Have shortlisted 5 schools... 3 of them international schools.. 2 of them local schools with international streams.

Found this description of one of the schools on wiki: "...when they graduate at fifteen or sixteen, these students are excellent in that they are well developed in mindless working skills and the ability to obey their superiors without questions. They are ready to go to the army where they are sure to further exercise their obedience..."

It was probably edited by someone who has a grudge against the school. But it does hit the nail on the spot. This is exactly what you don't want school to do to your child - turn him into a mindless and unquestioning being.

Sheeze... why is it so difficult to make a decision on what kind of education you want your child to have? Everyone is telling me that I'd regret it if I don't put him in the Singapore International School... that he won't fit in when he comes back.

Ok, so we mould him into a nice piece of jigsaw? Train him to succeed THE Singapore way? I commented before. This is the easy choice. Because it's also THE mindless one.
