How can this be..? I am totally dumbfounded.
As a teacher, of course I believe in the importance of education. Perhaps, I can understand if parents would like to have tuition for their kids in certain subjects that they could be struggling with. But having extra tutors to cope with existing tuition homework just simply doesn't make sense. I don't want my son's childhood to be just completely about studies!
At the end of the day, I really believe that it is the character and values that we developed in our adolescent and teenage years that is going to see us through our adulthood.
I pray that this is just a false alarm - very few parents are engaging second-tiered tuition teachers. I hope.

I agree with u that values are more important than grades... But we can confidently say this because we have mixed with the elites, attended the best schools, done it all... Besides, life is a lot more competitive now than during our time... and studying can be a form of character building..
Yo Hh, I do agree that we can cultivate and grow values and character (like discipline, determination, etc) as we study.
But by being so focused on it (as if it's the only thing) makes it like we are willing to do ANYTHING so long as we get the grades. This is not healthy for our children/next generation in the long run.
Also, it is true that you and I may have done it all in terms of like mixing with 'elites' etc. But truth be told, I have many friends who didn't come from 'elite schools' and yet are happy, contented and successful in their own right.
I love this type of informative,educational and interesting blog very much.
Nice effort. Keep it up!
