OPINION
With the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) only two months away, the PAP is trying desperately hard to promote the event among Singaporeans to ensure that it does not become an embarrassing flop.
Acccording to feedback garnered from readers, the Ministry of Education has purchased some YOG tickets and primary and secondary school students are strongly “encouraged” to attend the event.
To save your child the agony of being “used” for the purpose of PAP propaganda, one reader Russell Teo has kindly written down a list of excuses for you to use:
- need to take care of grandparents everyday
- need to collect unsold food for delivery to old folks home everyday
- need to clean old folks home at weekends… See More
- need to take care of injured relative
- need to take care of disabled relative
- need to take care of pets (even stray cat at e void deck counts)
- need to go tuition to score better grade
- need to go for French language class
- need to help out at relative’s/parents’ business (not every child is lucky and do not need to help out)
- need to work to earn a living for family
- piano lessons
- fencing classes
- ping pong session (aspiring to be a world champ)
- preparing for Marathon/ Biathlon/ Triathlon (teacher sure scared he/she may die one)
- ballet (doesn’t work if he is not a gay)
- gym body building to lose weight (always work if ur children is obese)
- visiting relatives during YOG in US/Aus/NZ/Msia
- sudden injuries/sickness/death in family (use sparingly & carefully)
- take MC (make sure it’s not from Msia)
Remember, no matter how “compulsory” they make it out to be, your child has the RIGHT not to support the YOG and become a digit to fill up the empty seats for the PAP.

We will ensure it becomes an embarrassing issue for them .

So just stop your children from attending . What they going to do .
Are they going to ask the principal to expel your children ?

Just because it's your children that they are mobilizing .
It's cheap and they think it's going to be a success for the ruling regime .

Issue martial law? Charge your children with military law ?

Or charge your children with civil disobedience ?

They will + demerit points for O and A level

Heard it from a fellow worker that the school his child is attending already thought of that and willing to dish out some kind of ECA points if the child attends this YOG or something like that.

If the school has the audacity to dish out demerit points .

I say let the public and the whole of Singapore knows .
Better if possible let the whole world knows .
Child labour exploitation .

Obviously ECA pts are only useful if you intend to go a local Uni but has

anyone here actually used ECA points to get into a Uni

Who's "we"? You you and yourself?

If I were principal, I would just put 5% of the grade on the attendance. You'll see how many parents abandon poor old Watchman.

 

[moolightaffairs]

You can abandon . And if the situation gets worst with more audacity .
Till one day you can scream no more . And it becomes a norm .

Parents should not worry too much on the ECA points .

Anyway nothing is confirm in life . You will need to fight at all fronts .

And do not worry too much on schools . You think
your child really benefit from the lengthy homework
that they get are their time learning in schools .
No your child is just another cow to be milked to
feed the thousands and thousands of civil servants
to vote for PAP and man their voting stations .

Confirm a job and all he needs is to learn just that .
I think mentors are better than teachers .
Other well balance learning is through play and sometimes teamwork .
I think some parents and more than capable to teach

 

[Watchman]

The next time you submit to their policies .

Remember that you are too giving them bragging rights
to shout the next time round on how successful they are .

You can restrict the bandwidth and you can send your minions
into the forum here but you cannot deny the fact that reality exist .
