It's not the exam-lah!

I receive more emails regarding the previous article - I would like to stress that it is not about the examinations-lah, it is about education. Examinations (no examinations) DOES NOT EQUALS education! We cannot just make small fixes and expect things to work.


We need to look at the bigger picture, yet be very focused on our child(ren). They are not products to be passed through a production line. The are people, we need to infuse them with values, inspire them with creativity and bring out passion to be what they can truly be.

That's why some have come out of the system to take alternative routes - I think the more alternatives there are, the better. Each child is different, and special.

Why are you receiving emails instead of comments out in the open? Just wondering...:D

Coz if you had comments out loud here we can see the collective voice and respond to them as a community.

Thanks for your comments. The reason I don't open the comments is because for every legitimate comment, I get 10 spams usually of the over-18 nature.
