I find this parent very selfish and unreasonable. What do you think?

I'm new to forums so pardon me if i'm not doing things the right way


My son is in 1D and he is having problems coping with Mandarin. We don't speak enough at home and so his foundation is weak. The homework given by lao shi is also quite a lot - 2 x hao peng you with about 6 pgs of work to me done per week and ad hoc writing sheets as well. On top of that, there is ting xie to be learnt and regular tests to sit for.

We have tuition for him in this subject and the experienced retired lao shi says the school standard is too high for his level. On HYPY, he was given nearly 40 pgs of vocab to learn. We are truly struggling.

How are your boys doing?

Was your son exposed to Mandarin during his presch days?
MSH comes with Higher Chinese, thus emphasis for Mandarin is there.
Maybe speak to ur son's current school teacher for feedback.
Get ur son to read his textbook daily.
This will help him in long term.
Do not just focus on writing, else he may hate the subject soon.
On the other hand, you may wanna expose him in some Chinese Enrichment classes to maintain his interest in the subject.

My son is having keen interest in both.
As such, like to know how’s the training for both is?
How soon do they select the kids to be under school team training?
MTIA!
