2 JC classmates jump

After this article, I stopped to wonder. Is Singapore education too stressful? I feel that the government should really do something about this. This is not the first case in Singapore. Their families should also do their part as parents. They should pay attention to their children and observe their behaviour. If their children could go through treatment earlier, this can prevent things from getting out of hands. I was shocked to read that even though the second – year Pioneer JC had been seeing a private psychiatrist, this incident still took place.

I feel that peer pressure and competition among students will also affect the students. Students should not have too high expectation of themselves. The school should also counsel every single student and the teachers should encourage them rather than ‘pulling’ them down.
