Sinkie
parents have gone through so many rounds of pressure cooking to ensure that
their wards are as equally good as their neighbours. They are so distraught
when their children could not get into good schools, cannot get into gifted
programmes, did not get straight As, did not get A stars, did not qualify for
IP programmes…etc etc. Life is really traumatic to Sinkie parents and their
children.
In
order to please all the parents and release some pressure they put on their
children, it would be good if MOE could design a system where every student
gets straight As. If not, the alternative is for every student to get straight
Bs. Then there will be no more comparison on who is smarter or better.
Now
why should people be disturbed by which kid is smarter than which kid? Aren’t
kids all be gifted differently and are blessed differently? Now what is this
Scroolball or Skoolbo, some organization coming here to test and find the
smartest kid in Sinkieland. They are organizing an event called, ‘Smartest
S’pore 2012 – The Search for S’pore’s Cleverest Children’.
My
God, all the poor parents will be up on their toes to prepare their children
for this event, to be the smartest kids in the island. They have no choice. And
if their children are not, it is going to be hell for both parents and children
once again. How can their children not be the cleverest? Why are other people’s
children so smart?
To
prevent the parents and children from another round of agony, I hope they will
cancel this event. It is just so stressful!
Shane
Hill, Skoolbo CEO has this to say, “Singapore possesses some of the
world’s brightest children and we are looking forward to seeing them show their
skills. I think this is bad as the bright ones will put pressure on the not so
bright ones, especially the parents.
I am so sad when I heard a primary school student committed suicide.
ReplyDeleteDaft sinkies only know how to stress,bully and abuse their children.The should be born as animal.But even animal oso can think better.
Only those dafts ,kiasoo or Erm chai See will get affected by ShaMe thinking.
Maybe Mahathir was right after all. We swallowed hook, line and sinker the meritocracy propaganda and now our children and grandchildren are suffering.
ReplyDeleteHave we done our children justice by exposing them to so much pressure in so short a lifetime. Childhood is no longer a time for fun and play. Life is just one long struggle from the cradle to the grave. Can we really sleep well thinking about it?
No wonder some parents are smart enough not to have kids. Maybe, it is the best decision they ever made.
