we agree because students are trained in school to answer questions in a fixed format in order to get a good score thus lacking in individuality. In examinations which have creative thinking questions or questions that are out of the norm, students tend not to be able to answer them. This is because they do not have their own way of thinking or strategies to go about solving the problems.

Also, singapore teachers always spoon-feed students with informations that they need and as a result, students become too lazy to even think of solutions for the assignment, they just simply copy everything from their notes. Hence, all the assignments have the same answer without any input from their part. For exanple, when students go overseas for futher studies, they are not able to cope with the independent learning style as they are used to the spoon-feed system in singapore.
