這四間API成績很好, Y7-Y8 讀William Hopkins Junior High, Y9-Y12讀
Mission San Jose High. 初中及高中好多功課同埋每星期最少兩課TEST. 由於入大學要計GPA, 若學校能提供HONOR/AP CLASS 對入好大學有好處 , 有水準學校便能提供充足HONOR/AP CLASS比學生, 所以選擇小學很重要. 但妳一定要住那個校區. http://www.schoolworksgis.com/FremontUSD/schoollocator.html

另外有點不明白：
「若學校能提供HONOR/AP CLASS 對入好大學有好處 , 有水準學校便能提供充足HONOR/AP CLASS比學生, 所以選擇小學很重要」
Honor/AP class 是什麼？意思是小學也會提供honor/ap class? 請問哪裡看到這些資料？

babyrabbit2011,

the public schools in US are very different than the schools in HK! if you really care about the 校風（如紀律), you should send your kid to a more decent private school or catholic school! that's one of the reasons that I keep my son at private school for many years!

however, I heard from my friends that the public schools (in Mission San Jose district and Warm Spring district) in Fremont are a little more like the schools in HK. I guess becos almost all the students there are Indians and Chinese, so it seems that the teachers there are stricter and the students require to be more discipline. On the other hand, maybe becos of the big class size there, the teachers are stricter to keep the class under control. also, the kids there have quite lots of "pressure" to keep themselves to be competitive with their peers (e.g. doing extra works/tutoring other than the homework assigned by the school teachers) and to "fight" with their peers to get into a good college.

Usually a more decent private school could cost from $18,000 - 40,000/academic year for tuition only! Catholic and Christian schools are usually cheaper and could cost from about $8,000 - 18,000/year. However, Episcopal schools are usually more expensive and cost about $25,000/year on average. On top of tuition, there could be donations, volunteer hours (otherwise, need to pay extra), overnight field trips, etc.

Even for public schools, it requires donations from the parents (could be from $500 - $5000/year, usually more for the charter schools), as well as volunteer hours.
.
btw, AP class = Advancement Placement class, are the more advanced classes at senior high school (from G. 9-12). honor classes are usually available for junior high school (G. 6/7 - 8). however, there are usually no honor classes available at the public elementary school. although there are GATE (Gifted & Talented) programs available at some public elementary schools, they still teach things within the grade level but might be more in depth and have more supplemental work for the kids who are qualified. at some private elementary schools (but not all) offer honor/differentiated classes within the same grade.

「若學校能提供HONOR/AP CLASS 對入好大學有好處 , 有水準學校便能提供充足HONOR/AP CLA ...

小兒高中有提供SUBJECT普通CLASS,HONOR CLASS 及 AP CLASS. HONOR及AP課程較深。要讀此類課程必須達到一定程度, 由普通CLASS, 升HONOR CLASS 最後升 AP CLASS (考公開AP試，PASS入大學可做CREDIT)。Mission San Jose High 同 Irvington High 都有好多中國人同印度人，校風較好, 比較少童黨"希0", 若有不良事件，家長會出聲。當然樹大有枯枝，大致上OK。此兩間高中成績很好, 並不全因學校老帥好, 其中大部份學生都有補習. 每月要付出數百甚致一仟圓;我家小孩每月補習費差不多$800. 我想若讀私校, 都一樣要補, 否則跟不上。正如在香港讀DGS DBS ST.PAUL D學生咪一樣要補。做家長都希望仔女讀書輕鬆, 但現實是這樣。

Thx bee_happy for the detailed info. If we can afford, we prefer Catholic school. But the reality is the very expensive school fees. Honestly speaking, if I can find a job, I really don\'t mind spending all of my income on tuition fees. I\'m working as a Human Resources specialist in HK. I\'m planning to take the US professional exam in HK first so that I can find a job. Anyone can give me some advice on the U.S. Employment markets? I really hope that I can find a job so that I can have more options.

到美國生活主要想小朋友較international,學習不是死背，失去學習的興趣。其實不少興趣班也很有趣，只是香港現時很著重cert, 揠苗助長是很不健康，我們也知道Bay Area 有很多Asian, 補習也在所難免，我們也不介意，而且我們有計劃過middle school 可能再relocate back to Asian countries, 想小朋友學好中文, 不過已是很長遠的事了。

honour class/AP class 是否類似精英班？

About work, try to go to www.indeed.com or www.glassdoor.com. Type in the kind of job and your area, it would give you an idea what qualification they are looking for and the salary expectation.

我自己的職位跟HR有很多聯繫，近年大公司開源折流，只會保留一定的後勤職位，我公司上下有幾萬人，但比我10年初入時已少了一半人，這個月發現做了很多年的幾個高級HK recruiting manager都被layoff了，如果你不介意，看一看其他職位，例如Admin Assistant（類似香港的秘書，但做的範圍或許有不同，服務的對象也不只一個上司，很多是一整個部門，有些小公司會把HR跟Admin合而為一，或有叫Office Manager or Office Administrator的。灣區工作不算太難找，只是未必是你想要的人工，有孩子的很多人會找part time，但part time工種有限，如果可以我都想轉part time，但現在的工作不可能有這樣的彈性。

香港精英班把出色學生效在一班讀全部課程. 這裡honor class/AP class針對某些科目, 若CHEM好便可讀HONOR/AP CLASS.如此累推。

小兒(GRADE 10)一至四放學後去補習社HOMEWORK HELP(個半鐘)做功課(基本上做唔完)，跟著補ALGEBRA(每星期兩次每次一小時)同埋CHEM(每星期兩次每次一小時). 每星期在家補個半鐘SPANISH, 每個月一小時WORLD HISTORY REVIEW。十分不希望這樣, 但學校每天EMAIL 當天GPA 成績, 身為家長及學生感受壓力。不跟進學習又怎樣追上。

harrymanmypun,

it sounds very similar to the student life in HK! poor guy!
i have a friend who also lives in Fremont is actually thinking to pull his son out from the public school or move out from Fremont!
luckily we don't live in Fremont!

just curious .... when did your son start being tutored (starting from what grade)?

since your son spending so much time in tutoring every day, does he have any time to participate in any sports?

Thx! I went there and I can find some job spec listing the requirements there. It\'s very useful. But I can\'t find the average salary of those jobs. Any website listing the salary index of different job functions? Thx!

我係香港做過hr generalist, 宜家主要係C and B specialist. 我知道自己唔熟美國labour n tax ordinance,加上冇美國experience, 需要由低做起,打算找一些analyst的工作。一份工也可以提供medical, 也讓自己不會out of market, 回到亞洲也可找回工作。人工當然越多越好，哈哈，但最主要想cover讀private school 的費用,一年after tax income有40k, 會不會太難達到？

嘩，比我想像中大壓力啊！我理想的是一星期補一兩堂中文，其他時間學樂器同跳舞，因為我女兒好喜歡，還有多些outdoor activity, 看多書。因為多Chinese? Or coz of public school?

你試吓salary.com，應該可以俾到大慨你。記住，係美國除了salary，benefits都好重要。好多benefits係pre-tax扣，相對可以交小d税。
