No Cantonese in RC pl pl pl

this depends highly on the school. The ones in HK side will have more foreigners, while RC has become a very popular school among local chinese.

I don't think it's the language that really bothers me as a parent, I don't care what language is used on the playground either. However, it's the curriculum and academic standards that bothers me.

wise2007's comments make sense, because think about it, when one goes overseas for education, the child will pick up the local language much faster because? You are forced to speak that language and listen to that language all the time, and while children are young, they can learn languages (multiple) very fast at rapid speed.

Hence, to duplicate the same effect, where the kid goes to school in HK, if English is always spoken and heard, they will pick up the language like "native" IF the teachers and school environment can provide this atmosphere.

Just my two cents.
