  2.  @nervxxx  I agree with both of you. My son (11yo) is being taught with the aim to score well in tests, but not for life. Looking at another subject: composition. The kids have to use certain "smart" words and the structure they can write up the story is very fixed and firm. No individuality or a development of an individual style is permitted. Result: Compo's of children are pretty good but read all very similar. I personally believe the system in use had a sense when the schools and education in Singapore were still at lower status. It served well in the past to bring the standard of schooling up fast. But it should have been modified and adapted to modern world since a long time already. Look at speakers in the parliament and compare them to parliament speakers of other countries. Mrs. Josephine to me is typical. There is no personal offence intended. It is my opinion her grammar is horrible, her sentences often lack a logical flow, her reasoning often is hard to follow, she speaks with many repeats. Compare her speaking and presentation skills to speakers from Germany, the UK, Australia, South Korea. OMG.
