Adeline Ng Ai Choo

Hi once again!
I have read the short story Adeline Ng Ai Choo, from the book written by Catherine Lim. What do you think about it?
My views? Well, I think it's quite touching, but a little too dramatic. I mean, how stressed can you be by your parents, to the extent you would commit suicide? Well, after reading an article my Language Arts teacher gave out, I realise that it was quite true. Singapore has no natural resources, oil, water, rice or anything to sell, we only have one thing, MANPOWER. Thus, education is very important.
I said that education is NOT studying, on the previous post, and I want to emphasise on that. If the father knew this, would Adeline commit suicide? If Adeline knew that and would spend some time to relax or maybe read a book to have a break from studying, would she be stressed out? Definitely not.
One of the main characters in the story is also about the teacher. She thinks she has not done anything wrong and she was just doing her job, but I think not. She could tell that Adeline was going through depression, but when Adeline declined her offer of talking to her, she did not do anything.
You may say that maybe she thinks Adeline didn't want to tell anyone, and wanted to have privacy. Yes, it's true, but she could have at least called her parents, or do something to find out what was happening to her, but she didn't.
The sum up, I think that the teacher could have done more, to prevent Adeline from suiciding.
