I wish that the parents would not be allow to do volunteer works in order to place children in school of their choice.

I wish less foreigners everywhere including schools for children.

I wish Singaporeans have less difficulty in finding a work and the pay not like peanuts and have to work extra long hours.

I wish Singapore would be a safer place. Because recently seems lots of things happening like dead body found in tank etc.

I wish flats would be more affordable soon.

I wish people would be more gracious…

I wish restaurants would do away those service charges, but currently I also "ban" those which have those service charge and would choose those without, to dine. Taxis no surcharges and other don’t know what charges…

I wish no motorcycles/bicycles anyhow park anywhere on the walkway or zooming around on walkway meant for people to walk on.

...

Though I am a tutor, I don't advocate tuition if a child can be an independent worker. I used to decline students who were doing well on their own but now they are very rare species. :slapshead: :stupid: On the other hand, the syallbus is so tough and MOE has been rising the bar year after year, even genius also has problems. Actually tutors are much more stressed cos parents have higher expectations from tutors than teachers. Reason being when their child can't cope, teachers tend to be excused cos they have too many students to be able to give individual attention. Tutors got no excuse esp. if they are teaching one to one. Some parents' attitude is 'pay you to tutor and my child still can't perform means you are a lousy tutor. Since my child has tuition, the least I expect is all As, nothing less than 90\" 😓

tutormum,
i know you good tutor, dun angry me hor.
nowdays, school teachers oso know you are good tutor.
they like you very much leh.
you make their life very easy, you know or not?
