Why Chloe Likes Her New School?

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart, This Town, School - Mama BoK @ 3:59 pm


We’ve chatted with a few parents from different schools and chloe’s old school.. and all of them feels that we’ve made the right choice to pull Chloe outta school now and return this fall. But having said that.. and having heard from a parent from Chloe’s old school where they are encouraged to use only french for show and tell, we might not go back to the old school for French. And because of where we lived.. we just might have to send Chloe to the closest school which is what is expected if she was gonna be in just English.

I took Mandarin as my 2nd language .. and English is compulsory as first language back home but my teachers back home didn’t say we can’t speak in other languages when we were in school. Over the last week or so, we had spoken to several parents who have had kids in high school doing French too, and from what’ve heard.. the French classes were quite NAZIs . .if you know what i mean. That kinda scare me a little.. because .. hey..!! we spoke in English & Mandarin and dialects plus a little of Malay back home.. and we all coped.. and none whatsoever gave me the feeling while growing up.. that the schools or teachers were NAZIs about the language. And here i thought .. Singapore was a NAZI country.. muahhahahahaha!!!! I guess i was wrong eh.
