Vidèo - Walking Tasha to school .
Many have asked me whether to send their child to a Mandarin School . Many parents are worried whether their child could cope with the language and too much homework. Also difficulty in getting halal food .
My answer - Mandarin School is the best choice I have made so far ....
The teaching technique in SJKC is amazing , students are more disciplined , kids learn a foreign language very fast since their brain are more adaptable compared to us adults and do bring home cooked meal on a daily basis . As to homework , every parent should spend an hour a day with their child to assist them with their schoolwork.
Surely you can complete them within that timeframe and prepare them for the next day subjects .
Bella was in Chinese kindergarten for 2 years before entering SJKC and Tasha too is in her 2nd year - so they already have the basics . Try to send them for a weekly Mandarin Class prior to that . Even if they start afresh , normally the school provides extra classes for those who are weak in Mandarin .
So to all parents .... don’t worry about it . Don’t underestimate your child abilities . They will adapt extremely fast to their new environment. They might struggle for the 1st one year but things will get better . Trust me ....
InsyaAllah ....
PS - Today Bella told me I need not come during her tea break as she wants to be with her friends . Surely that’s a good sign but deep inside I felt Bella is growing up too fast and I’m not ready to let her go yet . 😀
Have A Great Week Everyone ...
