Point taken. Being an educator is not any ‘more’ superior than being a teacher. Both are vital and should be employed in the right circumstance.

We might be anywhere between the two depending on the criterion or circumstance. :)

It got me thinking very hard about where I place between these two distinctions. As a fully practicing kindergarten teacher, I’d like to believe that I’m an educator.

One of the themes revolves around exams and unnecessary tuition.

Then we have to put our money where our mouths are. Exams and extra tuition aren’t going away soon, but I dare say that we might reach a tipping point when the policy on values-based education and the notion of multiple pathways to success show dividends.

Individually parents like us can spread the word and fight the good fight ;)

We’re really in a bind here. Parents often complain that school is so stressful and competitive and becoming more so, yet they are making it that way by trying to keep up in the arms race for grades.

The education system is a reflection of society as much as it shapes society.

How do we even start to change this?
