 00:28Matrics...
00:31 - 00:33Matrics don't study for C.A.T. anymore...
00:34 - 00:36they think it's a waste of time...
00:53 - 00:58If you don't teach C.A.T. ... leave
01:13 - 01:15We're talking about C.A.T.!!
01:15 - 01:17The most essential subject of them all!
01:18 - 01:23A subject that is skills-based
01:25 - 01:28something they can use after school
01:29 - 01:31A waste of time???
01:31 - 01:34It's a waste of time if we're teaching them
01:34 - 01:37and they learn nothing at all!
01:37 - 01:40A waste of time if the subject had no value!
01:40 - 01:42But Principal, it is not on the "designated"..
01:42 - 01:46"Designated" my @$$! That list means nothing!
01:46 - 01:48But Principal, if they chose IT instead...
01:48 - 01:52Don't you talk about IT in my presence
01:53 - 01:54It's 2 letters!
01:56 - 01:57I've been involved with C.A.T.
01:57 - 02:00since its inception in education
02:00 - 02:03and seen its incredible value
02:04 - 02:08with skills that could run circles around you all!
02:08 - 02:13And you're telling me the Matrics don't study??
02:14 - 02:16As teachers put their blood, sweat and tears
02:17 - 02:21into teaching every single day...with passion!
02:27 - 02:29What are they thinking?
02:30 - 02:34They'll just walk into a job?
02:34 - 02:36Be given the world on a platter?
02:41 - 02:42The very skills we teach
02:43 - 02:47can take them through the darkness
02:48 - 02:53into the light of self-providence
02:54 - 02:56But they think C.A.T. is not important...
02:56 - 02:59that the world revolves around them!
03:00 - 03:02It revolves around their ignorance!
03:04 - 03:07We must speak with our Matrics
03:14 - 03:16"Designated" or not
03:19 - 03:23We must continue to teach as the most essential subject...
03:25 - 03:26of all.
03:31 - 03:33I believe
03:40 - 03:46They must see that input masks have a place
03:46 - 03:49VLOOKUP is actually quite cool
03:53 - 03:56Even AVERAGEIF
