Singapore is already one of the countries with the lowest birth rates and we have to import people to make up the numbers and we are worried about BGR?


I think the lack of attention to proper guidance in BGR is the problem. It needn't be a distraction. In fact, in most civilised societies, BGR is a possible source of inspiration in all fields of human endeavour.

Consider this: suppose we declare a moratorium on BGR until after students have got a basic university degree. What do you think will happen?

I think low birth rate has nothing to do with whether we encourage BGR at whatever age. It's more of unwillingness to take on more responsibilities. My elder boy already declares he will not hv kids :lol:

What’s the feedback from your child on the camp?


Mine: food & toilet facilities lousier than boarding sch. Activities were fun. If sleeping quarters were better (he’s scared of the crawlies on the wooden plank), he wld enjoy the camp more.

gal said it was ok...she was not afraid of crawlies but the toilets put her off...so she did not bathe...just rinse herself for that 2 days lor.. :!:


and she felt that boarding school was like a five star hotel now as compared to camp facilities... :roll:
