I do have some saying about this line of reasoning:
"Personally, I do not like the ESF schools. They have the so call "cat 1, cat 2.." system" Fine, that the author does not like the separation of cat 1 and 2. In fact, ESF takes the students on spot if the kids comes from aboard and not fit to the local education, provided that he or she can speak fluent English.
"but no one really knows if they really follow the rule." Fine too! The principals made all the decisions.
"I live in an area full of caucasian expats and I know a few of my friend's children did not even have an interview" That is very common nowadays with ESF. I have many friends who are CAUCASIANS that did not get the chance for the interview. But CAUCASIAN does not equal Cat 1.
"wheras I also know a few chinese kids got in the same school this year and they were not from an ESF kiddy." So, those poor CHINESE who got in ahead of CAUCASIANS must be the reason for the author's frustration with ESF, "but no one really knows if they really follow the rule." So, the ESF school in "area full of caucasian expats" should not take in those poor CHINESE.
The author seems to be making an assumption that his Caucasian friends should get the place ahead of the mentioned Chinese students who did not even attend the "ESF Kiddy". I guess the author really want to find out who they are and do a justice for her caucausian friends. Why they got ahead of her Caucasian friends. Did the ESF school in the "area full of caucasian expats" made a mistake. Because of this mistake and the big class, she does "not like the ESF schools".
To make the author like the ESF schools, the ESF school should:
1. Abolish the Cat 1 and 2 system.
2. Enforce the rule and only take on the Caucausian expats.
3. Abolish big classes.
4. Bar anyone looks or feel like Chinese from ESF or at least behind her caucasian friends in areas "full of caucasian expats."
Does it really occur to her that the definition of Cat 1 does not equal to caucasians? In fact, all the so called "Chinese not from ESF Kiddy" are in fact Japanese, Korean and kids with Chinese origin coming from the UK, US and Australia? This is in fact the case. That ESF school in "an area full of caucasian expats" is the leading school in terms of academic achievement, racial harmony and pride of cultural diversity. The principal and the vice-principal are top educators that I admire (I know the quality to be a good principal, I hired 3 myself.). This kid of accusation is an insult to their integrity.
I found the author's comment to be degrading and it just reflects her inferiority complex of being a Chinese and her ego of having so many caucasian friends. This is an unjust accusation to the ESF school in "an area fullof caucasian expats".
Wake up! The author should check out about the academic background of those Chinese parents that she had mentioned, the number of caucasian subordinates they have, the previous elite schools in their own countries (not ESF Kiddy) that the Chinese kids came from, before making her caucasian friends look embarrasing.
