from visiting at least 20 schools and with us visiting at least 20 more, it's safe to say one thing

THE SINGAPORE EDUCATION SYSTEM SUCKS BALLS!

The number of anal teachers far outweigh the number of cool ones we've met.
It's a system that snuffs out creativity and 'encourages' you to obey what others tell you is the right thing to do, and if you don't listen, you're fucked up. There's little space for alternatives, and very little tolerance for students to actually stretch themselves creatively. But in every school we've been to, there's mostly a strong underlining vibe of rebellion, probably stemming from disciplinary oppression. The irony is that most of the 'top' schools in Singapore have a slightly more laxed discipline approach, while the 'neighbourhood' schools are usually the stern and obnoxiously anal and self righteous ones. I'm talking about the people in charge of the schools, NOT the students. The students are cool. At least those had the chance to meet.

We are a country educated by many soul-less uninspired individuals.
