How true this is, but how do we make Singaporean parents understand that early childhood is not about learning primary school syllabus in advance ? #parenttown

Academics is a LARGE thing but its not the most important thing. Sure primary school performance will affect which schl they go in secondary but it does little to affect secondary school performance. Students who perform well academically or holistically are actually children who has a certain level of maturity and self-control/regulation. The earlier this happens, the earlier academic and other areas will perform. For some it comes early, some comes late. But take a back seat...there is SO MUCH more to LIFE than school and grades. Grades certainly did not reflect how much we earn in many many many pple's life
