School

Christian's school had a mid-autumn party last Friday. He threw a major tantrum at the end of the party, when I refused to let him have another piece of mooncake. Refused to go in to the classroom with me so I could view the exhibit of their works for the past month, and tried to bite me like a feral animal. More on that later.

Anyway, we've been thinking about changing school cos it's been a year, and it's still a struggle getting him to go to school. He keeps telling us he doesn't like this 'big school' and prefers the 'small school'. We wonder if there are too many children at this school, or if there's something else that bothers him which he's unable to tell us. We like this place for its physical environment is quite unmatched by other schools. However, school A which we are considering, is very strong in teaching Chinese, whereas school B, the other school much nearer our house, is more cosy and has interesting programs like yoga and violin. Why is it not possible for a school to have all 3 aspects - strong curriculum, great outdoor environment and interesting enriching programs?

Sigh. This school thing is keeping me awake at night.

Anyway, some pictures of his present school -
