I refer to this week’s Talking Point, “When kids think of suicide”.
Education is passion, money is motivation. We live in a competitive world with much emphasis on capitalism, consumerism and the five Cs. Educational systems are demanding, and only the fastest and fittest will survive.
Let us reduce the strains of modernity, and allow children to have wonderful memories of a happy childhood. Let us uphold the family values of our founding fathers, and Singaporeans would always remember our leaders.
To tax children mentally at an early age may lead to depression and, when untreated, could cause suicidal tendencies. Over-competing may lead to injury, whereas the idea of participation would promote a balanced lifestyle.
