      We are a Chinese Canadian family considering Sydney. Friends keep talking about selective schools, tutoring, coaching colleges, math, music, and exam preparation. I want strong education, but I do not want my daughter to feel like childhood is only testing. Is Sydney school culture very intense for Chinese families, or does it depend on suburb and parent group?

      I would add: check the school run during rain. That changed our opinion fast.

      This made me feel less crazy. Month two was much harder than I expected.
