WYmom,
Thanks so much for your sharing. You are always helpful. It is very useful to hear your personal experience on IS. Since it is really expensive to study in IS, I have to think twice before ...
mtot,
I don't know all IS, I can only tell that ESF schools do give chance to all students, e.g. all students in each grade will perform together a drama show in front of parents once a year, every student has to take a role. On Sport day, all students will play games together (easier games for Y1 & 2), so everyone has to play, rather than "compete". Besides, they have a lot of team projects in class, a lot of chance to show and tell (everyone will take turn). In Y1, my kid has to write her own stories and tell the class, dress in costumes of her favourite story character to share her stories etc., so the kids enjoy their own show and also develop their interest in reading and writing. Some kids of course will be more quiet, but at least they have to participate in different activities and do most of the work in class together with all the kids, rather than rely on the parents to complete at home.
As parent, I also keep encouraging my kid to participate more. Teachers sometimes give her stickers as encouragement if she has done well. These are some small but "valuable" token for the little girl. In local schools, some teachers also do so, but usually they do not have so much time to do a lot presentation and discussion as they need to spend more time on homework, dictations, tests and exams.
For other IS, maybe you can ask other parents in threads of their schools.
Hope you find the right school for your kid. Good luck.
