Coaching centres
Have any one of you ever tried to understand what is going on in the name of coaching outside the schools in the so-called English Medium schools? I am a poor father of a student of O-level. The teachers of O & A levels in different schools are engaged in coaching outside their schools. Two thousand and five hundred bucks a month is the fee for the Two-days-a-week service. Besides going to their respective schools, many students start to go there for each subject, as soon as they are promoted to grade nine. The prime effort of the coaching centres is to prepare the students for the exams. As a result, having been utterly confused, the parents like me are going from door to door for finding out the right (?) coaching centre. The situation of the students is even worse. From 8 am - 2 pm they stay at schools and after that until 9 pm they stay at the coaching centres. Their weekends are also not spared. What a pity that the poor kids are running like a spool in a weaving machine for getting a bigger score in the exams. We, the parents, are indeed responsible for this. It is because of our demand that the coaching centres continue to exist and grow.
We are trapped to do so to avoid the feeling of guilt that our children are not being able to hit a bigger score in the exams because they did not go to the coaching centres frequently.
