feel very touched just by reading all the threads
we live in YL too, and gave up on long distance travel and branded schools for my 2.5yo girl since the beginning, only considering local schools.
the reason is that i (yes, myself) travelled a lot when i was young. my parents didn't put me to branded school, but just to the district close to where they work so that they can take care of me (i have 2 younger bro needed lots of the maid's attentions at home already).
and now i am a mom myself, i will try my best not to put so much travelling time for my children. UNLESS the time is worthwhile, such as able to sleep well, chat time with mom, learn the environment around us, observe people..etc. NOT playing on the smartphone or handheld games. if i knew i cannot commit to spending valuable travel time with my daughter, i wont consider putting her thru the travel.
for english ability, the living environment matters a lot more than the short 3 hours in school. we hire philipino maid for this reason too. her accent was one of our considerations when choosing one. we only speak english at home until my daughter goes to a local PN, and now my daughter is fluent in both cantonese and english. |
