Aiyo, they even compare hospital???? :shock:

I think this is apparent when kids bring their health booklets to school. My kids will come back saying x number is from KK, x number from this hospital and that hospital. Maybe not thinking along high class or low class but rather just curious. Especially when their health booklet is not so common in their class.

If liddat, then those kids born in Raffles Hospital win already lor. Raffles Hospital ==> Raffles Institution ==> Raffles JC ==> Medical doctor.

I also belong to the normal doing category too & my kids are in a elite pre-school currently. Sometime I do explain to my kids there are many rich people in her school etc & they have to learn to be contented.

I belongs to that normal doing category and my child was in this school with many rich families. This thought never come to my mind when I decided to put her there. Neither did I realised got such thing until when she was about P3. I overheard two kids comparing what type of cars their fathers had. Actually, everything was fine. A little comparasion here and there are unavoidable, just have to explain and make them understand, every family is different.

I also belong to normal doing category and my kids are in elite schools because these are our alma mater. No choice, Phase 2A1 on a platter just for us. Don't take, so wasted.

It's an eye opener even for me to see all these rich tai-tais driving lotus and ferrari sports cars to pick up/drop off their kids ... **ah, so envious** ... well, the kids have to learn there are some things we just can't have in life and we just have to be contented with whatever little we've got. Must learn to count our blessings mah. At the end of the day, if they perform well in school, they will be awarded the same recognition regardless of their family background. This is the good thing about meritocracy.
