Chinese School

I always wanted to enroll my children for Chinese school. I am now hesitant to do so when my colleague told me that her son refused to learn Chinese after enrolled in Chinese school. He is banned to ask out of ordinary questions in the class. The moment he raises his hands, the teacher would ask him to sit down. He has inspired with the innovative way the teacher taught in one of ASTRO educational program using Chess/Lego sets. The poor little boy lost interest in Chinese subject as a result of this.

He was annoyed when his one-on-one tuition teacher for Chinese subject spoon-fed him with exam answers. When he didn’t choose the exam questions that she spotted, he was beaten by his tuition teacher. His rationale was that the topic chosen by his tuition teacher didn’t interest him. He preferred the other question which he could write more things. My colleague was trying to reason with the teachers but they just didn’t accept students who are extra-ordinary.
