Re:YW Channel 1
| Dear Anthea, 
 Glad to read your stories.  Apart from Snoopy MH,
 I love the Potonghua teacher too.   I wish my son could meet her next year at YW.
  
 
 Anthea 寫道:Yes, I really like Dr. So.  I like her not because she has 4 gifted children but because she has special views on children and the way of bring them up.  There may be many gifted children, just look at how many in BK, but the life of being gifted is unusally difficult. Since the children feel sitting in classroom is very boring and the children of their age is very naive, they seldom fused into the society harmonically, some even named naughty, hyperactive, outcast.  Dr. So and her husband's family are hightly educated, but not gifted, so she was new to bring up gifted children.  Highly educated parents don't guarantee good parents. Dr. So bring up her children with their talents respected and developed, yet also emotionally mature and joyful.  Their family do a lot of social service from baby stage till now.
 
 My problem is solved by the school yesterday.  In order to care of our need, they will put 2 tables in the covered playground for us to use and get it removed by the end of the day so that there is enough space for the kids to use next morning.  When we are doing homework there, Headmistress came over to see if everything is OK.  I saw her carrying a beautiful calendar notebook with a photo of her and another girl as cover.  I was curious so Headmistress told the story of the girl.  The girl was once her student.  She once join the swimming gala but was too timid to finish it, hence she become very unhappy.  Headmistress told her the greatest failure is not being the last to finish but withdraw from the game, she should embrace challenge and overcome it.  Since then the girl try her best, after some years, she won the champion of the HK interschool swimming gala and give her golden medal to Headmistress as her thanks giving gift. The girl graduated from her primary school last summer, the girls held 2 thanks giving dinners, one for the current school teachers and Headmistress, another for their past Headmistress. They had taken a photo that night, the girl used that photo to make a calender notebook and another notebook for her past Headmistress so that her past Headmistress can always carry her photo with her.  On the other hand, she past Headmistress also made a gift by herself for the girl.
 
 I was a bit jealous how good it would be if I had a Headmistress like this when I was small, then I remember when I was small, Headmistress should be Miss Lam only.  I should be grateful to my sons have both.  Last Thursday I had some problems to call my son's class teacher, and expressed that I was worried to hear that her voice chord was still sick, for the boys were always happy, they were always noisy. Instead of complaining, she comforted me saying that she was very happy to teach them.  The boys were not naughty, they just didn't know what was the right thing to do, and what was the right timing. So, instead of saying, "Don't eat.", "Don't move.", told them when they could eat, when they could go, how to sit meant sit right, had to show them the way they should go instead of baring them this or that.  Regarding her voice, she said she would insist not to use microphone until the last minute, because if she used microphone, her voice would be distorted and the microphone would inhibit the kid seeing her mouth clearly which did not benefit them learning Putonghua.  She also encouraged parents not to scold their kids even if their assessment result were not good.  Is that very different from telling the parents to make their ways to push their kids to have 85 marks or above, otherwise this school was not suitable for their kids?
 There are so many heart-warming stories happened here for me to write on.
