Singaporeans need to do better to embrace failure >> https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-mis ... 30469.html


And the fact that Einstein had to first learn 3,000 ways of how lightbulbs do NOT work!

i like this article, thanks for sharing. The fear of failure and fear of criticism or lose face creates an invisible chain that prevent one from succeeding. More stories like this from the \"underdog\" or \"misfit\" can prove that with the right aptitude, one can succeed no matter what \"disadvantage\" situation one is in.

Hope that this school likewise embraces that the same philosophy.

Best of luck to those who are registering today and tomorrow.

School can do so much.. most importantly.. it is the parents that need to have right attitude and mindset. But for most parents.. it is difficult because our system forces us to measure our kids' success based on their results. A 5 marks dip will get the parents in panic mode and start thinking about tuition.. hahahahha.

Its never easy.. it's a constant battle at home for me too. Wife will panic.. and I will pull her back and ask her to let go.. focus on our kids' effort instead of the results.

There's a Palm View Challenge scheduled for November which I think is a trip to the Forest Adventure @Bedok Reservoir. Anything before that I'm not aware of.

This is true and I completely agree. Am already finding myself teetering on the edge of tuition / enrichment classes.

But no. I will endeavour to stand firm. Wish me luck!

I am also one who is trying very hard not to succumb to tuition. Testing my own endurance to see how far I can go. Always telling myself must persevere . Wish both of us good luck ! :celebrate:
