Hey @kimmama
Thanks for your sharing! Can't agree more with your idea of "打好個底”. That's one of the main reasons why we want to move back for my son's education, at least until he goes to high school. And I really want him to be fluent in Chinese speaking & writing. The primary education here is way too slow and hae, plus students are too liberal about what they want....That I can no longer stand for this even as an elementary teacher here.
I wouldn't mind to come back to Canada when my son starts middle school/high school. I will let him choose.
Would be great if I can chat more with you and hear what else you have went thru.
