1) 直屬 - e.g. 培正中學, 香港華仁, 協恩女子中學, 喇沙 etc...呢d中學可以預留 not more than 85% of 中一學額俾番佢地既小學畢業生, so 讀佢地既小學會比街外人有"優先", 因而亦做成好多家長想讀到佢地既小學....
2) 聯繫 - e.g. 皇仁書院, 英皇, e 利沙伯官中..PLK 第一張永慶 etc...呢d 學校係可以預留 not more than 25% of 中一學額比佢地既"聯繫"小學既畢業生既..... e.g. 皇仁/英皇呢d係官校, 所以佢地既聯繫小學都係一d 官小 (e.g. 軒小) 如 PLK No. 1 佢既聯繫小學係 PLK 何壽南小學...etc (有表可以 check 到既), so 25% 都好過冇丫嘛...so 都有好多家長因而好想俾小朋友讀到呢d聯繫小學...
3) 冇關係中學...即係就咁中學一間, 冇其直屬/聯繫小學...
但阿公早前推出一條龍制度就係要"瓦解"上面幾種中學, 因為無論係直屬又好, 聯繫又好...都少不免要以'成績' 論英雄...then that means 學生又要被谷谷谷先可以搏到 Band 1 schools la...so 阿公就又諗d 屎橋嘞...結龍...then 就唔駛考試都可以直升中學喇...right? 咁好多學校都想既...之但係...要結龍就要 fulfill 3 criterias:
好幾年前我有睇輯好似新聞透視咁既訪問, 佢訪問一個以前係做 credit card marketing 既男士, 佢最近搞左間 kids learning centre (印象響中環, 唔知仲係樹冇...offer d 細路 course, e.g. English ar, EQ ar, 個停), 我 1st impression 已經係樹諗...吓....賣 card 既搞教育..? 我已覺唔多對路, 教細路唔係買賣, 當中 involve 好多 beliefs and ethics...唔係純睇"供求"架嘛.....
OK...唔好先 assume 人地唔得...或者人地真係有心辦教育呢...then 我睇落去....佢響入面講...大致就係"依家學前教育係有 market" ; ”我地投放左好多錢響個 centre 上” (佢地係 decorate 到個 centre 好靚, 甚麼德國來的 chair, etc...搞到個 centre 真係一入去就覺好 grand 好 high 咁) ; 所以個男士仲話...係呀, 好多家長要呢d feel, so 佢地開業冇耐就回本喇 (佢好似 invest about $1M)...即係好好賺...云云...
我一睇就拎哂頭...唉.........首先...乜辦教育, 有錢唔係放響 course development and teacher's training...以提升教學質素, 又或...推行小班教學 (e.g. 得個幾歲人仲要一班 1x 人既 English, 嘿嘿...成班細路玩多過聽喇...老師搞得秩序嚟都放學 lu ) 架咩...而係花響d external factors...仲係同教學冇 direct linkage 既 factor....唉....我都唔知講乜好...
我之前去過一d 俾細路既 "development" course 個d introductory talk.... 話提升佢地 (or so to say, "analyse") 多元智能... (MI)...嘩...做個 test $5xxx, 成個 course 又幾萬銀 (依家仲有賣廣告丫)....我承認個個 sell 個 course 既人 (should be the centre-in-charge) 把口真係好叻....仲好似醫生咁將d cert 貼哂出嚟比你睇...但我睇d Cert....well...... MSc in Marketing... Marketing....??!! 又係個句...我唔係唔信讀 business 可以講教育...不過...我更信 (從佢既 behaviour) 佢真係好能掌握家長 (customer) 既購買心理 (buying intention) 去令"消費者" 購買囉... 佢一定係 Distinction 畢業既....
之後我問佢....有冇野 (or proof) to show me any changes of my kid if 真係 join 個 course...同埋, what you will do to evaluate (佢話有 report ga ma) 我個小朋友既 MI....reliability level 有幾多....佢d師資 (佢 claim 有個 clinical psychologist 一齊 design the course, 但我事後去 check , 又 check 唔出佢呢位外籍人士有乜來頭 )...呢位後生仔 (呢個 Marketing 人) 又俾唔到個 convincing answer 比我...then 我梗係唔落疊喇...不過...就現場所見, 好多家長俾佢講到心郁郁架...事後有冇 join 亦唔到我理了...
不過....衰在我就係過唔到自己個關....做教育若冇個種堅持同信念 (教好下一代) 係唔得架...教育唔可以 treat it as a "business" , 唔係有求 (家長想學) 就要供 (開d唔知乜班, 乜都有得你讀一餐), 係要讀先讀架嘛...唔係個個 level 俾佢讀 or 冇 that need then 讀嚟做乜呀..... :evil:
Playgroup ==> 有名你叫...係 Play 既 group 囉...即係純粹一大班人 get together , 當中有人做 lead 去帶d activities, then others 就 follow. 起源自外國, 因為外國地方好大...好多小朋友出世時真係方圓百里都冇乜 babies, then 佢地又冇咁早讀 KG (normally 係 4 years+ 先讀架嘛), then D mothers 就自發地 contact D neighbours ar..friends ar gum....約埋一齊等d 小 BB get contact with each other lor....see, 佢地係純為 get to know more about other BBs, 都唔係一定要有 "syllabus" ga ma....Lead 都係自己 group 內d moms 去 lead, but 傳到嚟 HK 之後就成為好多 centre 既揾錢工具了....
Pre-school 同 nursery 分別唔大, 只係多數係d 英文幼兒園 (國際化個停) 就鍾意 called those N1 as "pre-school" la....即係學前教育既一種而已....but HK style 就多數叫幼兒園, 有埋托兒成份~~
來年 2007 P1 會於 Sep 9 展開...so you can foresee 年年都係咁上下時間就招生架喇..
佢地仲會有個 talk tim ...好鬼多人去架..今年係 Sep 9 ..你可以去佢地個 web look look....再唔係又去"小學雜談"個邊逛吓喇...包有人幫你問埋+答埋.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
需要做file show certificate 嗎?
==> d 人實同你講要...我亦唔知得唔得, 但我有眼見有d媽咪做個厚到成張床褥咁既連 2nd in 都冇...當日我大彥得兩張 school report + 1 張 swimming cert 咁大把都有得 2nd in....so you see....咁你話係咪一定有用呢....??
要唔要受浸証明呀?
==> 你有可以俾
