Singapore's Educational Culture
Youngsters today are significantly different from working adults -that I disagree.
They constantly live to compare grades over tests, exams, assignments, projects and everything academically related.
When another has scored higher, the first reaction is jealousy.
We are living in a 'plastic' society - Singapore yours truly.
I'm not talking about plastic cards, but plastic people.
Being insecure of one's own achivements over others is a very sad thing today for our young people.
Young people should enjoy their education and their youth, not the other way round.
Please note that I am not discriminating the youth of today but it is the overcompetitive culture inculcated into our youth that is the depressing thing.
