RI or HCI

Daddy
I work in an MNC and my colleagues are diverse from RI/RGS/RJC/HCJC e.t.c
My niece graduated from RGS... Also on scholarship at some US uni... Recently she's on some exchange programs in different countries, including China.
So a bit ironic if she did not spend time to develop her mother tongue back in sch.
End of the day, our kids shld have a global exposure... Hopefully they know China is in our globe.
We do a lot of business arouond the world, including China and those colleagues from the \"English\" schools have equally no problem at all dealing and conversing with their China customers and counterparts in Mandarin.
It is a misconception that students in RI/RGS will be weaker in Mandarin. THey have one of the highest standards of Chinese in any secondary schools around in Singapore..plus their multi-cultural and global perspective is a real plus in a MNC. -

What is your definition of \"cheena\" if kids nowadays prefer to choose RI/RGS which is not \"cheena\"?
I dun understand the \"cheena\" factor.
My 1st thought would be the language standard. -

You do not have to get me, and I don't have to get you as well.
I did not define cheena....that's what my niece told me.
You will have to ask the youngsters themselves why they have that impression. -

Conversational Mandarin should be okay for most kids who went through all those years of Chinese. But, my experience tells me that students who took HCL definitely can handle reading and writing more competently in the language, at the level required in my industry (legal).

Frankly, if you are going to work in the legal industry in China, the HCL provided locally here will still be insufficient. And I believe only a minority few will get into that level of work
I have worked for a span of time in China ( not in the legal though), and I have no problem with conversing or reading/writing the documents in Chinese, even though I never had HCL.
Of course having HCL would be a plus but I never did felt handicapped without it -

Most students in RI/RGS do HCL, as do students from HCI/NYGH.

Oh, that's definitely true, be it in China or even here.
Oops, OT already, I think.
