Reasons:

1. The children is the parents one, not the tuition teachers one. Of course the parents will have genuine interests in the children, whereas the tuition teachers just want to make money only.

2. Via watching the children do homework, be their spelling exercise narrator, as well as providing guidance when they encounter problem with their homework - can help to froster the relationship between the parents and the children.

3. The money saved from tuition, can use to bring the children go eat nice things, play fun things - this can help to froster the parents and children relationship even more.

4. Attending tuition is actually building a reliance on tuition. The mainstream tuition only got primary school and secondary school, some got until JC. Once go Poly and Uni, they are on their own. Might as well the parents accompany the children with their homework when they are in primary school - this can help to train the children to be independent in their learning.

Therefore, based on the above 4 reasons, actually no tuition would be better.

Accompany children do homework, not only can save money, can also obtain much more effectiveness. :)
That was Xi da da's reasoning olso when he destroyed China's booming tuition industry. But he cannot stop there, also destroyed their real estate industry. Also destroyed their finance industry. Also destroyed their gaming industry. The list goes on and on. He single-handedly achieved what legions of anti-CCP activists overseas could not.

Really, imo, that's too academically and cognitively heavy for a young child.

Compare to this, which is more on personal development and experential:
Singaporean parents shell out thousands of dollars to send preschoolers on Japan exchange programme

Quote from the bottom section of the article:
QUALITY TIME WITH CHILD MOST IMPORTANT: EXPERT

Experts told CNA that such overseas programmes benefit the learning and growth of preschoolers in some ways, but urged parents not to overlook other factors that play a part in their children's development.

Early experiences affect the developing brain architecture of preschoolers, with lasting implications for their future learning and health, said Dr Chin Hui Wen, lecturer at the Singapore University of Social Sciences’ Early Childhood Education Programme.

Studies have shown that young children need a wide range of everyday experiences and adult interactions to thrive, she said.

Some parents use tuition as a way to show that they can afford it for their children. Have seen parents bragging about this and that and will improve the children's grades etc...

But some of these children do worse than those who don't have tuition. What a joke. :s13::s13::s13:
Ya kena suan before. When i said i rather drive than tuitions for my kids. I spend time guiding them.
Relative say this kind of money cannot save. Whahahha

Spelling n tingxie no need aim for full/ high mark. I don't understand why some parents can force their kids to get full mark for tingxie n use this to boast. In my family, I always tell them to learn the words but don't rush.I want them to know how to write n understand the words. Tingxie usually is weekly or biweekly. Parents normally made them study within a week n the kid promptly forgot it after tingxie.

I always use tingxie time to make a point. It's ok to make mistakes. After doing corrections, you will remember the word you gotten wrong more than those U got right.

If u have done it and your kids progressed well, congrats.

Else, you will never ever understand why some parents send kids for tuition.

Sorry, both are wrong. It's 2024 for goodness sake.

Who needs the parent or tutor when you have ChatGPT.
