The dumbness of the English crowd.

“You can teach everyone in English.”

Try enrolling you children in Chinese-medium, teach all their subjects in Chinese? Then tell them they’re stupid if they don’t understand.

That’s the same experience of a rural child in English medium. https://twitter.com/raghu0212/status/1335249877253517318
What to tell these. 🙄

A child starts picking up language from the womb, from the home, the environment. Try to put your children in Chinese medium “from start” when you don’t know a word of Chinese, nor speak at home. How much will they grasp at school?

No, they won’t learn a thing. Even worse dumbos want to teach subjects in a foreign language MEDIUM. You’ll learn physics in Chinese? In school?

ALL research shows children learn best in mother tongue. It’s natural. Why force a foreign language on them?

See the situation even of semi-urban children forced into English medium.

The English crowd has assumed India is to remain backward (Indians are “like this”) can never be like a Japan or China. Children do *not* understand in English, we kill brains.

This is a girl who studied in English-medium “from the beginning.”

She is articulate and intelligent in her own language. Is turned into an imbecile when forced to use English.

Why are we doing this to our children when all the research shows it impedes learning and brain development?

Actually they become scholars of nothing. We are literally destroying brains. Only a very small percent succeed in this system.

Then we wonder why we can’t get “developed.” Every major developed country is using mother tongue for higher education.
