To French Or Not To French

As a mother.. we are all worried about our child’s education… and I.. yours truly is no different. Here in Canada .. we have what they call the French Immersion School, where children get to learn a second language – French ..! but of course..! Many parent has different reasons for wanting to put their child into French Immersion.. but mostly, they want their child to have the edge of adulthood as many government jobs requires that they speak French.

My MIL, is Acadian French, and when PB was much younger.. he speaks in French too. Back home in Asia.. we too learn several 2nd and 3rd languages.. like Mandarin and Bahasa Malay.. 2 common ones… and of course.. some schools provides the japanese language as an option for 3rd language. We coped .. and so will my brat i believe.

But my reason for sending her to French Immersion is a very selfish reason. I donch want Chloe to be at the south end school. Why..?? because i heard it is a bad school. And the place where we are staying in is zoned for that school and chloe would have to go to the South End School.. if we choose not to send her to French Immersion. So there you have it.. i’m a “kiasu” mum.. my FIL says i’m a chinese jew.. and that’s not for nothing eh..?? muahahhahahah!
