(A) RESEARCH TITLE

“The monthly income of parents as indicators of their children’s mental stress in terms of grades in S1-01, SST Singapore . ”

(B) WHY IS IT FOCUSSED
It clearly states the target people, what we are looking for in those people.

(C) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT
“It is significant as the future of our nation will depend on their attitude, which is manifested and easily affected when they are in their youth.”


(D) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FEASIBLE
“It is feasible because it is easy to do as we have contacts that we can do experiments on. It is also convenient now, as we have so many social networking sites that we can use to keep in touch.”


(E) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
It is manageable as we will be surveying the students in Singapore and in our group, we
can survey people whom we know from the range of ages like our cousins, students from our previous schools,etc. that may still be studying. And, we can give different responsibilities to each member.

(F) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
It is also accessible as we know students from our primary schools, as well as our siblings or cousins who might still be studying now, so we have a range of people that we can observe, survey, interview and experiment on.
