More complain about hk education

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.
