have not quite decided on the correct way of education as yet

my soon-to-be-5 daughter can speak in two languages fluently, recite 13 tang poems, is a good swimmer and has engaged with the martial arts, now enjoys "monopoly", a most astute game, along with "go" of grand complexity, is on some sort of an intl track here in hk

i am convinced of much, but am not at all sure what she can learn that would justify several magnitudes difference in standard of living against the spawns of globalization across hk's northern border

and hk's education is pretty good in intl rankings (top 1-2-3) but just not good enough

i have visited the mainland schools, and i note i am glad i got done with my education before the serious onset of globalization, for i stand no chance against my neighbors

talibananas and al q's are instills no terror in me
the folks across my northern frontier scares me terribly

dimming is pejorative. Return to natural size is the adequate term. It conveys the idea of artificially swollen and returning to a normal state.
