NO CHINESE SCHOOL

This episode helped me decide between a Chinese School and Non Chinese School for Jayden.

Jay: What can I do now?
Viki: Well, why don't you practise writing your chinese name?
Jay: Ok.
Then he writes this (picture below)...I was so proud of him and then we showed it to his grandfather (who is a retired chinese school teacher)




Yeh Yeh: Wrong!!!
Viki: What? Wrong? Huh? Alamaaaaaaak

Then we called the school teacher to find out and true enoough...they taught him to write ONG instead of WONG. The correct character is




See what I mean. Luckily Yeh Yeh (who was visiting us) noticed the mistake. We could have gone on and on practising to write the wrong character. Will we be so lucky all the time with his homework? I doubt!!! So no chinese school for Jayden because the only characters his mummy can read are the characters in the mah jong set!!!

But the question still continues...private school or public school?
