I miss both my Nannies, I really do. My British Nanny was a friend of T2’s old British teacher at one of those play schools and really one in a million. Everyone would ask me, where on Earth did I find myself a British Nanny??? She was a great girl, worked in many fields and had always worked, even as a kid thus very hard working. Her last job in the UK was a dental surgeon’s assistant and she was due back to go to University to study Dentistry. She also had studied nursing and was a qualified nurse and had done child psychology and worked with children at play schools in the UK. Thus she was the perfect Nanny…….

What I really loved about her was that she was very creative. Compared to many of the straight A students and high ranking adults that we get here in Malaysia, she was way more creative than most of them. And you know, with children, you NEED to be creative in order to manage them best. There are only 3 people in this entire world who can control my kids and make them do what they don’t want to do and that is Nana, Uncle Ben and my British Nanny. Even I can’t do it. These 3 people, think on their feet and can snap up with such wonderful ideas that can get the kids to do things I cannot get them to do. It’s a talent, I’m telling you!

It also makes me think about our education system. My British Nanny came from a typical English school where there was no pressure, no need to get A’s, and yet, she has turned out to be extremely smart and is able to think out of the box. I don’t think our education system gives much practise for our kids to think in various lengths and dimensions. Thus as parents, we need to challenge them for if we don’t, they join the flock of graduates who only know how to read and do work. They will always be followers.

A Very senior engineer from the UK recently told me that he interviewed 15 local graduates (of which 2 came from abroad) together with the HR of the company and not a single one of them could answer the most basic of questions. None of them could think on their feet, only one! They were applying as management trainees……so sad. SO SAD. How to compete on an international platform then?

So my point is, if a kid who follows the British Ed system, who’s allowed lots of play and in the end doesn’t end up being a Doctor or a Lawyer or an Engineer blablablbalblabla……..she might still just end up smarter than our local Doctors and Lawyers and Engineers. I kid you not.
