回覆:有冇家長后侮選了國際學校,而非傳統小學?

如果我們作為父母,只把核心競爭力看重於將來如何跟國內人競爭,我覺得我們已失去教育下一代的精神。自問我中、英都只是一般。在外國讀書時,亦有因論文底分而十分沮喪。記得當時教授同我講,言語的最基本用處是傳播信息、溝通。當然有強弱之分,但在職場上,做就成功,除了言語外,思維、價值觀、誠信、持續性的學習,還加上環境種種因素。言語能力,我總覺得,如有需要,人一定可以學到。就正如我曾經在間外國報社工作時,其中一位美國記者同事,他在7年之間,能學得一口流利廣東話同普通話,而他能夠一般寫、讀完全無問題。他說因工作需要,所以學,而香港就有這個環境,讓他學。國際學校又好,本地學校也好,只是一種學習的模式、渠道,各有長短。本人著重於小朋友的學習持續性、價值觀、思維、誠信,而引發正確人生觀。至於學術上,只要他們需要,終有一日能達到。

I agree with most of what you are saying but I thought we are having a discussion around language abilities?

LOL, that was so many episodes ago!  You better catch up, the 國際學校≠英文好 article has given a new "spin" to the thread.  Well, in my mind at least.

我唸吾可以講IS OR LS 邊D學生會較有競爭力,只係佢哋自細training吾一樣,同小朋友性格都好有關。好似國內好多人而家D英文都好好,但佢哋D思維方式始終同香港人吾一樣。香港係多元文化,乜人都有,讀國際學校既小孩有機會接觸到更多文化,眼光見識也瀡之增闊,競爭力同價值觀也會同讀一般本地學校的學生不一樣,例如國際學校考試一般沒有排名,競爭對手是自己而不是班上同學,大家競爭對象已不同了

Regret sending the kids to IS or not, we need to look at the education system, format, development and knowledge delivery as a whole but not just purely on the language abilities. In my opinion, parents should do more research before they choose a school for their children.  In fact, we are lucky to have a chance to choose between LS or IS for our children. I believed for the foreign countries,, except Asia, parents will only choose between, public, private and religious schools.

Sorry,我理解有限。看了,我覚得完全離題呀!香港有好多不同的國際學校,有D真係得個名,D學生D英文真係!仲有D學生係中學才入國際學校的,在口音上已很難改。但學術能力仍是很好的。我兩個女四歳已入讀法國國際學校,而家在英國top既女校讀書,佢哋既英文係top班中高分數的一羣,中文當然比LS 的學生差,但生活一般都無問題,正如之前有家長講,我哋呢班讀國際學校的媽媽,吾係想佢哋中文或英文幾叻,只係想佢哋有一個快樂既童年回憶,我兩個女原則上四年班以前吾識乜係考試。我一D都無后悔佢哋讀國際學校,好多謝國際學校俾到個咁闊既環境俾我小朋友去認識世界

Back on topic.    Language is indeed just one of many components of schooling and it is one of many reasons that parents send their children to IS.  Your point about exposure is a good one.  As for me, the most important reason is probably for them to love learning and have an inquisitive mindset.  Funny you bring up the point about exams.  Was trying to explain internal vs external motivation to them today.  They seem truly shocked that when I went to school, my test results would be used in a ranking that would say exactly where I am in my class and the whole form.  I think they have a hard time understanding studying hard just to get good grades

We are indeed lucky to have a choice.  In many countries, IS is simply not an option available to local parents or those without a foreign passport.  I agree with you that education is more than just languages and that it should cover values, critical thinking, life-long learners, ...  But even along those dimensions, aren't our children competing with mainlanders and others for university placements, job opportunities, and other resources ...?

I have two kids studying in IS and I have thus far no regret for making the decisions. The teaching style for IS enables my kids to speak up , express their ideas and they are highly inquisitive . On the other hand , I have to endeavor to make sure their Chinese standard are at least as good as the locals . This will open up a lot of opportunities . The sheer fact is that investment banking , fund management , law practice and management consulting in Greater China will nowadays seldom recruit non-Chinese speaking graduates . Many lawyers in multinational firm in Hong Kong can handle or even draft Chinese legal documents . Consultants are starting to write Chinese proposals . Even when you go to US , there is a trend that a growing number of Fund managers are Mainland Chinese. These Mainland Chinese will hold very senior position in 10-20 years later . Having said all these , your kids can other job opportunities

Chinese as good as locals is a very high target for IS students. I am sure others here including me would be very interested to know how you achieve that if it is not endless tuition classes.

There is no other more efficient way than studying in the right school . Second, family must encourage and support their kids to expose more in Chinese medium (revising their school works , building up more vocabulary , reading more and writing more ) . Chinese is substantially more difficult than English , schools and parents need to put additional effort . My kids' school teachers said we should target at the Beijing standard . In fact , some students in my kids' school are considered good even in Beijing standard .

我不是說每位讀本地女校也沒有香港音。大部份有香港音,少部份沒有。

Thanks. Mainland standard of Chinese is even higher than HK standard. So those kids's Chinese are better than local school students. That is very impressive considering iS students typically spend much more time speaking and using English than Beijing or HK students.

其實唔係離題、而係好多家長係度帶出英文係社會如何重要,縱使中國發展如何強,但英文係社會地位仍比中文重要,選擇IS係冇後悔!
