Tuition is expensive and there are too many centers and private tutors in Singapore. Why students need it???

It is good and bad and depends on whether the child needs it.

Slower students may need it because they may not keep upmwith the pace of learning in school.

The problem is there are lots of "kiasu" parents who still send their kids to tuition, not knowing that their kids are ok. Hence it increases the demand and up go the costs.

Actually tuition centres should focus on helping kids understand how to do their homework. No need to double teach the subject.

Because they want to load their kids with tonnes of information to be exams smarts!

In the end they don't use their brains to think because that portion already flooded with information!

Because they can't think anymore so they ended up voting for PAP!

Education system in Singapore screws up the minds of our kids!

becos parents are pap supporters. Alot of tuitors are fts parents want to help them have a job. Sametime tuitors can brain wash the kid to vote for pap next time.

Because the education system of singapore is an abject failure. Switzerland, a country that the PAP aspires to be like, does not have the number of tuition centres nor force their kids to go thru the tuition hell. The countries that SAF and President scholars like to study in, i.e UK and USA do not have such a tuitoring system, nor subject their kids to hours of homework and tuition after school and on the weekends.

The fact is if the teachers cannot teach all the kids need to know within the school hours, then they have failed as teachers. If the kids have to resort to tuition centres and tutors to understand the school work they were thought in school, its again a failure on the part of the teachers. If students have to do mountains of homework and need the tutors to help them, its just teachings hiding their failings behind all the homework so as to stump the students.

You need supplements only if your diet is inadequate .

Same for tuition-it reflects the inadequacy of the education system which on the other hand like to boast of its world ranking ect2.
