Karl will be in primary one next year. We plan to send him to a Chinese primary school to enable him to pick up the Chinese language because we speak English at home.
It’s really different studying in a Chinese school. There is a lot of homework and that means pressure for the children too. During our time, I don’t remember the syllabus to be that tough. I came from an English speaking family but I manage to excel in the Chinese school without a tutor. Off course I do get some homework help from my parents who are both teachers but for Chinese language, they can’t do much.
Can Karl cope with his studies and homework? Does he need tutoring? If I send him for tuition, will it add on to his burden and pressure? Sending him to a tuition centre would be very time consuming for me too.
I always believe that if Karl can cope, there will be no need for a tuition class but if he is weak in certain subjects, I may consider online tutoring which is more convenient and I can do it together with Karl at the comfort of our home.
Hubby always says that I should put more effort in coaching Karl especially in Math. If Karl can build a strong foundation in Math, he will have no problem learning Algebra, Trigonometry and Probability next time when he grows up.
Let’s hope Karl can adapt well in the Chinese primary school next year.

Hazel,
Thanks. I hope my children can cope too but I hope I will not give them any pressure.
Karl will do fine. Don't think he'll need any tuition since u can teach him urself.
Ginnie,
Many say that they can't teach their own children but I am going to try my best.
I 'm planning to send my kids to chinese school... so, first step, next year we send them to chinese kindy...I hope no tution involved during primary time cos it's really burden them..Math??? I am math graduated so no problem to teach him... but can they cope chinese??? they speak english at home and malay s'times.
Yatie,
You really plan to do so? That's good! Don't worry to much. I believe your kids can do it because I have seen many malays and indians cope with chinese language.
I can understand why you're worried. I attended a Chinese language class some months ago and i found it difficult. But children learn languages easily, am sure your son will adapt quite well.
