Hmmm. Interesting read.
Over-preparing children academically deprives them of precious cognitive time in which to pick up the social and emotional skills that will serve them over a lifetime in an age of rapid economic change. Children exhausted by tutoring may lose the ability to imagine and be as creative as they could be. By contrast, play socialises the young by giving them an opportunity to explore the environment around them and express themselves. Thus, parents should look at equipping their children with the basic skills of literacy and numeracy that they need to hold their own in primary school. Certainly, Singapore has rigorous academic standards, but they are designed to correspond to natural stages of a child's development and not repress them.
