Academic pressure is turning children into robotsDirector of the Institute for Social Development Studies Khuat Thu Hong spoke to The World and Viet Nam Report newspaper after a student committed suicide due to the pressure of studying. After every case of suicide due to schooling pressure, I get angrier with myself because I cannot change anything. Besides, they cannot help taking their children to extra-classes; they must accept it as a way to cope with our flawed education system. More and more families want to send their children to study abroad, and this shows that they reject the domestic education system. Do some parents put too much pressure on their children, and turn them into studying machines?
