New Orleans Chinese Language School

Meredith started attending weekend chinese school in New Orleans every Sunday afternoon. This school is staffed by volunteers from chinese community in New Orleans and has been around for 30 years. It is pretty well organized with students being group into different classes and age group. There are probably about a hundred students spread in different class.

So far, Meredith hated chinese school. She said it is very boring. She ranked it in the fourth place behind ballet class, swimming class and her regular pre-kindergarden class.

In the 4-6years old class, there are many parents who stayed with their kids during the class. A number of them are very opinionated, and makes a lot of suggestion on how to teach. I am impressed with the teacher for having the patience to handle the parents in addition to the normal teaching duties.
