"TODAY YOU'RE PROUD OF YOUR SCHOOL - TOMORROW YOUR SCHOOL WILL BE PROUD OF YOU." On lower left, "STUDY TO BECOME A GOOD CITIZEN." Lower right, "STUDY YOUR WHOLE LIFE THE KEY TO SUCCESS."
Those are all positive/wise sayings for kids to read every morning when they enter their school. Encouragement and good advice, I like that, while in American schools they're trying to push gender dysphoria and Critical Race Theory on their captured audience of easily influences kids.
Though you have a million reasons, I can see here, alone, why you're in Vietnam and not the USA.
Those sayings are fine, but Vietnamese schools have their own ideological indoctrination not all parents are fine with.
As for gender issues, there was a Vung Tau restaurant called Pê Đê, from the French "pédé" for "faggots," but it just went out of business. Maybe its food was awful...
Like that rained-out contractor guy you wrote about who was sitting next to you and having a phone conversation with his son, how he told him it was important and that he must always remember to first say "Big Bother" or "Father" and not just ask, "What time is it?"

Hi Martin,

P.S. A common message at Vietnamese schools is the Confucian "tiên học lễ, hậu học văn." Learn manners first, then language.
"Learn manner first, then language."
