@noskich, Ok, then sorry for earlier comment. You sounded pretty much like good few xenophobic trolls we have on this board from time to time. What is then your other post about on the expats ruling SG?
I think in principle you are right but there are some points that need to be taken care of.
This is from my perspective of course:
Education: it is to my best knowledge based on rota learning or similar approach. In spite of different people saying it's getting better in that respect I don't see it at least judging from the final product of the system (i.e. uni students). Children are not taught to freely explore subjects, natural curiosity is not encouraged, it is vastly a knowledge based approach with very limited encouragement to learn 'why' something is this or that way. It is all about 'what'.
Local kids are pretty spoiled. I really would not like my kid to behave like many of them. They are very noisy and often left in public places to roam pretty freely. I fail to see the courtesy and respect to the old people. They mostly show this to their family members. IMHO it is often some form of 'mechanical' filial piety thing. Most people around don't have this every day courtesy (as per Western standards), why the kids should have? I would like to have my kids to be courteous to other people, not only family. To let people out from the bus or elevator, not to rush to take an empty seat here or there, not to litter etc etc. I don't see local kids having such virtues.
Safety point is IMO the strongest one for having kids here.
