Testing kindergarten kids...

On the subject of kindergarten kids, this sign is taken outside another kindergarten in the same neighborhood.

'About 300 kindergarten students took the Cambridge Young Learners English Test, and their average score reached 86%'

WTF?! Alice always thought that attending kindergarten meant making friends, learning social skills, having fun, sharing (and fighting over) toys and breaking cookies! Now kindergartens are advertising their international test scores? FYI: A lot of parents in Hong Kong do send their kids to take the test, a test designed for second language learner. Seriously, testing our preschoolers? There is something wrong with our society and values.

Colorful kindergarten...


This is the door to a happy kindergarten. There is something slightly wrong though...Is that supposed to be modern art or peas in the pod?
