does shorter school hours means less demanding?Originally posted by Mat Toro:no i am talking about school system.
our school hours are shorter and less demanding.
the way you say it, people who work longer hours in office = more demanding than those that work shorter hours?
Is the no. of hours the only factor to determine if something is stressful? -
I read Korea also produced famous companies like Samsung n Hyundai. Their students can make it Ivy leagues universities.Originally posted by Mat Toro:singapore only 24 months and definitely not as tough.
It is tue many koreans left because of NS as well.
But like i said, its the schooling system that is a big push factor.
Singaporeans are getting spoilt cos if we compare our system verses China, taiwan and india, they are definitely more stressful.

Let me tell you, you can ignore my questions, but depending on your actions, the rest of the forumers will know in their hearts whether you have substance or not
You are the 1st in this forum (congrats) whom likes to use DEFINITE terms for your 'views'.
Even Gazelle and Oxford attempts to substantiate with information and articles. So far, you are the 1st that talks like you KNOW its the truth, but cannot provide any background to what you are claiming

Unanswered questions to Mat Toro:
1) What evidence does he have to declare NS is not tough?
2) Why does he think Singapore schools is less stressful?
3) Why does he think that majority of research people are foreigners?
4) Why does he think he is correct when he has no articles or info to backup his claims?
5) What evidence does he have to declare ALL hawkers are poor?
6) What evidence does he have to declare ALL of the poor have TVs, refrigerators, some even with flat screen?
The list goes on, but I suspect this guy with no substance will just evade whatever I put up here
Mind you, this guy's posts are not his opinions. The way he said it, its the cold hard truth. In which case, he better have the ability to back up his statements, otherwise he is nothing more than an empty vessel -
