When school means more homework for mothers

I have been bombarded by criticism about my choice of a Chinese school for my English boy.

It wasn't just that international schools are way beyond my means; they are also too far away and many don't seem to offer much Chinese.

"How could you do this to your own son?" have sounded the peals of dissatisfaction, although they have not been accompanied by other suggestions or indeed reasons why the choice is so wrong.
