I have always thought that if I ever had children, I would never put them through the hellish and useless SG education system. I would want them to grow up with values (polite, kind, etc.) and to be globally-minded citizens, not robots who are fixated on how much money they're making and how much money they have for property/food/shopping. <br /><br />I am now in the US--it is not perfect here, but it was the first time I felt like I had rights as a person. I felt more welcome here than in my technical motherland too, which is sad to say the least!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-88996949888853426722014-01-24T15:21:25.562-08:002014-01-24T15:21:25.562-08:00Me too I noticed that many people in Singapore are...Me too I noticed that many people in Singapore are kind of selfish and focused on themselves.
