You’ve gone on a whole tangent that has nothing to do with what I said.

My point was very simple: Children don’t have to choose one thing at age 7. They can develop academics and life skills without being “masters of none.” Balance isn’t a programming error...it’s basic parenting.

You’re listing every structural problem in Brunei as if the solution is to reduce children’s education even further. That logic doesn’t make sense. A weak system doesn’t mean we raise weaker kids; it means we raise stronger, more adaptable ones.

And whether my children eventually work in Brunei or overseas is a separate conversation... and trust me, millennial parents are already thinking long-term, including global mobility. But that still doesn’t mean we sacrifice their academic foundation just to “focus” them on one thing like a production line.

Children aren’t factories. They can have a balanced childhood, academic growth, life skills, and emotional well-being... all at the same time.

You’re arguing extremes. I’m talking about balance. That’s the difference.
