Just for Laugher. For Singapore Parents.

A Conversation Between A Couple Discussing About Tuition. (Not based on true story)

—–

Husband: This is crazy. We can’t afford to send both children for both group tuition and home tuition. I don’t know why you’re even contacting a tuition agency.

Wife: Because PSLE and O Level are approaching. We need to ensure that they can get into the top schools.

Husband: Paying $1000 plus a month for all the tuition isn’t an option. It’s out of the question.

Wife: At least primary school tuition is only $400.

Husband: You’re kidding me, right?

Wife: OK, It’s more like $450.

Husband: We. Can’t. Do. This.

Wife: We might get financial aid.

Husband: Even if we get a few hundreds, the tuition fees will still be overbearing.

Wife: But we have savings!

Husband: That’s before the market crashed.

Wife: But we still have our CPF. We should invest in the future: our children! We’re old, disposable, our lives are almost over.

Husband: We’re not 88! We’re just 38. We could live another 50 years if my boss doesn’t sack me.

Wife: But when we get old, I don’t want to be a burden to them. When the time comes, we should migrate elsewhere and leave them alone.

Husband: I do not want to go anywhere. Singapore is my home!

We strongly advise parent to find a single good home tutor or tuition center. Overwhelming the children with too much stress will not be good in the long run.
