Education System

Well, if you have not heard about the Education System here and been thinking that it is all that good coz it is world recognized, then you are sadly mistaken! The good part is that it is world recognized but there is lots of stress on your child and your child may or may not be able to take the pressure.

Mothers today in Singapore are not only stressed up by their work but also by the education system here. Not so educated mothers, they have to depend on the school teachers to educate their child and if you pick a not so good school and your child is not so the bright type, good luck to them coz you have to hire tuition teacher or sent the child to extra classes to buck up in their school work. These cost lots of money.

Those mothers who are slightly a bit educated, and have not much money to send them to lots of extra classes, have to spent time to teach themselves and then teach the child and still have to send them for extra classes in hope that they still do better in school. Like after a day of hard work and HELL from boss in the office is not enough but come home you have to watch what homework your child have and make sure the child does it and have it done correctly. Why? If not, it will come back as correction, it will still reverts back to you to show the correct way of doing it. So ... mothers are also doing part of the teacher's job too these days. Sad but true!

You might think it is transparent that the Education System does not categorize the child, if you really see it deep down, it isn't all that of transparent at all.

Then if your child don't pass and move up to the next level, you are to be BLAME for not making the enough effort to watch over their school work!

So what to do? Knock off early to get home to watch over the school work. Hope you have an understanding boss that allows you to go home on time and not work you to death so that you got the energy left to bring home to teach your child TODAY's Homework. Thus, it isn't enough to just emphasize to kids today that "if you don't study well, you will end being nobody" you must also watch over the school work assigned.

This how the education system here today. Children can no longer be the innocent children who just play, have fun, do their studies and just move on in life. They are perssurize to keep up with their school work and marks to keep the school reputation going.
