At the National Day Rally on Sunday, I said that it is good for young children to play and learn through play. We should not force feed our kids, and turn pre-school into a prep course for Primary One. I am glad that many parents and educators have agreed with me. I hear that “No homework is not a bad thing” became the most re-tweeted tweet from my Twitter account (maybe by pupils :))!
This article gives an idea why this is so, and describes how children will gain much more (educationally) through playing games and fun activities, than through drills and rote learning. - LHL
