The more exposed to Chinese culture - it may have its own merits but you know of the case recently in the newspaper about the child porn.

When they go to Western society, they are a misfit and don't know how to adjust with other people.Better expose our kids to all cultures and people- we are moving towards a global economy. -

The case about child porn is because the MOE scholar knows nothing about these Chinese core values, like a sense of shame, that is why he committed the crime.
This has nothing to do with the fact that he has not been exposed to other cutures. In fact, I think he is overly exposed to Western culture which is much more liberal, and that is not a good thing. He really brings shame not only to Singaporeans, but to Asians as a whole.
Do you actually think that he downloaded child porn because he did not know how to adjust to other people ? Please note that he was publicly caned when in Hwa Chong for peeping a girl's toilet. He was already a pervert and exposure to western culture is not going to help him. -
Yes I think it is very important to teach our child the right values in life. To date I'm still trying through \"trial and error\" to see which method works. :?

Hi parents here, I am also thinking hard on what are some of the values to teach my children when I came across a series of DVDs in the library. There are books as well. The author is Carls Sommer. The values taught inside are really good! He uses very interesting stories to teach children a lot of values. For example, there is this story called “If I were…” It is talking about a mouse who dislikes herself very much. She does not like the look of herself and does not like to be chased by a cat, so she said, how i wish i can be a cat so that I wont be chased anymore. But when she really becomes a cat, she found that she cats are chased by dogs! So she wished to change to become a tiger, but when she becomes a tiger she was being bullied by an elephant, then she changed to be an elephant but was being caught to a circus… You can borrow the DVD to find out the ending… basically, the moral of the story is everyone has problems… So dont keep envying other people… Be happy being yourself…
There are many other stories that I find very useful and when I watched with my kids, I also learnt something… -
As heard from the expat parents :
In Singapore parents do not have time to teach even values to their kids, hence the Govt. takes initiative to teach them through various campaigns!!!
In public transports, it is very RARE to find youngsters getting up to offer place for the elderly, expectant mothers, disabled etc...not only that, we can find them even using the reserved seats for these \"special categories\".
Whom to blame? :? -

MOE only wants provide a strong academic foundation for the new generations. Take a look at the MOE website and you can tell.
The Govt focuses too much on nurturing genuises to keep our society going. But what's the point of producing great talents and/or leaders for our society but their characters are corrupted?
I agree that it is very RARE to find youngsters getting up to offer place for the elderly, expectant mothers, disabled. When I was a kid, I used to see kids of my age or older and young people very readily giving up seats to elderly. These days, we have less than 50% chance of seeing ppl doing that anymore. Some seated young people can literally stare blankly into the air and look totally oblivious to the elderly person standing in front.
Sometimes I really wonder whether when I grow up to be a granny, will I get bullied this way by the young people?
