有冇家長后侮選了國際學校，而非傳統小學？

FattyDaddy

I guess some might feel 後悔 but no one will feel 后侮, because no one dared to insult the queen

better to send her to local stream for kindergarten and primary to build up her 底子。

As for insulting the queen...hmmm that is another story altogether. ...

Haha, the queen has very little to do with it

Yes, local stream should help, especially with Chinese, and I'm sure your child won't write 后侮 instead of 後悔 {:1_1:}

what's led to choosing the IS route?? ...

As with any major decision, there are many factors to consider, and each family's situation is unique so there are no right or wrong choices, what is right for one family could well be wrong for another.

However there is perhaps one important question which carries more weight than others, that is where in the world do you think your family will eventually reside (or spend most time in), if it is going to be somewhere in the greater China area, then local schools might be a better choice, if it is going to be somewhere in the English speaking world, then international schools would be more suitable.

I always believe education are shaped by society, the local schools in Honglong are what they are not by chance but because they churn out people who are considered "right material" for Hongkong society, so in a way, the criticisms from members of your extended family are not totally groundless, international schools might produce people who will face various difficulties if they are going to spend major parts of their lives in Hongkong, learning and using Chinese will always be an uphill battle for example. For ex-pats or Hongkongers who are leaving sooner or later, this won't matter much, but for those who don't foresee themselves going anywhere, they should think thrice before choosing the international school path.

I think we should all learn how to endure what the environment forces us to do and forsake our choice of education. ...

There are ideals, and then there is reality, no man is an island, unless one really wants to live on a desert island and not be a part of any society.

Education doesn't exist by itself but as a function of society, to pick an extreme example, consider the education in China, a certain amount of brainwashing is an ESSENTIAL part of it because it churns out the "right material" for that society. Play along with the system one could even be the next 習總, play against it and one might be another 劉曉波. I'm not passing judgement on whether this situation is right or wrong, it is just the way things are at the moment. One could accept it, or fight it (with an aim to change it), or leave, again, I'm not saying which action is right, it will be a political discussion I rather not get into.

就讀國際學校的學生，英文是否一定頂瓜瓜？答案當然是不。

Well, English standard of international school students may not be tip-top, but for sure it is better than the average local school student.

Actually this kind of comment is a waste of time, it is rather like saying 火車是否一定行得快？答案當然是不

However, I do have a theory on why LS students are finding it harder and harder to get into top US colleges ...

I'm not interested in the debate but I'm interested in your theory, may be it is more productive to share this? (in a new thread if you prefer) {:1_1:}
