What is wrong with our system?
-
Remembered I had one classmate from Taiwan. He was very keen in electronics. He made all sorts of interesting gadgets, buying his parts from SimLim. He sold some of his 'products' to the shops too. :celebrate:
He didn't do very well in the exams and he was posted the the building estate mgmt. Think he rejected the course and went elsewhere.
May be we have lost one good Taiwanese New Citizen. He would have stayed if he was posted to EEE. (electronics engrg) :shock:
Saw some post on another website, Govt is recruiting engineers from Taiwan. I notice they are very enterprising and good in their fields though they may not be fluent in English. Is there something good about Taiwan pri/sec education we can learn?

Then slow kid then how dont take :spank: :pokeeye: :torchme:With my knowledge, I make a very good teacher for those keen to learn. :lol:
But, facing a rebellous kid, who refused to learn....
I am clueless.
That's why my friend's tuition centre has entrance exams... :!: He only takes in the good students.
:celebrate:
Rebellious kid not necessary no good kid ...as a teacher you know the
pre- requisite ...P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E
I Salute teacher that is teaching because is their calling not just a job.
Teachers like this have all that is required to plant the seed in any child
which in time will become a Rose. ( this is a very nice song). :love: -
Read on Yahoo news: Chinese tourists came to Singapore to spend $100k on branded goods. The Singapore shop owners are so happy.
Thot they were earning RMB$600 as university professors, many were very lowly paid not very long ago? :?
How they do it? Why our system does not allow us to boom like dat? Our salary did not increase so fast that we can go neighbouring countries and spend S$100k on branded goods every year.?? :? -

Singaporeans in general did very well in schools and many are doing better. Our kids Maths+Science are top in the world.
Why there are no Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Faraday, James Watt, etc.? Oh ya, Sim Wong Hoo is running out of steam. Creative Share drops a lot. Nobody helping him?
Our CSM - Chartered Semi Conductor selling away. Taiwan TSMC does very well and listed in NYSE. Where are our SMART Alexes?
We are only scorers? No doers?
Why?
There are no really successful global entrepreneur from Singapore and that is because the government started out building this country's economy by educating us (and now our children) to be employees for foreign MNCs.
This policy is still in force today. The general push is to increase the number of engineers and technicians to fill the factories. Now that the government wants to go the high tech research and high finance route, the war cry will be for postgraduate studies and finance/banking education.
The fact that we are all on this forum shows how much we have been herded along, pushing our kids to score those A*s so that they will not end up at the bottom of the pile.
Geniuses and Nobel laureates are not born out of countless hours at Learning Lab or Mindchamp. In the same way, global businesses cannot be created in our overly-engineered society.
Spend a month in Shenzhen China and you will get a sense of what entrepreneurship is. Everyone gets a fair shot at success. The chances are of course better with the right knowledge, sufficient capital and connections.
We can keep dreaming but the chances are as good as producing world-class footballers without having the open spaces to kick a ball around in. -

If we ( the Super parents) dare to take the Risk and let our children run free and dream , we will have a born and breed SG Nobel laureates one day....

No seriously i mean it.
If one cant even dream of it then the chances of achieving it is zero.
