      My P6 DD in top class in SAP school. Yesterday FT did a survey, asked the kids how many tuitions/ enrichments they attended.


      Make a guess what is the most number of tuitions some of them attended in a week?

          Is it related to 8Days magazine ?

          My guess is 10, the perfect 10.

                All along, I think the enrichment centers/tuition centers are not helpful to the kids. Similarly to maids syndrome, it might generate the habit of over-reliance on external help. Unfortunately, I've succumb to the pressure and enrolled my kid in TienHsia.


                I've a niece in JC 1 and already sourcing for tuition since school starts. Not only her, her group of friends too. I'm curious, is it the new norm now to engage tuition even at JC level? I thought the JC should prepare the students for university, where students should be learning/studying independently. A lot of these tuition is not cheap, $70 an hour i think.

                During my time, whenever we don't understand a certain topic, we'll go and ask the teacher or discuss with friends. Where got tuition ?
                Then go overseas and study Uni how? UK US Australia got no tuition one hor.

                        :faint: :faint: :faint:[/quote]Actually 5 subjects if includes higher chinese. They want to teach less in school then the child have to learn more somewhere else. Otherwise the equation simply won't match. There is no magic or shortcut and i don't believe there are.
