In a convent school, and especially in young families, I'm not surprised the Chinese teacher HAS to speak to the class in English as well, to get attention. If she goes on and on in Mandarin, I doubt her lesson would have gone into the girls' head. My son told me yesterday that his Chinese teacher spoke to them in English and ironically she banned the class from speaking English DURING her lessons.

I thought nowadays quite a lot of PRC MTL teachers? Then confirm communication breakdown with the english speaking kids??
