Education. School.
Education... is what many parents want for their child, especially in Singapore. Stress ah! That is something most children would say.
Why Education?
Many would say that it helps to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
Many would say that knowledge is power that is why we should acquire knowledge and one way to do that is educatng since young.
Yea.. we can go on and on and on about it..
Education brings so much benefits.. to the fact that the government makes education compulsory for all Singaporeans, perhaps hoping that Singapore will achieve 100% literacy rate in time to come.
What does Education means to you? especially if you are a student?
Does it means stirring up your curiosity and the thirst for knowledge or does it mean rote memorising - results matter?
Tuition tuition and tuition.
Is it really for your kids? Do your kids really need it or do u want it just because other kids has it?
Best schools. No doubt, parents want the best for their children.
Singapore, I think has a interesting way of registering kids for their primary 1 education.
Parents who are staying within 2km of the school have higher priority of their child getting into that school.
Parents have done voluntary work in the school have higher priority of their child getting into that school.
SAP (Special Assistance Plan) schools, autonomous schools and government schools.
Many of course wants to send their child to SAP schools and autonomous schools.
I noticed that sometimes, students from non-government schools have a kind of different way of looking at life and people from students from government schools.
I can't say whether it is good or bad, but I can say that they really view things differently. I think it's probably due to the culture, and every school has its own culture. Especially for non government schools, there have already been several stereotypes placed on students who are from a particular school.
But do students from non-government schools score better than students from government schools? Not necessarily.
Some non-government schools may attract brighter brains because of the prestige linked to that particular school, but I can say that not all students are genius and not some students from government schools are even smarter than those in non-government schools.
However, I must admit that sometimes, in non-government schools, facilities or different methods may be better.
Sometimes, it's a choice of being a big fish in a small pond or being a small fish in a big pond.
