My son went for the program, and the motivation died off after 1 week!

My daughter went and said that all they did was brainwash the kids!

I can’t believe they made our kids discuss personal things!

What? The price range of the fees is anywhere from SGD$2500 to SGD$24,000. Ridiculous! Nothing really works!

It is like a cult!

We have heard parents and observers say this!

WOW, WOW, WOW! People have so many things to say and have always pointed fingers outwards. Now, let’s get serious here! Who chose these programs? Who went to the previews and made an informed decision to enrol in these programs?

Now, I am not defending the programs neither am I protecting the parents. I think the fault lies on both ends. Someone sells a product understanding your desperations, and we fall for it! That is as simple as that. The question is this! Are these programs scams?

This is what I believe! No they are not. However, I do believe they are pitched badly and the agreement parents and these companies get into, are not sound. This is where I would like to take the opportunity to educate parents.

When it comes to our loving children, we need to expect more. Be clear with these companies and coaches about what you want, and see how they respond. Anyone who responds with a guarantee of some sort normally does not know what he or she is talking about. Coaching is about getting results and time is a key component.

Most of these camps can be a trigger for getting these amazing results but more time must be given. It must be done in a manner whereby the child feels like he or she has accomplished rather than us giving blind testimonials that the course what changed everything. Be grateful, not silly!

Appreciate your kids for the hard work they have done. I feel this way regardless of whether this is a camp or tuition you are sending them to.

In closing I say this! No, these programs are not scams. Secondly, let’s give the kids the credit when they deserve it. Do they need coaching? YES, 100%! But please go out and find a good one.
