德望 ==> 有朋友有兩個女都 studying there, 佢話呢間學校唔錯, 但功課都唔少, 另相比 DGJS 佢英文程度唔夠 DGJS 高, 但比起 other 一般既 Band 1 school 已經係唔錯的了, 學校較傳統, 典型修女學校, 幾講守規的
KTS ==>通常係 back up choice, 佢程度唔係差, 但多數d家長都係考唔到 DGJS ar, DBSPD ar, SPCC ar, 又派唔到好津小之後就會揀佢. 佢派位都唔係話差, 不過就係唔夠 other 的私小出名咁啦
St Mary ==>津校之中係 top choice of most parents with gals. 但程度都幾高, 又或者咁講...叫得"名校"個d, 要保住個招牌, 都一定唔會教得淺, 唔係第日d "product" 唔掂咪死火...?? 但因為佢收生係冇得揀, 所以好睇d學生頂唔頂得住喇...而所謂頂唔頂得住就係好睇父母如何"協助"學校去 back up the kids la...唔係的話, 齋靠自己咁去讀, 除非個學生真係自己好得, 唔係的話, 唔好心存僥倖. No free lunch 的.
本來我們想讓仔仔念St. Catherine,結果仔仔也上了培正,我們喜歡培正但不喜歡中文中學
==>既然你唔可以接受呢間學校 offer 既野, then why 要入去? 唔好因為佢有一條龍就去, 你係唔鍾意的, 俾個有三億身家既老公你又如何, right? 當然, 你係唔係可以揾到一d you feel comfortable 既 ways to overcome such "weakness" of the school is another story, 諗極都唔 feel good 的, leave it 吧.
小學再出去考,但了解培幼比較淺,可能很難考出去
==> 佢淺好難考出去係 one point, 因為多數高一線的學校對英語水平要求都幾高, 培幼 K3 都係教好少野的, 所考出去係有難度, 而另一個 point 係入得培幼就唔得搞珠, so 考津小更唔駛諗, so you better think carefully. Give and take game here. 世事永遠都唔會兩全其美的.
聽說培正是一所很傳統很傳統的學校,仔仔相當活潑好奇,不知道老師會不會覺很煩
==>"很"傳統就談不上, 不過係老派d就真既, 尊師重道呢類規矩都幾講究咁啦, 但就算有投訴, 煩都係煩個家長而已 (成日會同你反影咁啦), so 你 take it easy 係冇問題的 (有邊個細路唔反斗架), 入面d老師又唔係第一日教書, 有咩人未見過丫, 只要家長肯配合, 內外夾攻 (教小朋友規矩 etc) 係冇問題的.
而且, 人會受 influence 而 change 的, so 遲d小朋友都會學會守規的, 問題係家長們喜唔喜歡 such way of teaching only la...你接受到就得.
Say I use my mom’s home address to enter the draw for P1 (eg draw within Net 11, but we live in Southern district). Unfortunately, my girl didn’t get allocated to the school I like. So I go to my preferred school to request for interview. When the principle interviews my girl and asks her where she lives, should I teach my girl to LIE???
I am sure many people will do the same. just wonder how they handle this case or how will they answer such question.

==> This is an ETHICAL issue here, and that links with your own ethical values. You are the one to decide, not us.
I am sure many people will do the same. just wonder how they handle this case or how will they answer such question
==> You may go to ask those people and check with them how they answer.
My motto is : whatever others do =/= what I will do, I will only do what I feel comfortable to do. That's it.
==>I recall that at the time when I was still a primary school pupil, I even didn't have the idea of how much I should score to get an 'A'. I would say, life at our time is much much healthier! I really don't want to put myself and my kids to such situation.
Sometimes, I would think, if the kid's abililty is high, you need not to push him like this because he will find a way of learning which he feels comfortable, in such a way, he will not be under unaffordable/unnecessary stress and of course, his scores may not be as high as those who are trained to do so. If the kid's ability is not up to the minimum requirements of the school, I would rather find another school for him which suits him more. (Kid's ability here only means how well he could cope with HK's education style and system.) Learning is a life-long process, as parents, the most important is to encourage and introduce our kids to have a correct attitude and value of life.
By the way, its obvious that parents nowadays, give too much pressure on themselves and their kids. Every year after the results of kindergartens' interview were announced, there are so much parents discussing the reason why the kgs didn't take their kids, somebody say, parents' background, some say their address etc. You can imagine, how their kids would become in the future. :cry: :cry: :cry:
好多人常常讚賞"鮮魚行小學" (guess you have heard of this school too, right?) 佢地校長梁紀昌有好好既遠見, 辦學既熱誠, 又話校長同老師都好有心, etc...但....我真係想知, d 家長讚得佢咁緊要, 又唔見佢地將子女送入去讀書...??? (先唔好理佢唔近屋企呢d hardware)
嘿嘿..無他既, 我...作為都係人地阿媽...我可以好老實答, 我唔會...點解...?? 因為 HK 人既 culture 就係 collectivism, 越多人爭既先係越好, 越多人讀既學校先有機會 ask for 更多 resources (both from government + parents) 亦因此而更容易 produce 優秀既學生, 我本來都唔認同此 norm, 但奈何呀, 我唔介意我阿仔讀鮮魚行係冇用既, 第日d優秀英中一見你係鮮魚行出黎既你估佢又會唔會考慮你呢...?? 第日見工你估佢又佢又會先揀個鮮魚行既 No. 1 定係一間 XXX 天主教既 No. 13 呢? (都唔好攞黎同 DBS ar, La Salle 呢d比了)
我睇見新聞講梁校長連幫學校改善教學資源既 budget 都冇, 只可以問d 大公司攞佢地一d 佢地唔要既二手 outdated 電腦, 個心好難受...點解教育會變成"有錢先有得揀, 可以好d享受, 冇錢就要捱破破爛爛既校舍丫", 乜教育唔係應該人人都有相同既待遇既咩...?? But sorry, this never happens in HK.
我唔喜歡呢種 stereotyping, 但無奈我一人之力根本改變不了 HK 呢個"勝者為王, 敗者為寇"既觀念, 當 HK 大部份人 (including 家長) 都係咁睇 (你可以話係個教育制度做成) 既時候, 我又點可以俾阿仔去 "take risk" 去讀一d 唔知得唔得既學校呢...?? 當我無力去 change the culture 既話就要 fit in, 問題係我點樣可以 fit in just the minimum 咁啦....
有好多野真係好現實, "巧婦難為無米之炊", 再有心辦學既人, 遇著冇人 support (唔係心 only, 係 $$$ to be realistic) 又如何...?? 還不是落得要俾人殺校...??
若我真係一個有錢人, 我一定出錢幫鮮魚行 (可惜今日個 4 千幾萬 Mark 6 唔係我中), 俾足夠既 budget 梁校長等佢可以揾更高質素既老師, 改善學校, then 自然就可以吸引更多家長送子女入讀, 有人讀先有得教, 之後先會有機會表現俾外面d人睇我地d "product" 係得既, 係冇...??
因此, 唔好講名校了, even 普通學校, 都一樣會某程度上"迫"學生去追上程度, even 父母都係, 因為冇人想自己個仔做蘿底桔, 去得d 程度較認真既 (this include Pui Ching here) , 你唔想鬥唔係問題, 不過就係正如附頁個位家長分享, 爭一分就係一分, 當兩個只能活一個既時候, 你估d家長會點做?
彥媽,
"仲有好多問你同阿仔讀緊乜, 但你問佢佢又唔講你知, 原來佢聽完你講之後背後即刻去 catch up 做多你十倍呀..."
==>莫非真的不能讓小朋友開心愉快地學習?為嘜要攪到好似個戰場咁.可能有d家長见我咁問會覺得我好天真, 但我都想問番佢地一句,嘜你好想咁咩?唔想做嘜要逼自己同個仔去做?彥媽你好嘢eq髙, 比著如果我遇到這麼aggressive的家長我會採取駝鳥政策,遠離呢d人.因為唔想影響到小朋友之餘,自己又冇咁辛苦.
講真我都是間名名哋嘅學校出生(heep yunn), 同學之間點都有啲Competition,但係係良性嘅,a source of motivation to improve ourselves.同埋鬥極都永遠唔關家長事囖.仲有,响呢d戰鬥環境下,我地更加要敎小朋友做人要光明磊落,唔好因為要嬴人而去出賣人格囖.
因此, 我都想小朋友可以快快樂樂地成長, 早日我睇"方樹泉小學"個位小女孩 (寫信比溫家寶個個, 事後溫總親自回信), 佢連讀書既資源都唔夠, 但人既鬥志強, 目標明確, 睇見佢講話佢連筆袋都冇多餘錢買一個, 但仍有永不言敗既精神, 我真係感動到喊, 我禽日俾篇文大彥睇, 就係想佢知, 呢個世界永遠競爭既對象係自己 only, 唔係人地做乜 = 我地要做乜的, 即使我地見到人地有d唔公平既玩法, 我地都要光明正大, 做足就 enough, no need to compare. 希望佢聽得明啦...
講真我都是間名名哋嘅學校出生(heep yunn),
==> hehe.....你個個年代d人諗既野, 又同呢代同唔同呢? 我記得以前我細個我讀書個時阿爸阿媽都唔會太"干涉"我 (即係唔理我 ) 所以我冇乜壓力的, 但依家呢個年代既父母 (or even 學生) 都變得好鬼 strategic ga...佢地會識計...要攞多幾多分就係 A, 幾多個 A 同 conduct 咩 grade 就係優異生, so 就好"目標明確" 咁去衝刺架, 以前我個代真係鬼會留意呢d咩, 考到乜就乜架喇...連我夜晚個d學生都有d係咁...見 assignment 已攞到 20 分, 就同自己講考試攞多 20 就得 (40 is passing mark wor), 仲會計埋答邊條就係最易 get that 20 , so 分分鐘答一條 only, 連試下答埋 others 都懶....我都唔明, 咁讀書法有乜用...??? 但你又唔可以話佢咁做唔岩喎...我都唔知點 comment such behaviour...
頭先我剛同一個以前同大彥一齊讀 N1 既小朋友 mom chat (我地好彩依家仲係好 friend) 佢仔仔係讀一間唔算有名既學校, 不過都係唔錯既學校, 我同佢剛講起呢瓣, 我問佢佢間學校有冇 similar situations, 佢都話"梗係有啦", 大家就一齊呻下咁啦, 佢仲提我"小三仲勁呀" (我都知, 小三係課程更深既一個 turning point) hehe....咁當然, 唔會係 all parents 既, 又唔駛 too worry wor...若我真係嚇親大家就好對唔住喇.... :mrgreen: 只係間唔時俾你見到一個半個都會想反肚 only la
其實我講出一d 情況出黎並唔係要因此而 comment 一間學校既好與壞, 只係想指出幸福唔係必然, we have to take both good and the bad la....唔得要一樣唔要一樣, 好多野都係 package 咁去接收既, so 入到一間好既學校已經係一個 good start, 但都仲要好多既付出先可以造就一個快樂既小朋友, 家長當中點樣去配合同睇一d情況而去正面處理都係一個 learning la...
