Hi Everyone,
I remembered that a child born in the year of the Tiger will face less =competition in Schools because the number of children born is fewer.
For example, in a school, (other things like the number of Schools =remain constant); the number of classes are smaller i.e. there should be =less competition for your child born in that year.
If you have a child born e.g in years of competition e.g. The Dragon =Year, Rabbit Year (Very popular years to give birth), or a child born in =the Tiger year, let us have your experience.
This information is useful for Chris, Asian Wall Street Journal in an =article she is writing on.
Do let us have your feedback:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Further to the message below, you can check out this page:-
http://www.geomancy.net/love/amenu1.htm
On the subject of babies born in the Tiger year:-
At the above (green coloured) gate of the former Convent of The
Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), many
babies were abandoned in baskets to be picked up by the Sisters
of the Convent. This was the
origin of the Home for Abandoned Babies.
For over 100 years, the orphanage was home to children from
poor or broken homes as well as
unwanted babies. The orphanage took in many Chinese baby girls
born in the year of the tiger - "
tiger girls " because of the strong superstitious belief that
they would bring bad luck to their families.
In 1963, the Mother Superior noted that this practice was
stopped as there was a marked change in
this supersitious belief. The Home of Abandoned Babies ceased
finally in 1983 when the CHIJ
Convent was relocated.
If you yourself is born in the tiger year or any family members have
encountered such experience or competition in school is `extra keen' during
the Dragon year and `less' in the Tiger year, do let us have your feedback.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

i just read a message asking about competition in schools for anyone born in the year of the tiger, i was born on 1950, so it has been a long time since i was in school. and as far as the question of competition goes, i dont remember feeling any pressure from it, but maybe it is more because of my personality, i really didnt care. i never felt i was competing at all with anyone. but i would be interested to know what the article for the newspaper is focusing on.
