How’s this for a mouthful?: The name of my school

Shenzhen Luoling Foreign Language Experimental School. (Pinyin: Shenzhen Shi Luoling Waiyu Shiyan Xuexiao; Characters: 深圳市落铃外语试验学校). Or Luoling for short.

It’s a primary school in Shenzhen’s Luohu district. I teach 10 fourth-grade and 5 third-grade classes here.

Why “experimental”? I’ve been told tacking on the word “experimental” to the name is a way for Chinese schools establish themselves as credible institutions.

Luoling’s website can be found here.
