The best tuition and opportunity you can give to your children is your own time, your encouragement and a safe and harmonious home environment. No amount of money or external tuition can buy that or outsource that. I know, parents work hard and cannot find the time or effort to provide the three elements mentioned above, but that is what you sign up for when you decide to have children.
Thank for your share my friend !!
Such question existence is a reflection of Singapore education system failure.
Ah ya, still dunno is the KS mentality? Only keep asking about ditching, sign of dementia! 😝
What did the system do wrongly that they have to send them to tuition?
“My father kept telling me that going to school is not only about studying and getting good grades, but instead, education is meant to expand one’s horizons,...
“My father had never forced me to get an A in my exams, and he said it doesn’t matter if I get a B.”
~ Yen Kuok, daughter of Malaysia’s richest man, Robert Kuok
Yr comment is relevant only if u hv a father like Robert Kwok, 😂
@Des Chan
Not really. Plenty of people do well in life without As.
Btw, she had to build her biz on her own.
9:09 That how I celebrated my PSLE as well, but I improved my prelims by 100%
To frame a child to a certain stream, so young, is so wrong, they don’t do it in the West and their kids still does well at the top Universities around the world.
I don't think tuition is necessary for all children , not esp. if the child is intelligent and self disciplined .
They will be able to learn on their own through the internet which I didn't have when I was schooling but was unable to further my studies because my family couldn't afford it and it wasn't as easy as now to get scholarships or student loans .
Children nowadays are so mollycoddled and yet don't amount to anything , esp. when it comes to civil and social responsibility .
A good parent will build child's character
Not giving tuition to serve academic challenges
Depends. Some may need extra help to catch up on certain subjects.
Thats easy for you to say uncle...how much are you earning per month? How many children do you have that are still studying?
@@lamjianyuan What so difficult for you, ah pek?! 😝
@@user-um9re5vj8r its very EASYYY to say, just like the pap and lw, which have done NOTHING for singaporeans, after years...
Typical mess up own life ah pek's mentality.
Whereas, our recent gathering, we are discussing buying another property or upgrading to a bigger property before we reach 50. 😝
Can you afford tuition??
Don't just join the crowd!!
Does your child needs tuition??
My parents dun send me to Tution n im still doing fine 😂 they teach me
i have 3 sons and none of them had tuition. I could not afford it - single income supporting 2 households. My eldest graduated from SIM U and is now an auditor. My second son topped his JC and got a full scholarship at NTU. He is now a computer engineer. My youngest studied at Curtin Uni in Perth Australia. He is now a physiotherapist, currently working in Perth on a work permit. No, I don't think tuition is a necessary. The children can actually manage and devvelop well on their own.
Their father?
Unlike the past, nowadays there are more distractions. Actually, by looking at the child's school results and his attitude towards his study, one should be able to know whether the child needs tuition or not. Is that a difficult question?
The father quietly give money😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No money give what😂😂😂😂😂
No. Don't waste money on forcing your children to do something that they will hate you for. Instead put it in an investment account and when they are older, you got the money to pay for Poly or Uni.
What makes a good parent? Would it be better to make kids skip college and just spend tuition on getting their own flat?
Definitely bad if you continue to do wrong in 2025. Is not the tuition per se, is the bleak opportunity ahead.
This is an outdated form to develop intelligence 😂
Indian said The Loser Family
if you dont invest in tuition, how can your kid get good grades and good jobs to earn the salary to pay you stipends when they grow up?
Tuition is good return in investment,

Guilt tripping parents
Don't be fooled
Bad parent just because didn't give child tuition??
Lame definition
The British never taugh Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia to develop young generation playing sport like Australia, Canada, New Zealand . Why ? Sport will bring people all walks of life united together heart and soul for the country and it hard to control them . They taugh Australian playing sport and united against Asian and China. They dont even allow Singaporean migrate to Australia like hundred of thousand of Vietnamese.Thousand of Singaporean have to retire and give 6 figure salary job to Australian and British . I am so sorry Singaporean, nothing we can do for you. We can defeat the French and American, what chance British and Australian in Viet nam? No chance at all , The British empire collapse already, they just hang in there for left over. " curry flavour" we can speak your language very well, you be surprise kids
It has already been so many years, it has already been 40+ years, what has the pap and lhl done for singaporeans?
Always asking the same question, sign of dementia!😝
@@user-um9re5vj8r its not sign of dementia. the truth is the pap sucks and even some rich people also dont support the pap.
Healthy minds, by now, know how to follow the progression of Singapore to work toward better lives. On the other hand, those who thought that sitting back doing nothing can also enjoy prosperity, their brains should have been malfunctioning!😝
