      This is madness. Some pople cannot even afford normal school fees and here we have people spending 6k a month on extras.


      I am curious where the child finds the time to have all those classes at Sec 3!

        ER, it isn't madness. Everything is relative. What is madness is if you get some rich folks paying for some services LESS than what you have to pay, and/or getting scholarships that would deprive others who could not afford - THAT IS the MADNESS of today's society - any society in fact.

          Madness is when there is more than 1 person clicking on the YES button...

            This amt could just be the monthly depreciation of a 1M car for the rich. Their kid's education is definitely more important than the car. Anyway i don't even bother as i know if we start comparing and there will be no end to it.


            There should one more choice up there - Can't be bothered

                    Even if you can afford it, can the child take it? They'll burn out in no time. Madness!

                      \"Her son is a straight A student in a top boys' school here yet this mother spends $5,800 a month on his tuition....
                      To top it off, she pays people to do her son's homework when he can't cope with the combination of school and tuition assignments.
                      She pays $200 per hour if they have to swing by before midnight and $250 an hour when it's later...\"

                      Something is seriously wrong here... :yikes:

                      Fast forward 20 years.

                      Let us see this parent pay top dollars to solve the precious son's marriage problems, failure as a son, husband and father, dishonesty at work, incompetency in managing his personal finances, brushes with the law etc etc.

                        This boy may be attending (say) 10 tuitions. He only has time to finish the homework for (say) 8 tuitions and still learn something from there. Maybe the last 2 that need help and pay someone to complete. This may be an early exposure for him on crisis management.

                        Like a boss take in more orders than his factory can product. He has no choice but to outsource the excess to other contract manufacturers.
