of course lah, I am not referring to the rural areas.

Mostly nons, T20 and M40 would think of this.

even the melei some T20 and M40 are sending their kids to international Saudi Arabia schools.

I remembered I was struggling a lot in my SMK and even in university because I just couldn't imagine or understand what the lecturer was saying. Back then internet was in its infancy and teaching methodologies were at best crude and obsolete, use of those old projectors and white boards to explain.

It didn't help that in SMK they directly translated to BM those industrial arts books, terminologies were wierd at best.

Today, we have youtube, udemy, zoom, udemy, google, etc. Understanding is way way faster. I ponder back those things I struggled to understand, like Add maths, then suddenly in this present day with help of technological advances, i was able to understand better.

I think ADHD or not, the technological breakthroughs are out there, to make learning way much easier.

Of course there will always be bad apples. But when majority are bad apples, something is encouraging it.

Irony is we are seeing more kurang ajar people around. In terms of education, ethics and manners.

Just like overhead bridge is made for easier and safer road crossing, yet people cross highway right below the bridge. They rather put life at risk than climb some stairs.

I understand why many parents are choosing international schools. It's often about providing their kids with a global education and better future opportunities. These schools usually offer diverse curriculums, which can help if you're planning to migrate. Even if migration doesn’t happen, kids get exposure to different cultures and teaching methods.

I chose a different route for my kids by sending them to a military school. After researching the best Military High Schools in Arizona, we went with American Leadership Academy (ALA). My child is now in their second year, and we've seen a lot of personal growth and discipline improvements.

It’s true that if kids don’t get PR, they might struggle with BM and Mandarin. But every choice has its pros and cons, and you have to decide what's best for your family.
