I feel bad for her.<br /><br />My son heard from his friends that their Chinese teacher cried recently after failing to convince a group of students not to let go of Chinese Subject in form 4. How sad.<br /><br />There are 2 papers for ICGSE Chinese subject. One is too easy and was taken by those who treat Chinese as a foreign language. My son will take the other paper. Hopefully he will put in more effort...Even though your daughter is not taking any exams, perhaps she can read Chinese newspaper in order not to forget what she has learned.

Some teachers are also unkind to those weak in the language instead of motivating and encouraging. My daughter was very upset that her teacher called her a 'banana' and read her essay out loud during class as an example of what a bad essay is. Anyway, I'm glad she still uses Chinese when communicating with her friends since we only speak English at home. Kudos to you for not letting your son give up the language :)Sunny-Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520571411733230242noreply@blogger.com
