Kor asked me this morning, on the way to school, why he needs to learn all those memorizing stuffs which seems meaningless (to him)? Take me for example, I hardly know all the maths I was once so good in or the chemistry stuffs which I majored in my tertiary education! Eeek! Not a very good example, ain't I?
I reckoned all these things he is learning in school, are challenges (other than knowledge) and this trains him how to manage and handle the challenges and whatever possible stress that comes along. This would be useful for more stressful challenges in life ahead of him. Take me for example, though I have no idea what I had learnt in school before, I am facing a great challenge educating and bringing them up right now. It's so much more stressful than homework and exams. It's stressing me out so much I have sleepless nights these days and I'm zombied out during the daytime. It's so NOT FUN.
