Kindergarten Kids Have No Status in Singapore

Pangapda SG · 2009-10-31T21:34:11+00:00

For goodness sake! Think, men, and spare our kids!!! What is the purpose of kindiegarten???? Is it compulsory? Is it necessary in the first place? Shouldnt k...

Kids of ages 5 and 6 in Kindergarten do not enjoy any privileges that Primary School going kids enjoy. Their monthly school fees are exorbitantly expensive (S$125)compared to a Primary School Education (S$5.50). They are charged Adult fare at cinemas and as well as when they visit Dentists. If they do not hold a usable Child's Ezlink card and taller than 1.2m, they will also be charged Adult fare. Many rides in Themes parks are catered for those 1.2 meter and above and again, kindergarten kids are out. They are the forgotten groups that our society prefer to cast them out of the society system as if they are not useful or productive to society at all.

S$125 is an affordable price to pay for people to spend time with the adorable children.

These two issues are good and valid. Glad you highlight them. Maybe you can bring these issues to your MP? or write to The Straits TImes?

i think this is a good issue for all to ponder. Somebody should bring this up to the media.

Govt are like bosses, they claim everyone has a part to play, everyone can contribute, yet they discriminate against you and think you're just a nobody as their position is higher than yours. Get what i mean? hmmmm..

Isn't this the common behaviour of most Singaporeans when they suddenly acquired some form of power status over their counterparts?

Be it their own imaginative powers of status egos, arrogance, selfishness and discriminating already formed part of the nature of the Singaporeans around us.

1. Kindergarten is the correct spelling.

2. The kids turn 6 while in K2.

ROFL. The two things you tried to correct are correct in the first place.

update my caste list of singapore from thread name "if a girl slap you"

highest caste no1. PAP and company

2nd : High end FTs(ang mohs and explatriates)

3rd : lower end FTs(most of us prefer to refer them as foreign trash)

4th :Sg gals/women

5th :sg guys(2nd lowest possible caste, always in 2nd lowest position of caste whenever it changes category and rankings)

6th: kindergarten kids(lowest caste of all since these category people do not contribute anything to society yet, the boys will up one status and the girls will up two when they reach primary 1)

so as to speak our law are more protective of highest caste, and least protective of lowest caste

Ts, bring this to Speaker's corner. LOL

Another category ... children out of single mums. No baby bonus and benefits offered to married couples. It appears the govt is telling us, who cares what happens to these poor little ones. But when they are old enough (boys) to go into NS, they suddenly become citizens with equal rights. When they are old enough to contribute to society and pay income tax, they suddenly become citizens with equal rights too. But when they were small and defenceless ... hmm ...

The origin of the word 'Kindergarten' is German that is why.
