Real reason behind Singapore’s obsession with tuition

[dorisp]

Sun_2010:

In our own way we all give phonics lessons to our babies. If SAHP then all the more. All the talking, cooing, singing we have been doing are nothing but phonics of sorts - the sounds are the basis of all language and half of what phonics is all about.

To me the talking, cooing and singing from parents are far better quality time spent with their child as oppose to having to pay some $15 or $20 per session for a specialist to teach phonics to the same child.

Tuition to learn the diff between day and night. You know, at night mean sleeeeppp.

Learn time and intervals. 3hrs interval, cry to be fed only every 3hrly.

My boy already know how to use hand signals to indicate whether he wants breast milk or formula milk or want to be carried Good idea hor, if can have dog obedience course, why can't we have baby obedience course? :rubhands:

I am disappointed, very disappointed that such vital info cannot be revealed.

Was told that heads will roll if compo marks are told.

Why would heads roll? Unless anyhow mark and Kenna discovered la... :siam:

May be never mark just scan through and grade :siam: It is very common that kids don't bring back their compo exam papers.I'm wondering whether the teachers mark them or just scan through and grade them.Alot of teachers dislike to mark compo as there're so many kids in a class.
