Suggested new schools include a law and public policy high school; a language immersion high school; and an arts high school.

SINGAPORE - Once upon a time, Children's Day was a joyous celebration of childhood in Singapore, a day to treasure the innocence and exuberance of little ones. Children's Day on Friday, though, marks eight months of the toughest and strangest year for kids. They have had to grow up suddenly in the shadow of the pandemic, often with parents who were as scared and confused as they were. "I felt kind of trapped in a cage because we were just locked into this house for 12, 13 hours a day, and we could only go outside for a short time," recalls Yaash Kirpalani, 11, of the circuit breaker. Over the months, however, tantrums transformed into habit as kids learnt to wear masks every day, trepidation over Home-Based Learning (HBL) woes evolved into baby steps towards independent learning, and misery over social isolation changed to acceptance as they found new ways to connect. The Straits Times takes a look at how the Covid-19 crisis has shaped childhood in Singapore so far this year. … [Read more...] about A lost or more resilient generation? 6 ways Covid-19 changed childhood in Singapore

The honeymoon period for giant internet companies is long gone, and no one is under more scrutiny than Google . It is facing charges of violating competition laws, accusations of political bias and bipartisan calls to roll back its treasured legal immunities. On top of all that, any day now the Supreme Court will issue its decision in Google v. Oracle , a copyright infringement suit arising from Google's copying of over 11,000 lines of Oracle's computer code. Google has been using Oracle's code for more than a decade. It was caught flat-footed when Apple announced the first iPhone back in 2007. One way Google closed the gap was to copy Oracle's Java code into its Android mobile platform. Java was already a well-known and respected program, and by using it Google could entice app developers to write apps for its phones quickly, to catch up with Apple's early lead. Oracle offered a variety of license options for the use of Java, but Google refused them all. It wasn't the … [Read more...] about Google’s Anti-competitive Behavior Will be its Undoing | Opinion
