Just like I do not understand why some parents would complain their child's Int'l school is not offering enough homework or commenting on other children in the school who do not meet their expectation in discipline even the school do not see any problem
Haven't yet happen to myself but heard a lot from friends

At least I am not a tiger mum.  I am facing hard time here in HK, my husband keeps asking me why it is such difficult to set up a play day with my son's classmates.  Though he is studying in Int'l school, no one has time to play, tones of extra activities are waiting for the children, kumon, chinese, art, ballet, piano, swimming, french etc...  my son sometimes askes me when can he hold a PJ party like in NY....

Yes. I dont like those parents asking for more homework and assist too much in their kids school project! Sigh

I am a "hea" mum

I guess that explains why more expats are relocating out of HK these 2 years.  
Although we do not agree, but the truth is a larger population of parents do want to localize the Int'l schools.....

I feel really unfair when knew that other moms helped too much on kids homework

Don't be upset.  Imagine who will really gain the knowledge at the end :)
I dislike those parents who behave like a local queen thinking themselves are qualified to comment the rest of the school kids and education professionals.  Especially those who would raise up their own complains and force other parents to sign and agree with them.........
