"I know of a Singaporean mother who has just come back from Germany for her son's education because she feels that the system in Germany is the other extreme - too relaxed, no home work, everything at one's pace, but usually pegged at the speed of the slowest child. Sir, I submit this is not the outcome I welcome, as soon, we, as a nation, may lose our drive and competitive spirit and that is the sure road to perdition." Dr Amy Khor Lean Suan

I sure hope the Germans don't read this. I don't think I'd like it if someone said that the education system of my country would cause the downfall of the country.

Even if another country's way of doing things is different from your own, I don't think we should criticize it for it's faults.
