  I'm thinking of promoting homeschooling as an alternative to our peer pressure education system, freeing the minds of SG kids as thinking human beings not mindless feeding machines.

  What you guys think?

  Homeschooling is giving families to educate their kids and not let state takeover...if the state welfare is a dirty word,why state education isn't?

  well... is it recognised in SG then? If not, it will do no good... It would also shrink the circle of friends those children would have if they were schooling...

  U have no clue as to what is peer pressure in SG.May be the kids are too fragile to take a small competition.

  Homeschooling sound like cool idea but you must remember we live in singapore. And the thing is we are multi-racial if you home-school then they can't learn associate with other races. Unless you say you family is multi-racial by itself which is pretty impossible. I think public schooling gives a lot of platform for communication and learning as one big society. After all, Singapore's peace, economy and blah must probably all somewhat relies of the  peace between multi-racials. Though i cannot disagree that in public schooling, it sometimes is kind of crazy, with the peer pressure and stuff. Especially when some kids couldn't catch up in school. It's just have its own pros and cons. I guess like everything else, pros and cons you weigh them according to your own scale. -shrugs-
