Education rat race begins for Jeremy

Apparently, I was advised to queue up to apply on behalf of Jeremy the school of choice tomorrow. As long as its a Chinese primary school, the queue is expected to be long. This is so even though the school is so called not 'elite'.

Application is also very strict, in order for the school to verify that you live near the school, one needs to bring some utility bills to show you really lives at the address you declare.

To me, I attribute this phenomenon to the failure of our education system. Other than private schools, the Chinese schools seem to be the only alternative if we want the child to have a sound foundation as they position themselves at the starting line of a long marathon rat race.
