Holidays Are Here Again But It Is Time to Study!

It is the end of November. Schools are closed for the year and those sitting for their major exams like the SPM and STPM are of course hard at work. Some of my friends who have children sitting for these exams are going through some tough times. They are more anxious than their kids about the exams.

Parents are so keen for their children to do well in school that there are now programs available to prepare them for the coming year. Is it really necessary for the kids to start preparations now or do we allow them to have a good break and just enjoy the holidays?
