There has recently been a lot of debate with regards to removing examinations for Primary 1 students since they are probably too young and would benefit more through continuous learning rather than cramming for exams. Kids should have more time to learn through experience and practise. They should go out to the Botanical Gardens and spend more time outside to learn about trees and flowers rather than from books. They should have stints in the zoo where they learn to take care of animals for a week or two and that would give them more appreciation for wildlife and responsibility.

Otherwise, in the current society that we live in, they might grow up failing to realise that they have to be responsible for eco-diversity and sustainability. By then it will be too late.

Many years ago I was doing my usual walkabout with my photography kit when i stumbled upon this telematch at Jurong Green Community Centre. I liked the excitement and enthusiasm that was displayed by the kids that day as they competed to win not as individuals but as a team.
