I so very very much agree with this statement.

Food for Thought... I don't agree with everything but I do agree that with meritocracy, elites believe they are ENTITLED to success whilst others are not... and fail on the attitude of stewardship... and empathy for others who don't succeed.

Again, I don't agree with everything but this is well-written...

Hi Chen,

Since this letter was shared here, I thought it may be meaningful also to share a viewpoint of another parent that was posted as a comment (via FB link) to the letter.

I don't agree with everything she says, but she does have a very balanced stand on parenting. I also identify with her when she says she doesn't know if she's right or wrong in her tuition guts.

Cheers!

Found Pamela Lim's letter. Written in 2011. Not that long ago. MOE's response is attached in her FB note. Her daughter is very bright.
