It's not just singapore, but the other asian countries china, japan and korea and maybe some more other countries though i don't know much about them. I guess competition is the reason.

That's so weird...I literally just learned the expression 草莓族 like an hour ago in class, and now I come here and find this.

Also, I thought the kids in that picture were playing Pokemon with kickass deck sleeves until I noticed that there were four of them holding cards.

Are you a Chinese in NZ or a Kiwi trying to learn Chinese?

I see the same thing in today's youth here. Their parents have made sure that their children have all of life's modern conveniences even at the expense of basic necessities like clothing and food. The youth feel they're entitled to everything, but they're also easily intimidated and doubt themselves. The stress put to perform well on standardized tests affects both the students and the teachers. We encourage the students to put themselves out there and get creative, but our system beats them over the head with the idea that EVERYONE MUST GO TO COLLEGE and that COLLEGE IS THE ONLY WAY despite what I see as a lack of skilled laborers and admin in the modern workforce. As an up-and-coming high school teacher, this concerns me. Good food for thought.
