Growing up in education..

PSLE results was released last thursday.. Some parents are anxious about their child's result, some are not. Topping this year's PSLE is a China Born student, scoring a high score of 290 points..

My boss' son did well with 246 points, but he seems not satisfied. This is the state of pressure that anxious parents place on their child. Is it for the betterment or worse? I believed it is important. Setting up the right environment for the child to grow is the first priority. Getting a place in a good school for them is equally important as the values we imbue in them during their growing years.
He was sharing that the time he put in volunteer parenting work just to get a place. This may sound ridiculous, but important to me.

Already, I have been in thoughts with my queen to get my princess in a good school in the coming years, including pre schooling centre. But is it enough? I am not sure, but what I can be sure is getting the right environment for them to start is the bare minimum.
