Public Schools

To Phil, making the customer pay what he or she can afford is totoally acceptable as it is a western notion that is not not preached but bandied as the acceptable way in the West. U cannot complain about here in Singapore as what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. 

Hey jerk. if you're intent on using this moniker then the least you can do is get your spelling and grammar in order. Oh, and ease up on the Red Bulls will you.

Pinkie, you have given the game away. You are just another woman masquerading as a man?

I'm in touch with my feminine side certainly. It helps balance me with all the dirty jobs I have to do. War is hell.

To OP:
:
Very decent (if slightly too high, and too stringent) academic standards, foundation, and good discipline/work habits are instilled in local SG schools.

All of which will stand your child in future good stead, whereever he/she goes on to next - be it private school in SG, or back to homeland. Bilingualism (if not trilingualism) is also highly encouraged, another positive.

If you're worried about the unhealthy competitiveness and homework overload, perhaps enroll your child in the nearest neighborhood school, and not the prestigious elite ones. I would dare say on international standing, even most public obscure schools in SG are comparable, if not better than similar public (not private) schools in UK, US and Canada.

I was watching a tv clip about a new French History Book for the French Schools which, reportedly, relegated much important French history to the dustbin.

Critics claim it is PC gone mad.

For example such important figures as Napoleon receive minor mention and are portrayed as we today portray Gaddafi. One photo of Napoleon shows him sitting on a toilet.

The main component is African history which, publishers maintain, should be taught to a multi-cultural France.

It also tries to sell the importance of the EU.

I won't go into the details but I am curious who wrote this garbage and will it be adopted in Singapore?

It's not the time of Napoleon right now, and people and kids need to learn how to live now, not way back when. I would think that society and environment would be a different lesson than history anyway.

Well there are those who say if we don't remember mistakes of the past we will make the same in the future.
Also we have mush to remember and celebrate; its our history, its us, warts and all.
A disturbing pattern emerges in Europe today, of violence among the young whose past has been obliterated by an orchestrated PC policy worthy of the greatest fascist/communist brigades.
All this to accommodate multiculturalism which has already been discredited?

"...mush to remember..." Good lord POD, we're only ten minutes into the cocktail hour and you're already slurring your words.

The thing is, history's written by winners, and the French only have a few intermittent wins on the board since the Napoleonic days. Confusion and doubt have set in, and questions are being asked.

Leave the children at home and leave for work elsewhere.

Leave the children at home and leave for work elsewhere.

Talking about cocktail hour and slurring one's words, what do you mean "Leave the children at home and leave for work elsewhere"?
Is it an anagram?
