Chapter 1058 There are disagreements
Tang Xiaoyu paid great attention to this activity. When she heard the story of a century of humiliation from her nephew's mouth, when her nephew held out a big ship made of paper, and when her nephew said that he wanted to be an aircraft carrier designer in the future, Tang Xiaoyu no longer hesitated!
She wants to transfer her daughter to another school!
Although the kindergarten on Sifang Island has not been completed yet, given Liu Meilan's level of attention, it will be put into use in a year at most.
Tang Xiaoyu decided to transfer her daughter to a public kindergarten and wait until the kindergarten on Sifang Island was completed.
Ye Sheng was very confused by Tang Xiaoyu's behavior. "Xiaoyu, that international bilingual kindergarten is pretty good. Why did you want to transfer?"
After my granddaughter started attending kindergarten there, she dressed up beautifully all day long and could sing, dance and play the piano.
Tang Xiaoyu replied, "Dad, we used to think that sending our children to the most expensive schools meant they were receiving a very good education! But I don't think so now. Ever since Xiao Lingling started school... if I don't buy her those luxury goods, she'll cry!"
Ye Sheng was slightly stunned. "Actually, a family like ours can afford it! Why not buy it for the child? If you are reluctant, then I will pay for Xiao Lingling's living expenses in the future!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu took a few deep breaths and then patiently explained, "Dad, it's not about the money! Xiao Lingling seems to have learned a lot, but have you noticed that what she learned makes her behavior superficial, even her expressions and movements become exaggerated."
"At first I thought it was a sign of her being eloquent and cute, but now I don't think so. Her way of speaking and her smile have been influenced by her foreign teachers. She even said she wants to immigrate to a freer country in the future."
"Why would a child say this? Does she know what freedom is? Does she know what democracy is? Isn't this all just brainwashing in children by those so-called high-end bilingual kindergartens?"
"Those who can go to that school are basically very wealthy people in Shenzhen! If our next generation consists of people who think that studying abroad is good and not those who are superficial and boastful, will they be able to take over the Ye family business in the future?"
"I've been thinking about this for the past few days! Finally, I've deduced that as our children grow older, they will drift further and further away from us. They might even stop cherishing the assets we've built and simply sell them abroad!"
Ye Sheng, who had been somewhat nonchalant at first, frowned. After a while, he slowly said, "How about transferring the child to the public school here?"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled. "Public schools at least allow children to receive a normal education! But after my observation, I think the elementary and middle schools on Sifang Island are better... Just look at the students who have graduated from Sifang to middle school in the past three years and see how they are doing at Shencheng High School. You'll understand why I'm so persistent!"
Tang Xiaoyu placed the prepared materials in front of her father-in-law.
Ye Sheng took the reading glasses next to him, put them on, and then picked it up to look at it carefully.
The more Ye Sheng read, the more surprised he became, and the more attentive he became. After a while, he looked up and asked, "Xiaoyu, is this information reliable?"
Tang Xiaoyu chuckled softly, "How could this be true? I specifically asked someone from the Education Bureau to help me with the statistics, and I also conducted a real survey of various high schools. Among them, those with high IQs and EQs also have a third who get into prestigious universities."
"A quarter of them join the military, and many are engaged in sports. For example, a swimmer has already made it to the national team and will represent the country at the Sydney Olympics next year."
"Dad, I went to the school specifically to investigate. The children have a very deep cultural heritage. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. If you don't believe my judgment, you should believe Meilan! She didn't even want the good educational resources in Beijing, and left her children to study on Sifang Island."
"Not only that, Meilan's eldest brother will send his children back here after the Lunar New Year. They will go to kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school here when school starts next year. Liu Yiwen's children are probably there too..."
Ye Sheng, who was originally a little skeptical, looked more serious. "If Meilan also lets her child study on the island, then the island must have better educational conditions. This weekend, I plan to visit your father and check out the school."
Tang Xiaoyu chuckled, "Dad, don't wait for the weekend. If you want to inspect the school, go on the weekend because only the uncles will be open. The schools on the island can't compare to the schools in the city in terms of infrastructure. If you want to go, choose to go on Mondays to Fridays when the children are in class. After all, we're going to send our children to Sifang Island to study in the future, and we want to see what they'll be like in that environment."
Ye Sheng nodded, "Xiao Yu, you're right. I'll arrange things in the next two days and take time to go over there. I'll let Ye Qiang keep an eye on the company."
Ye Qiang poured tea for his father and handed some fruit to Tang Xiaoyu. "Don't you guys even want to ask for my advice?"
Tang Xiaoyu snorted, "I asked you to go on an inspection together before, but you were not willing. What's the point of telling you?"
Ye Qiang sneered, "I said I trust your judgment. If you think it's okay, then I think it's okay. How can our unanimous opinion be used as evidence of my inaction?"
Tang Xiaoyu didn't continue to make fun of Qiao. He smiled and said, "Just listen to me. The exam results, midterm and final exams of each semester are city-wide. Although students can't be arranged to take the exams in other schools, teachers from other schools are arranged to supervise the exams. It's very strict. Sifang Island always ranks among the best. The entrance exams to junior high school and high school are also proof of this."
"What really shocked me was that every child could write beautiful calligraphy, both with a hard pen and a brush. That's quite remarkable. Also, almost every student knew how to paint in traditional Chinese painting, and every child could read music and play an instrument. Of course, most of the instruments were folk music. As for sports, they also performed quite well in the city's primary and secondary school sports meets."
"My friend who works at the Education Bureau, after systematically helping me organize all this information, actually asked me if she could send her child there. She's the head of the Education Bureau, and she can choose any school in Shenzhen. She wants to go there, so why wouldn't it be good? But Sifang Island is special. Without immediate family members there, they're not allowed to go back to study. This connection has been locked in."
Ye Qiang chuckled. "Actually, I didn't want to ask too much. It's because Liu Meilan sent her child to school there, so I knew it was reliable. When it comes to children's education, who doesn't have better vision than us, whether it's Professor Xie or Liu Meilan? Similarly, Liu Meilan's child can go to any school in Shenzhen, but she chose Sifang Island. I believe it's definitely not because it's close to home."
