Referring to the same Lab but was talking more about a full page ad taken out by the Lab showcasing 3 alumni who topped the PSLE in various years. So the question is do we want our DDs to join the \"rat\" race cuz the peer pressure/influence on parents are very real indeed.

Juz read about man whom quit spore for kids. The man actually decided to renounce hus citizenship because he felt the kids were under lots of pressure fr the education here. They settled down happily in Melbourne during the kids sec and tertiary school days.
Hmmm, really , I would love to see my kids spending their childhood in a carefree env with a balance edu system. Playingin the sand and digging
In the mud..ways wrong with that? That's childhood !
