"I appreciate the post for speaking out the truth. Not every child (and adult) has academic potential. Not every person has leadership skills, not every person is good with numbers. For children and adults alike it is necessary to become aware of strengths and boundaries, so that correct decision on career path can be taken.
Rather than pushing children to fulfil social status, parents should spend time in understanding potential of child, and then work on next steps. Large gap between child's potential and parent's expectation can have devastating effect on child's career and self-esteem."

"Most parents are misguided, or don't have any information about gifted education. Primary schools, both public and private, spends no effort in informing and educating parents on gifted education. Popular big tutoring businesses uses this information vacuum and promises all parents of success in selective. This is an impossible promise.
Mary Woods I truly appreciate the post. It is the child who takes the test, not the tutor. Child's potential is a very important metric to determine future academic success. To keep in mind despite attending same tuition centres and same school, one student can get into JR, while the other will not get a place in any selective school. This is because tutoring is hardly a differentiator, potential/giftedness is the real differentiator."
