本人是一位新任媽媽， bb快18個月大了， 是時候要開始幫她安排將來入學之事(可能已經遲了)。本人有點笨笨的，看過PartII之後, 都係唔係好組織得到整個入學流程, 及教兒方向，
＝＝> 咁你有冇睇我既 "精華篇" 先....新人睇野, 建議先從精華篇入手先有用架 wor, 你只係睇 part II 就梗係睇唔明喇...仲有, why not start from Part 1 then? 幫襯得彥媽既 topic 就唔得行捷徑的, 你依家 BB 仲係細丫..有時間丫...一日睇幾頁, 好快就睇哂...你有睇開, 應知彥媽規矩, 請唔好罰我同一個答案打完又打 (雖則我自問打中文字都幾快), so 重覆性既問題恕我唔答 .. 係新人我就俾一次 chance...
想問的事：
1. 如果只係帶bb每星期上一次的playgroup課程, 比起讓她返幼兒班, 那樣好些呢?
==> 先去睇 "幼稚園 vs 幼兒園" at 精華篇, then you should be able to figure out the difference between nursery vs. playgroup ...唔該溫書先..
之前見有媽媽問坊間phonics, 我都想同小朋友參加, 當是學0野又好, 當玩一玩都好, 但實在太多choice, 不知你對 - letterland, jolly phonics 及 hooked on phonics 教材有沒有認識呢? 因就算決定了選那種教材後還有學校要選. 你小朋友有沒有讀phonics呀!
==> 唔同 system 而已, 大家都係同一 objectives, so it depends on 你喜歡邊隻喇...好似 Sony TV, 同 Toshiba 咁, 都係 TV, 但 system 唔一樣, so 你就有時會考慮埋, e.g. 屋企用 Sony 野多 , 咁買番 Sony 就可以 share 埋個 remote la...之類, 即係...你若想考某學校, 而某學校就要某 system 既 phonics, then 你可以就考慮報個款喇.
I posted the following at my blog too..but I guess it may be good to share here with others, so let me re-post here too la...
剛才發現你從沒2回應留言,所以在這版再post一次,希望你看到.如果打擾了,請見諒!
==> 知你已在 BK and here 留言, OK , now I got time to answer la....呢樹個留言板我係唔多留意的, 所以你留 "回應" 我會快d 睇到既....
從我這樣追看你的文章,就知我對你的認同等同迷戀了. ^^
==> 多謝支持..
我的兒子4歲8個月,2-3歲時發現有語言遲緩,我不怕他發展慢,但發展慢,令他的表達能力不好,因而影響他的情商和交友.所以很貴很累都去上st.上了8個月私家speak therapy後,發覺他已達標.,4歲半做assessment的時候,已有5歲半的語言能力,真係玩死阿媽.
3歲半後又發現他的小肌比一般小朋友慢,做了assessment,說慢了一年.現在有早期教育中心跟進.其他方面.認知比同齡高,大肌就沒有問題.
熱愛文字和數學.他的認字能力跟小一的學生差不多,也開始學會加數.我也知道這不是他天才,而是我和老公努力的成果.
==> 你肯為阿仔做咁多野, 証明你好 care about his growth, 好事黎丫....我三仔依家就快 3 歲, 都只係講得單字, 我都未打算正式同佢 follow up, cos somehow I believe 順其自然 to a certain extent, unless 真係爭好遠好遠, otherwise 我會先觀察, 再同老師傾, 先去...所以, 我都係打算 next month 先同佢揾 language therapy. Life is a learning process (to me), 試想, 以前既人都唔會有呢d therapy ga la...咪一樣可以 learn? so 有時我會諗, 係唔係依家真係d 人慣左 "被協助" 就反而冇左份動力去自己行多一步呢..??
我想問的是小學選校問題.
1.小兒慢熱,而且英文對答不好,(你用英文問他,他用中文答的多.),這樣的孩子報考直資/私立,是不是很難成功呢? (因為英文不好,幼稚園又不出名等等)
==>唔可以咁講, 因為好多 DSS/ private school interview 都係用中文 ga wor...I can't see any difficulties here...but the point is: (1) 是否一定要入呢類學校?...你想入係因為你知呢d 係乜學校, 定係人地話係知你d 學校好好, 一定要考之類而想去考..?? (2) 你 target 既係唔係 DBS ar...SPCC ar 呢d 先...? (3) 係你眼中是否官津校唔可行, 因為你怕抽唔到先想考直資/私立呢...? (4) ended up 你想小朋友大個係一個咩人先..? (5) How much resources are you able to give (not only $$, but your time, 你是否打算隨時連 home office 都 give up 埋去help him? (6) 又.....你認為是否值得...? i.e. what are your values? can you share?
2.我看了很多你的回應和fans的提問,也看了有關學校的網頁,但好像沒有以下的資料,請問很那些小學是以全英文面試呢?又或是英文一定要很好才有機會被取錄呢?(要是一定要流利對答,阿仔一定唔得.)
==> 以我所知, St Stephen Preparatory school 係以 either English/Putonghua interview 的, 其他既, even DBS, SPCC 都係可以以中文回答, 佢地用英文只係方便個d 以 English 為 mother language 既 kids 去 interview, 唔係利用咁俾d 中國人去 show off 的, 所以, 係唔係英文好d 就收呢點我唔認為係, 反而有冇關係, 細路醒唔醒, 有冇自信, 主動性 etc etc 先係 selection criterias. 我見你呢樹都問好多關於語文既問題, 語文 (尤其係英文) 真係係你心中咁重要? even more than Chinese? 點解呢..?? 若你話係為左上大學既話, 你有睇我精華篇, 就會知我一向強調 language 係會隨 time + practice 而變得純熟的, 因此, 每個小朋友既 development stage 都唔同, 真心一句, 你做左可以做既就夠, 我唔 encourage over-doing, 有d 時候大人太多既安排, 太多既"處心積慮" 係唔係就一定可以為細路 guarantee 到未來一條穩妥既路呢...? 既然我地唔可以陪到佢地走到最後一步, 咁....有d 野等佢順其自然少少係唔係又係較好既做法呢..?
Somehow I do not have an absolute answer here, 只係, 當我自己回望自己為小朋友過去一直做既安排, 我會話成績係好壞參半, 有d 野我 reflected 完, 我會認為我根本唔駛做, 又或唔駛做咁多....有左大仔既時候就係做得太多, 依家我發現對二仔, 三仔, 唔駛做咁多, 又或 give them something else , 結果都可以好 positive, 反而大仔就係因為有太多 attention and care before, 人既野就係咁, 一直都冇係冇問題的 - 家人接納就可以, 但曾經有過, 之後少左, 感覺自係唔同, 好多因為 "失去" 而引發出既 attention seeking 行為就會因此而生. 所以, 從我幾個仔既經驗所得, 我學識用 "平常心" 去睇一件事, 盡力而為就係最好栽培佢地既方法. 不過, 我心仍係 buy "出國"呢樣野, 因為世界太大了, 出去唔係貪外國個月亮圓d , 而係人出左去, 見識左世界之大, 就會體會到自己一d 小挫拆, 原來只係雞毛蒜皮, 對 train up 佢地既 AQ, EQ 有莫大既幫助, 亦可以幫佢地積極地, 有勇氣地咁走佢地將來既路.
為什麼我會問以上的問題呢?因為如果有信心考到心儀的直資/私立,就可以就近報安全網,如果沒有信心,就報老公小學的校網,因為20分多數可以入.
==> 你睇完我上述所講...就會明...strategy 好簡單, private /DSS schools 照考, 考到就好, 考唔到亦無需介懷, 甚至, 我一向唔鼓勵為左考到某直資而去做太多谷既行為, 我大彥同中彥當日去考, 乜都冇做過, 只係好簡單咁 prepare 左一個 CV 入面有d 相同我講出我地d 仔既了解, 我認為而足夠, 淨番落黎既, 就係靠佢地自己 (最後有d 收有d 唔收), 我亦深信, 好多野係 "塞翁失馬, 焉知非福" 考得入固然可喜可賀 (入到心頭好), 但入唔到既, 就可以就既有資源盡力而為, somehow 唔係壞事丫..因為...由細 "贏" 到大既反面就係輸唔起 bor, so why bother to push ourselves to one end at all time lei? 人生唔係 only 讀書嘛......而且, 今年考唔入, 真係想去既, 下年再考囉...not a big deal ar...right?
人到唔同既階段都會有唔同既心境同要求, 你上面擔心既野我已經歷過哂, 當你經歷之後再回望過去, 自會有唔同既體會, 因此....依家我更珍惜既係 (1) 家人一起相處, 不談正事, 只談風月既個種暢快, (2) 俾自己同老公都有多少少私人時間去做下我自己想做好耐, 但為揾食一直都冇時間做既事, (3) 帶小朋友多見識世界, 增加眼界.....呵呵... 做呢d 全冇目的而為, 只係想有個 balanced life only. 我會想我小朋友將來都識享受生命, 愛自己已有既野就好了. Maybe this looks 頹廢 in other eyes, but who cares? 人係為自己而活 ma...我小朋友無論將來係乜, 我都會愛佢地就得喇....hehe...
再之謝謝你無私的分享!
==> 唔好客氣, 大家切磋切磋 ja....
(搞到我都覺得要考慮生多個)
==> 呢個問題我遲d 都會講架....係好事, I super support ga!

my girl has a baby brother whom is still a baby...and we will have nothing on lucky draw.
So 問題應分先後次序, 我未答你兩間女校點睇, 你要先問你自己, 你想唔想家姐就埋個細佬至真 wor...有左呢個答案先有諗 next step ga...
I know about this...that is why a bit worried, just wanted to see which one "provide" better foundation if brother can also get in the same kinder if he is lucky...
你要先問哂自己以下問題 bor (按次序)
1) 想唔想用家姐拖細路入學?
2) 定係想細佬入私校/DSS?
3) 萬一入唔到係唔係都 OK 去抽獎?
Not sure about brother as not yet know his potential...of coz would love brother to be in lucky draw (cheaper) but as we do not have good address so maybe need to go for DSS too...
Priority: 2, 3 (will need to get an address :( ) 1
I get your points, many thanks! Do you have any information regarding the rate of both kinder gets in their primary school? I heard the rate is not 100%
I know about this...that is why a bit worried, just wanted to see which one "provide" better foundation if brother can also get in the same kinder if he is lucky...
==> 逢係一條龍式既學校既特色都係旨在你會直升, 因此係 syllabus 上佢地一定唔會好似出面個d 為谷小朋友考小一個d 幼稚園咁教的, 因為大部份人入得都會直升 (唔係入去做乜 wor, right?) 所以..你問呢句 :"provide a better foundation..." 唔多成立, 因為一來佢地係女校, 細佬一定唔會直升 (事實上呢類小學係女校既幼稚園根本就會係男少女多 ga wor...比例爭咁遠, 對男仔黎講, 咁不如出去讀好過), 再者, 前面都講左一條龍既幼稚園競爭力相對一定冇個d 專谷小朋友考勁小一既, so unless 你唔介意考普通小學喇 (不過若係咁, I guess you rather go for 抽獎喇..right?)

: I really need to say thank you to you this this...I think I should be cool down a bit and wait to see brother's potential...

: personal comment! so for you you will choose SPK (more risky?) or SH (safer); this is the tough one as I really do not know should I take the risk/challenge....

==> for me I will pick SPK. 每個人對風險既接受能力都唔同, 其實你問我都冇用的, 因為最終要 take risk 個個係你, 唔係我嘛..(十足買基金咁)....對我...讀幼稚園只係人生一個最初最初既起點 only, so 梗係買 "高增長基金" 喇....hehehe....去到中學就先均衡基金啦.....
但真係獲益良多.
