As early as in primary school, kids in Singapore now has opportunities to travel overseas for some sort of 'exchange' program. This could be a short trip of a few days or as long as 6 months. Subsidy is normally capped, making parents need to fork out the rest. Is this norm healthy? I am not too sure. I feel that an imbalance of opportunities and sense of unfairness may occur due to the family ability or peer pressure.
Nevertheless, we send off Qi for her summer vacation and school in US and Canada in early July. She will be away for 6 weeks enjoying her experience far away from home, also burning a big hole in me as her main sponsor. Sigh... unhealthy trend?
