华教 i think is too stressful. I like english education. Mainly internation school. O level and A level.

It is always the parent.

Nothing to do with Chinese / English education.

You have a point there. Chinese education the syllabus quite hectic, and plus the parents a lot of times inject further pressure to their kids, consciously and unconsciously.

From the Propcafe cyber blog's comment and found out this latest news

"The latest news which I believe many cyberjaya investors have been waiting for: Officially, Cyberjaya is going to have a Chinese Primary School which expected to open its door in the end of 2014 or 2015. Today (3/4/13), there was ground breaking ceremony conducted at the site by officials.SRJK(C ) Union from Perak (霹靂聯合華小) will be relocated to Cyberjaya. The school (categorised under SMART School with capacity of 1500 students) will cost RM10mil which will be funded by Setia Haruman, SP Setia, MCT, and Mah Sing. Full information can be obtained via http://news.sinchew.com.my/node/286502?tid=1

One by one, the issues that raised by pessimits are being tackled. From No Shopping Mall, No Non-Halal Foods to No Chinese Primary School. Cyberjaya is getting there to be a complete and self-sustainable township."

How? All taikors.....

The actual subject that make the kids stressful in Chinese primary is not mandarin. It is BM, pemahaman dan penulisan of BM is the one that kill the kids

This is a subject which can be debated on and on but if we just compare the time that Chinese school students spend on school work is much longer. If one happens to send 2 kids to two different streams then can see the obvious difference.

Anyone knows what's the progress now? I heard will be completed by 2014/2015.

completed by 2014/2015? 

it's 2018 after all MCT project VP 

From my experience of my kids, the reason why is Chinese school having more home work and stress are
- subjects like maths n science r taught in 2 languages. If srjk they save these 2 subjects.
- BM is considered a third language. For a srjk© student to learn 3 languages, it is far more tougher than children in srjk where they speak english/Malay and study only these 2 languages.
- mandarin is a language that is not easy if you were to compare to english/BM which comprises of only 26 letters.

But is it because of wanting the kids to hv an easier life and we deprive their chances to learn their mother language?

My opinion apply on primary school only since we do not have Chinese secondary school.
My 2 cents. 

Hence I will send my kids to Chinese primary school for the mandarin.

But I wont give a damn she passes her BM paper or not, thats useless with almost zero value.

I plan to send her to private school form Secondary onwards, and straight to private U after that.

To hell with learning Malaysian history etc in BM, pendidikan moral, etc...
