家教

one morning on my way to work in the mtr, there were a mother with 2 kids -- a son and a daughter in their early teens -- sitting on her sides. Both were clinging onto their mother, looking at the English book that she's holding and listening to her reading the content.

then came in from one station 2 old ladies, probably in their 70s. They were standing in front of this family, and what happened? nothing happened. The mother continued to read the English book to her kids, and the kids continued to cling onto her.

Did they see the old ladies? I bet they did unless they were blind, which shouldn't be the case.
my thoughts? The type of 家教 breeds the type of next generation. It doesn't matter how good or fluent their English will be, there's no hope in them if they don't even practise the basic virtue of being a human being...
