Home-schooling

Attendance in a government primary school is compulsory for every child living in 1984-ville but fortunately the law still has some sense left in providing exemptions.

The state of affairs in most government schools do not make them desirable places for education and development. A message needs to be sent out that parents can take control of their children's education and development. You have a choice. Who said that every child who reaches the age of 7 must go down that dark path? There is more to homework, assignment and grades. I'll say this again to people in authority:

SINGAPORE DOES NOT HAVE ANY NATURAL RESOURCES EXCEPT ITS HUMAN TALENTS

so please stop making it difficult for kids to grow!

Let's hope something gets done before the spirits of too many children are crushed under the weight of unnecessary burdens.

You want creativity? Then learn to let go.

You want dreamers and achievers? Then learn to live with dissension.

Let me say this again:

SINGAPORE DOES NOT HAVE ANY NATURAL RESOURCES EXCEPT ITS HUMAN TALENTS
