Yes, i think the ideal is 50/50 and the minimum for an effective program is 33/67

There are growing Westerners sending their kids to local schools. Take a lo ...

Again, I am not sure what you are getting at.  You want to switch your child to a local school because of Chinese?

Nobody would argue against the importance of Chinese.  Foreigners wanting their kids to learn Chinese in HK is like Chinese parents wanting their kids to learn English in the UK or the US.


But have you watched the RTHK program not long ago about how difficult it is for foreigners to learn Chinese in local schools.  Most of the kids in the program were giving up.

Yes, it is not easy as local schools focus on rote-learning and have tons of homework. I heard a joke the other day in the lift with a local kid saying that he was so lucky today coz he only had five different homeworks in a day

Hmm, I think technically doable but only if the child only sleeps 8 hrs a day and can focus from beginning to end.  I do afterschooling at home and I have a tough time seeing how to pull it off with a full day of school at a Chinese LS with all its homework ...

The interesting thing with studying in a Chinese primary and wanting to keep English sharp is that the only pre-requisite is "extensively" reading English books from a young age.  Which is quite easy to do given the wide spectrum of interesting English books.  With some listening/oral practice by watching TV or parents speaking to them some of the time (eg Saturday).  Some parents can even give children reading time as "relaxing" activities, no work load needed.  I have seen some successful cases like this.

Definitely kids can handle both English and Chinese .  We need to believe, and let go persistently.  Don't plant doubles in their head saying how difficult to learn it.  The best way out is always through.

只想分享一些個人睇法,is 的ib program pyp 同myp 的確有大距離分野。我們不用太擔心,我門平時也要小朋友的數和中文。

因為Ib program 利用小學那六年去學不同科別的語言能力,著重自我尋找答案的能力及打好聽寫講三方面的語言能力。year 6 的功課已是維京人的發展史之類的文明素材的題。自己research ,自己寫,再present .這種解題的能力是ib program 想達到的目。閱讀範圍之廣泛,由遠古文明至科學層面都有。

Is 是陪養能力為主,智識背誦靠興趣來支撐的,而本地以填鴨為主(考試為主)興趣來支撐你的記憶是兩套教學模式。is 比較多essay writing 講自己意見自己感受的功課。而ls 比較多指定答案的功課。

The focus of IS (including maths) is understanding  . IS focuses on long term results while local schools focus on short term results . It is interesting to see more westerners winning noble prizes in science and maths than Asians

簡單講, 如有經濟能力, 一定international school 好!!! 但如果計算過未必有能力將來出國讀書, Local school 係無辦法之下的選擇.......(因為由international school 入HK的大學,機會率低些.....)

For local uniy, yes perhaps IB score over 42 is safe for The three uniys' popular programs.

Despite there being such a common belief, the chance of getting into hot programmes of the 3 top local Us should be equivalent for top scorers of IB (or other overseas qualifications) and DSE.

教法唔同,本地生係識,國際生係識搵;叻D既地生係熟,叻D既國際生係諗。但上到大學兩者差異應該近左。

Really?  My personal experience is the reverse.  Gap gets larger in university and even larger in work place.  I think good LS students are very good with memorization and manipulating what they know to get an answer.  I think good IS students know how to ask the right questions.

I agree inquisitive approach better cultivates researchers in number and quality. It explains small number of Asian professors at top universities, given Asians outnumber others in world population. Those top Asian professors get their first degree even commonly at Western universities.

In workplace, it seems the IS students do not have the edge over the LS students, as the bosses are not dominated by IS graduates, in MNCs or local conglomerates. Perhaps it is not the case for some communities. I tend to see LS education up to high school plus overseas studies are as smart as IS students.

It is not about whether or not a person is smart.  If we assume if all else the same, the IS/western students know what questions to ask (the way HKTHK put it).  Local/Asian student know the answers.

This means local students are more suitable for a professional career, while the IS people tend to be better management or creative people.  Of course this is at the risk of stereotyping, and there are many vice versa cases.  But I think it is generally true.
