I declare interest first : my child is a girl studying K1, so I have no favour or prejudice against the subject boys' school. I hope I won't prolong the arguments already sparked up in my saying the following : many of you would no doubt learn from children education literature that children get into argument with their peers easily coz they would take their own perception as the only truth in the world; there is nothing morally wrong about this, as this is how they come to know this world through their own senses, but, through education, they need to learn that they don't enjoy the benefits of all materials which, if well advised, would lead them to different views. That was why I was impressed that when my girl attended K1, I found IB education was to teach the children to undo the habbit of sticking to their own perception and leaving no room for differences. Turning back to the discussion here, it is true that sometimes we see comments posted here are motivated out of ill-will or partisanship. We know it when we see it. But then, we see many honest comments posted here and would attract serious "fight-back" by others. This is not healthy. In fact, this is unwise,coz many can't see two views, which seem opposite on their faces, are in fact co-existent. Like here, I have talked to one of its 校董 and its teacher. They both say this principal is in a very poor relationship with Board of 校董 and many teachers. Without favouring any side of views, the best way to put it is that this principal has strong conviction in her own way, and it is a fact many teachers have left. Then, we see at the same time that its students are doing academically very well. Thus, the reasonable understanding of the real situation is that this school is still able to do very well with the teachers who choose to stay behind, and the reason for these teachers staying behind can be for one reason or another. What I am saying is that the two camps here (teachers' camp and current parents'/users' camp) are not necessarily rivalry. I don't understand why can't we, as parents and adults, try to make sense out of different views. There is no need to argue against an empty enemy. For those who are familiar with martial counselling, they can also tell you how couples always pick up fights and arguments where, in truth and reality, there are no real differents existing to start with! |
