Parenting - 21st. Century Style

Parents naturally want the best for their kids. These days there's a lot of pressure on kids to succeed in school, sports, music, art, life, etc. Elementary school kids go to various after school programs to help them excel; such as this one example below which is not a bad idea if parents don't over-schedule their kids' free-time.



However, I can't help it but this comes to my mind instead whenever I see those children's sometimes sad, reluctant faces when they drag their tote bags into the KUMON Center.


[Footnote: If you are Hokkien-Chinese from S'pore/M'sia, you get the joke. If not, the words below "KIASU" is self-explanatory]
