SINGAPORE - Five parents have banded together with the ambitious aim of getting other parents to focus beyond their children's grades in Singapore's academic pressure cooker.
The group, which is launching its Life Beyond Grades movement next week, hopes to bring about a mindset shift away from the relentless pursuit of results, which they feel is contributing to the growing stress and depression experienced by youths here.
