Yew Chung students simply lack the agility, the sportiness, etc that you see in the eyes of children (Chinese or western) under western education. Education is a package deal. It is not only the language environment. It is also the culture and you need to be immersed in it to be part of it.
Different people have different needs. I know that Yew Chung is an extremely popular schools. I heard that they have long waiting list and I do think the Yew Chung would be a good choice for those who need a "fastpass" from local school to international school education.
Hi almon,
As I said in my earlier post, I don't see any significant disagreement between us. Somehow I agree to what you said above, but I would agree more if you added "Some" before "Yew Chung students".
I guess I failed to make myself very clear. The point that I made (or I thought I have made) in my message #14 is that it is unsafe to conclude that a school is more like a local school simply because most of the students there are Chinese and speak less than perfect English. That is, to me, elevating the importance of English to too high a level. If you say the students lack the agility, sportive outlook etc, fine, I will agree. No problem. But English and race, highly relevant though, are not the only factors. I am probably 10 times more "international" than the perfect English speaking BBC (British born Chinese) next door who works for me; and my Indian neighbour who speaks horrible English (with a very heavy Punjabi accent) is probably 10 times more international than I am.
Good Day.
P.S. Talking about fastpass, a space mountain ride is fun to all. I don't care whether the ridders are holding a fastpass or slowpass or whatever pass. Good to those who are lucky enougt to get on the ride with a privileged goldpass. If more can join the ride with a fastpass, even better. Let's have fun together and enjoy the ride.
