[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awesome if you won't care that very few parents speak Chinese at home.  We thought it was a strange school, where only teachers on 1-year work visas and hired help provide cultural inputs, no grandparents, and very few parents or bilingual kids.  Parents and admins claim they would love to change this, but since they try to do it without Chinese admins, it's an effort doomed to fail.  Mention any of this and make yourself really unpopular (and stand accuse of speaking Cantonese) fast.

This is an example of the misinformation that gets thrown about on this site.  The teachers are not on one year visas.  There are many teachers who have been at the school since it opened.  I get its not a school for everyone, but why post inaccuracies for parents who are trying to make a choice.  [/quote]

Don't fret PP.  At this point just about everyone knows not to take that poster seriously.

Really, at this stage, I've come to view Ms/Mr "It's complicated.  There are relationships. / The Admins don't speak Chinese, not enough Cantonese in the school" the way you see your alcoholic uncle at annual family events:  Their behavior is bizarre and disturbing, but after awhile you come to expect it, and when they don't act up, the gathering seems to be missing something...
