All right - I know quite a few readers are out of Asia, so you may not understand Chinese (actually I don’t very much ahaha) but this is a very popular reality series in Taiwan, which was heralded in 2007 by a highly popular participant, Yang Zongwei (aka Aska Yang).

I read with great interest the responses in the Forum to the Principal’s tone regarding the idea that some 60% of students won’t be able to graduate from their syllabus. In my opinion, I think many people will find problems no matter how they attempt to argue their case against the principal.

Ok – this is a tough thing to do for most people, but I’ve just come out from training the Normal Academic students at Macpherson Secondary school, and I trust that they need some of this as well.

I got a comment listed by Madskrews, and was just wondering how I ought to reply to the mail. Obviously, Madskrews, you say that you have an issue expressing yourself.
