Banning of after-school private tuition in China

# data[].attributes.body
In the article, the writer mentioned China banning after-school private tuition so that young people would have more sufficient time for rest and recreation. However, underground business for tuition services began to emerge as parents wanted their children to have an edge over their peers.
In China, education is regarded as the best path to success in life. This is why the education system is so competitive.

In Singapore, the private tuition industry is worth $1.4 billion dollars! Clearly, parents are spending a lot of money sending their children to after-school tuition classes. Here are some prompts to ponder on:

- Do you think Singapore can follow China's example? That is, to completely ban after-school tuition. Why? Why not?

- Do you feel tuition is necessary for most students? Why? Why not? You may also bring in your own personal experiences if you are or have attended tuition classes.

I think that it is important for children to have tuition to help them. I think what china is doing is not right because you should not stop children from learning more becaue they still have so much to learn.
In my opinion,I agree with the parents who secretly are senting their children for tuition.
Children should not suffer like this.
I hope that china will lift this rule soon so that children can go back to learning more and looking through what they have learned already.

I think tuition is not necessary for most students. In my opinion, tuition is necessary for students who are not doing well in a subject so that they can catch up with others and for special cases. For example, a student has taken up a Mother Tongue subject which both his/her parents do not speak. In that case, tuition can be very beneficial. I think people should not send their children for tuition unless it is absolutely necessary. If they do that, children will have more time to play outdoors and spend more time with loved ones. Children will be able to lead a healthier and happier lifestyle, with less stress to cope with. In conclusion, I think Singapore should not follow China’s example.

I think to a lot of people tuition can be important. I personally don't take any tuitions. Most people may take tuitions as their parents are not free to teach them as they have no time or even they do not know something. My parents teach me when I am not in school as they are not that busy. When my parents and I don't know how to do something I always refer my problems with my teacher. Some people  feel that tuition is necessary. I don't feel so as tuition gives a student more pressure and as most tuition teachers give students more homework the students can't finish their homework and get really stressed as they have too much work to do.  I think Singapore should follow China's example as it will put less stress on students and we can enjoy our holidays. In China some people use up their holidays to study. I can't imagine studying during my holidays! The thought horrifies me! I think tuition defeats the purpose of having holidays and study breaks. In a nutshell I would ban tuitions.

I agree with China's decision to ban after-school private tuition as it was based on the fact that it is an unfair system. Not all families can afford tuition, so students do not get the same chance. Underground business for tuition services began to emerge in China, and I cannot blame parents for doing so as they have their child's interest at heart, but their reason for doing so is to let their child have an edge over the rest, which is wrong.
Everyone has differing views, so it would be impossible to please us all. What I believe Singapore should do, is not to go to such extremes, like what China did, but instead, try reducing the stress on education and academics.

I feel that China has taken the right moves to help prevent stress in students. I have many friends who are unable to cope with the amount of tuition and homework they have. It is my belief that students cannot be stressed to be able to perform their best in their studies. I wish they did this in Singapore too!!!

I think that China did the right thing, and Singapore should do the same as well. The ban of after-school tuition will prevent stress, as students in Singapore already have a lot of weight on their shoulders, the ban will help us open up a little and allow us to have time for our REAL strengths, such as singing, piano, guitar, drawing, swimming, etc. not to mention the fact on the amount of homework we get daily, it all adds up into one large ball of stress, crashing down onto us students like an earthquake, ruining our chances of doing our hobbies and strengths, so I do agree, that China has done the correct thing, and Singapore should too!

I think that Singapore should not follow China's example. Students in China may not have tuition and that decreases stress but when they do badly for their examinations, they will feel disappointed. In my opinion, it is better to have tuition classes , work hard and then, achieve success. Since Singapore has one of the highest-class education system, I strongly believe that tuition is necessary for most students to cope up with the syllabus. However, having tuition on top of school also teaches us how to manage our time , an important life skill. Personally, I have attended and do attend tuition classes and though it can be tiring on some days, it is really very beneficial. All in all, no, i do not think Singapore should follow China.

As us Primary Sixes are preparing for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), most of our parents have either hired tutors or have sent us to tuition centres to reinforce our learning. Although I understand the reason behind the ban of after-school tuition in China, removing tuition might allow students to sometimes forget what they have learnt in school. Having tuition around will do students a favour by reinforcing their learning so during examinations, students would be able to apply the methods taught in school excellently. Since the PSLE is one of the major milestones in a student’s life, I do not think that it may be a good idea to completely ban tuition because tuition allows students to deeply understand the concepts and methods taught in school. And if we did not have tuition, students may be unable to ask anyone for help at home as their parents may be busy with work. Instead of banning tuition, I think that we should have a maximum limit to the number of tuition classes we attend.  For example, mathematics may not be your strongest subject so your parents send you for three tuition classes for mathematics on the same day! If one tuition class starts immediately after another tuition class, you would feel way too tired! With a limit to the number of tuition classes you attend each day, you would be able to gain sufficient rest and benefit with knowledge! I do agree that education is the best path to success in life, but we should study smarter, not harder.

Since the Primary 6 students are preparing for PSLE, tuition is mostly recommended for students taking exams. Many students will think that after school, you just have to do homework and you’re done for the day. But you just did about 7 hours of learning and about 15-20 minutes of homework.But when you get your exam results, they were not as expected. If that is what is happening in China, their saying about  education is not very true. If we learned to stop, think, and do, should China also learn it before banning after-class tuition?
