What you pay is what you get. I've a kid in SK and that school is even a sekolah cemerlang but the teachers are hardly in class and no mandarin teacher for 3 years now. Whereas my other kid in private school, qualified dedicated teachers and they're even learning coding at Standard 1.

There is 3 type tiers schools, choose what you can afford. I'm only paying around 1.2k monthly school fees.

send kids to international school because they can't deal with the language.

If you are learning a subject in a language you aren't fluent in, you are just setting up yourself for failure.

Sure some might be able to cope and if they do cope, they benefit more, but most can't.

When there is a will, there is a way.

I learned to speak most languages by just listening to my classmates in school. When we were young, our minds are like sponge. I picked up languages and dialects with ease in my youth by just interacting with my peers.

I picked up some Francais and Espanyol along the way too by watching and listening to people talking to each other in a social setting.

I don't deny that, in fact, I think those who struggle and succeed would come out stronger than those that took the easy way.

I just don't think most would succeed. They just end up failing.

My opinion is based on my own experience. I struggled a lot with school for most of my childhood and teen years because I went to Chinese schools. Changed to a English-medium school when I was halfway through secondary school and I did much better. Still not great since I'm not academically inclined but at least I wasn't at risk of being held back a year like when I was back at my previous school.
