Re: 香港教育
Dear Uncleedward:
Nice to see you back! Indeed, I haven't been posting for a while, but I really miss you. Take care of your health and get well soon, ok?
It's glad to hear from you that the top students are still as good as those in the old days. Perhaps, if we just focus on the top students, they are even better than those in the past generations. I've seen numerous gifted children doing calculus and linear algebra in primary 5.. (Seriously, I don't know how they did that.) Feeling surprised, I asked my husband if this is possible, and this was his reply, "Of course yes~! Maths has no "age limit"! The accomplishment of a child is the combination of his own interests/talent, the layout of the resources and the method of teaching.....da da da da..." He actually found it happy that after 1997, HK students have had more opportunities to learn advance maths from texts in China. He was so happy browsing through the math texts the other day when he was in HK~! Perhaps, it is the same situation for piano playing as well? The level of students' music performance (as of those who are VERY SERIOUS about playing) has increased quite a bit. There are much more "performers" and "players" nowadays.
But I guess, unfortunately, this only accounts for a small group of students, and it's mostly the effort of the students/parents, but not the government's.
As for the division between bandings, to my surprise, my husband agrees to it! (He is a Canadian socialist, btw) His argument is that after 10 years or so, the band 2 schools will become better and some students who did not have a bright start in primary schools will also have a chance to move up. I hope he's right, but I'm not too optimistic about this. :)

Dear Vernique2005
It is nice to see so many acquaintances here. I've been away from BK for almost ten months because I was in and out of hospital during this period. Fortunately, things have settled down a bit now (I hope).
Back to your point, I suspect it has also something to do with the change from 5 bands to 3 bands. The diluting of band 1 students was more serious than the top schools originally thought. That is why we have heard all these adverse stories about King's, Wah Yan or even Queen's. And that is also why schools like your alma mater have taken advantage of the government's weired policy and changed into DSSs.
But be assured that the top students are still as good as those in the old days.

Another interesting factor associated with this matter is the much lowered "average marks" in Band 1 schools. Many Band 1 schools now have 70-75% as "average." As far as I remember, getting 70-75% in band one schools 15 years ago was actually quite disastrous. :) When seeing students' report cards, I'm always shocked, and the younger generation will say, "Hey~ I guess this is just 'generation gap'. Students nowadays don't aim so high anymore...." wahhahhhahahahah Yeah.. I guess I am getting old...
BTW, uncleedward, how are you? Haven't seen you for a long time! :)
