Want to bet they weren’t quizzed on words like: work, study, honesty, patriotism?

I thought that “popo” was baby talk for buttocks.

There’re just teaching them ebonics so Jamal and L’Trisha won’t feel marginalized.

The government schools are a toxic middle-class welfare entitlement. It would be better to take Food Stamps than to institutionalize your children in “free” government schools.

Never mind “family”, “God”, “Jesus”, “prayer”, “morality” and the like.

“Every good Chinese kid knows that “popo” means grandma.’

Unless they speak Shanghainese and then “Bobo” is Grandma

Shanghaiese???

I thought that there were two major dialects of the Chinese language, Mandarin and Cantonese. Does Shanghai have its own dialect or language too???

Did they ask for the meaning of “Mofo”? That’s one I want to see.

Immersion in cultural anthropology before these middle schoolers move to the upper grades where they might not otherwise know the lingo?

What? They’re not ignorant enough on their own? They need to reinforce non-English slang and gutter speak?

>All education should be defunded and privatized.

And paid for, upon their use, like EVERY OTHER *SERVICE*.

What else is paid in perpetuity, regardless of ‘outcome’ or ‘cost’, that can only be utilized for ~12 yrs.?!

This is par for the course when parents name their little girl “L-a”. Sounded out is Ladasha. No, I am not kidding.

Funny thing about slanguage by the time it gets into common usage it’s normally not in use any more.

About 80 million people speak Shanghai-wa or the Shanghai dialect. Mandarin is the national language but, Cantonese, Fujinese, Shanghai, and Hakka are some of the other dialects.

My polyglot wife’s family is from Shanghai. She speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese and Hakka as well as English and some Japanese
