Singapore - Are we nuts?

Subject: Singapore - Are we nuts? Mon Jan 17, 2011 1:42 pm

Wife just told me that parents actually queued up OVERNIGHT for Nanyang Kindy!! This is even not for 2012, but 2013! To top it up, its only for waiting list.

What wrong with neighborhood schools or kindy?

Singapore have a world class education, its in the curriculum. Studying in famous kindy alone doesn't guarantee success. Its takes many other aspects in life. Are we concentrating on the wrong thing? How do we explain foreigner that came over just to study and aced!

School is secondary, important is how you teach your child...

Important is how you teach your children to queue up early for everything.
