Generally, we’ve asked our kids’ English teachers if they can just do their Chinese homework or read quietly in the back on their own. Occasionally they get recruited to be 小老师 (little teachers).
One of the activities in English class this semester was to work on their spoken English through the performance of little skits. The teacher posted them to WeChat and asked all of the parents in the school to vote for the best performance. Our performance got the most votes (1123). I don’t think it had to do with the fact that a native English speaker had the most lines. I think one of the other moms has the most WeChat friends.
