currently, if your kid is in a sap school or hokkien huay guan...they get to learn more of Chinese including its culture and so forth. My p2 dd is in a sap school and gets to attend lesson about Chinese culture and apparently she seems to enjoy it and it is a non-exam 'thing'...

SAP schools do the 弟子规, very good

culture / values / morals many a time in chinese ed is done through the chinese text book lessons / story / fables.......many stories are also real life stories

You don't need to be a Huay Guan to study in one of the Hokkien Huay Kuan's schools.

verykiasu, vlim and Tnsp,


thanks for ur reply.
my ds is in neither SAP nor Huayguan. Years ago we did attempt to make a campus tour at a nearby Huayguan school but were immediately turned off by its location: there are quite a number of FACTORIES around the school. so we chose a neighbourhood school whose academic performances in some years are slightly better than that huayguan school.

my hubby said: we can be the role model if we want our kids to be filial to us, better than being taught....

but i think that is far from enough....if my kids are soaked in enviornment of things like \"弟子规\", they would become more chinese than chinese in china....

sigh, 一步错....

:stupid:

I think "弟子规" is available in some book shops…but doing it alone is not as fun as doing it in school with everyone reciting it together…and when you see the kids in school bowing to every teachers … and coming home relating the "弟子规" to daily living at home, … I say, wow, this is education 学做人, not blind academic pursuit 读死书

agree.
in addition, many kids are more obedient to teachers than to parents, thus will 学做人 better from school...

heard in china, chinese curriculum are very political....exposures to tradition/value/culture are not so early as in P1....their priority is to let kids love the coutry love the communist party... :love:
