If your kid enrolls in a lousy primary school, his or her future will be ruined. Don't be an irresponsible parent.

As a student at Anglo-Chinese School, Dr. Balakrishnan swam and played football, badminton, table tennis, tennis and hockeyâ€"all passionately and all poorly.
"I was a very bad sportsman," he said emphatically. "But I was very enthusiastic. In primary school, everybody played football. Even in a 20-minute break, you rush out, don't eat, go to the field, kick around, come back completely sweaty, drenched and smelly, and get scolded by the teacher."
His strongest memory from playing football at school was getting beaten up by a friend. "I was 10 or 11 years old. I still remember who it was," he said, politely declining to reveal the name. "After that we all got hauled up to the principal's office – four of us – and we thought we were going to get caned. What made it more embarrassing was that we were all prefects!"
The punch delivered a black eye and several lessons, Dr. Balakrishnan said. "Sometimes even friends can turn against you," he advised. "It was also a good lesson in humility. It doesn't matter whether you're right or smart: there will be times when you are going to be under the guy's foot."
Indeed, most of the crucial lessons of life were learnt on the field, recalls Dr Balakrishnan. "It's how to get along with people, how to get punched up in the field, how to play games by the rules, the humility of knowing that you're not very good, being able to enjoy both winning and losing, and coming to terms with it."
