Just my point of view ... the interview arrangement was bad.. I asked the teacher to speak in English to my son during interview as my son knows english more than in chinese.  But she kept on saying to him in chinese and later on, she asked me to translate english to my son.  As this is an International kinder, the teacher should speak in english during interview if needed.         

Carmen2004,

Just wonder are you applying bilingual class or international class?

There is no problem if the Chinese teachers do not speak English. In Think, they use native English teachers to teach English and local teachers to teach Chinese. So don't expect the local teachers speak English. In fact, parents do not expect Chinese local teachers teach English. So far both NET and local Chinese teachers are quite good.

If you want all English teachers, you should apply kinders like ESF, CAIS, ICS etc.

Exactly.

If my children speak better in Chinese than in English, but the English teacher keeps on talking to them in Chinese, shall I draw any similar conclusions?

Probably the Chinese teacher wanted to test how well your child can communicate in Chinese.

The principal of the school always encourages small children to have a better foundation of their mother tongue before going onto other languages.  As such, the school always encourages the small children to start with bilingual class.  There are rare cases of Chinese children being admitted to international class, unless they are full day students.  

Considering all these, and what WYmom has mentioned, it is not unreasonable for the teacher who interviewed your child to insist talking in Chinese.

As a matter of fact, I do appreciate very much that they insist in speaking only one language to the students.  So that the student would have no choice but to use the same language to talk to the teachers, instead of using the ones that they are comfortable in.  Otherwise, they would have no pressure and no incentive to learn.
