Documenting the Life of SG Students [Pre School]

school for singaporean students usually starts at 4?5?6? i have no idea. its wad u call a nursery. defining nursery, it simply means a place where young children and babies are taken care of while their parents are at work. but is it really tt? if u really did believe tt, then i am sad to say, u have a major misconception of what a nursery means in singapore. back then, from what i can recall, the never ending journey of educating ourselves started. we were given games to make stimulate brain activity - scheming.. but nevertheless effective.. after a year of fun, comes kindergarden. 2 years of pre-sch education. we had chinese writing exercises, simple maths problems [ok u cant call it a real problem cuz it was simple - memorising multiplication tables - but maybe it was difficult then], also, we were taught vowels through some games and SPELLING - our memory training started. we would fluster over 10 simple words [names of colours, numbers, ...]. anyone knows how to spell 19?
yes. i know our brain will grow to 90 percent of adult size by age 5. yes. we must make the most of this period. but education at 4? oh wow. no offence but i think some could not talk then? even if they could, it would be made up of simple incoherent words. [thinks about shows where parents keep coaxing their babies to say "papa"] i started talking at 2+ or 3.
yes. sending your child to a nursery can make him more sociable. make him more open and accepting towards others. i cannot doubt that. but apart from this, i think pre-school education is really inadequate and useless? i mean being taught by one's own parents is much better? [foster stong family bonds]. exposing a child to various media from young is also much more beneficial?[but this is not to be mistaken for enrollment of children into music/computer and wadever weird courses there are these days]. so what if they have academic abilities? i dun think this alone can help them succeed in life. yup children in singapore really have it hard.. i pity them. i pity you. i pity myself.
