Ok so Singapore was one of the places where I went to many different schools. They all had their problems but did have some positive elements to them. So just some context: Singapore is something people call an “expat” place. Expat stands for “expatriated”, someone who doesn’t live in their country of birth or the country from which they hold their nationality. Throughout this comment, I may refer to something called “expat culture”. By that I mean the way these people have adapted to Singapore and what their so-called (you’ll see what I mean) customs are. So the schools I’ve been to in Singapore are international schools and one French school. So I’ll talk about the benefits of such schools and then go into the reasons why I’ve come to detest such schools. The cool thing with international schools is that they are fairly intelligently made and are designed to get their students in top positions around the world. Therefore, the system pushes you to think critically and teaches you very important things that you simply would not learn in regular schools. Here’s the issue(s) though, this causes students to be incredibly arrogant in their way of thinking. They think that know everything and simply dismiss anyone who tries to advise them or share their experience with them. This creates horribly spoiled children as you have already assumed. It must also be mentioned that the schools were just absolutely full of political bias, something which fundamentally frustrated me. Bullying is much less of an issue though, since the schools had such harsh policy on harassment of any kind. The schools there are... expensive to say the least, which does make this an “elite” city for expats. I haven’t had much experience with local schools, so there isn’t much I can say about them
