Living in a failsafe world

We want to be number one, always. (Taken with the LC-A+ using Fuji Velvia RVP 100F film.)

Staring at me, on Straits Times' Home headlines today, was this: No tuition? No way, says some Singaporeans. Students with good grades say they need tuition; students with bad grades say they need tuition.

I hate to be pressured into hiring a tutor just to play catch up with what the education system here defines as good. Call this an underachieving mum's perspective, but is it so terrible to fail?
