Keep complaining....what a pity.

Making parents covet, most civil servants and government secretaries are offered the appreciable educational allowance, with which they are able to send their kids to boarding schools in Britain. However, preternaturally, in the meantime they are promoting mandatory mother-tongue teaching by CMI to Hong Kong parents. Thanks to these hypocritical and “patriotic” governors, “international schools” in Hong Kong are more packed with Chinese children than the Starbuck’s cafes in New York. Just a kind reminder to all Hong Kong parents, next time when you book your first-class flight to London, make sure you are served the right food, fine wine and sit next to the right person.

It is believed that international schools in Hong Kong used to guarantee the highest quality of education, which was tacitly understood to have been achieved through racial segregation. In the days before 1997 handover, international schools, implicitly, would only accept children of British government officer and soldiers, European diplomats or businessmen. Even if there were occasional Chinese faces in the classroom, they must have been there for a legitimate reason. For most quality-sensible Hong Kong parents, sending their kids to an international school is a bit like shopping at Chanel S.A. They do not mind paying more for a set of jewelry as long as it is made in France but not any warehouses in mainland China. Buying a seat in an “international school” and finding their kids surrounded by Cantonese-speaking students is a commercial bait and switch, even if the Shakespeare class is taught by a zealous young expatriate man from Birmingham who is in Hong Kong for three months in-between backpacking trips to Bangkok and Yunnan.

It is a well-know truth that Hong Kong’s international schools have long been filled with local Chinese students since the Hong Kong handover from Britain to China in 1997. A flock of skittish and scared parents carrying their beloved children fled from the Hong Kong government’s patriotic educational policy which changed most of the EMI (English as the medium of instruction) school to CMI (Chinese as the medium of instruction), despite the much higher tuition. Most international schools see half of their yearly intake consist of local Chinese students, and lamentably, sometimes at the highest end of the spectrum, an overwhelming 2 out of 3 are local Chinese students.

As ordinary consumers, can parents write in to Consumer Council to complain about these so-called “international” schools? The major point is that these parents are the people who would pay triple the fare for a first-class cabin to London because they are expecting beef tenderloin with goose liver, caviar, prestigiously fine Bordeaux and a relaxing conversation about recent stock market performance with a white-collar seated next to them who probably was on the cover of the March issue of a CEO magazine. Not surprisingly, they do not expect a throng of housewives who have just stopped gossiping about where to buy the fake LV handbags and fall asleep belching after a boisterous chicken feet feast. That is not the value of money.

An ridiculously difficult article..

On an incontrovertibly, providentially cloudless Sunday, Zyzzyo, a drastically vainglorious zoophytologist, withdrew his inconceivably ostentatious edifice superciliously and sanctimoniously, devoured nourishments imperturbably, and confronted insurmountably obnoxious environmentalists remonstrating heterogeneously. Preternaturally consternated, he incommoded them exceedingly enigmatically, notwithstanding, acquired abhorrently contemptible obloquies. With consequentially invigorative indefatigability, he berated them contemporaneously. Afterwards, Zyzzyo devastated the philanthropic benefaction receptacles and jeopardized obstreperous omnibuses catastrophically. Indispensably, he was imprisoned irreconcilably.
