In Singapore, 7-year-old kids would enter into their first formal education system.
It is an important milestone for students and parents and many parents would get extra support to get a good kickstart in learning for their kids.
As a result, tuition centres are earning a good income from parents who are willing to spend for education.
In the above videoclip, Jethro had to attend English, Math and Chinese classes at the age of 6 so that he could be better prepare for Primary education at 7 years old.
Learning the subjects in advance would have good advantages as well as disadvantages.
By learning the subjects earlier, kids may perform better in schools but they may feel extremely bored when their teachers are explaining things that they have already learnt outside of school.
When these kids get bored, they can often become disruptive or lack of attention in class.
There must be a good balance in the support we give so that learning can be enjoyable and fun.
