Sadly, primary one applications generate more painful tears than joyous tears.
Numerous popular schools have to turn away thousands of 5 year olds every year with no proven benefits to the outsome.
This is real cruel and inhuman.
Is it really necessary for us to suffer this way?

JadeW

Of coz no. You can pick a school under the lucky draw system.  It's just you want a choice or better choice.

Your comments are understandable. However, it is a voluntary competition.
Furthermore, after preparation for this game, you will know much better about your child.

Good luck!

如果有更好的教育制度，大多數家長都唔會參加這麼樣的小一入學申請搏鬥戰！其他發逹文明的社會，唔會在五歲時考十項活動，寫數頁portfolio ，參加多項賽事。你估咁多家長，真係需要這種搏鬥，才能了解幼兒？其他國家，唔學我地既入學制度，係咪好蠢？你要申報多間小學，每間參加多至三次面試，死去無千上萬的細胞，也真是自願嗎?

Imagine there's no Band 3
It's easy if you try...

you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

If all schools are made equal, there would be no need to compete fiercely for P1 admission.  But well, this is only a dream.

Like it or not, the system is there, no point to complain so much.

Societies progress when people spend time inventing and making improvements. We in HK are too busy playing a zero sum game.Many civilized societies have better primary school system than HK. It is not a dream, it is a reality.

問題係什麼制度才可以滿足大家呢？

self-fulfilling prophecy: 其實在英美的名私校畢業生上超名大學的比例也比公校高，但不是普通公校的學生沒有機會。我的年代不少朋友入Oxbridge 和 Ivy League 也是在香港的非傳統名校出生。但近年不知為何香港家長認定幾所為「神校」，一些為「名校」，其實師資和其他學校分別不是很大，當然設施有明顯分別（所以有些新校的吸引力比不少津校以至「傳統名校」還高）。然而，當self fulfilling prophecy 生效，也真的難說這些學校將來的畢業生可能比過去更出類拔萃。這樣的循環下，作為家長自然會讓小孩參與這個「遊戲」。還是那句，有直資和私校的選擇，總比只有抽籤和世襲好。當然，如果全民包括政府願意投入更多資源（要交多些稅？）在師資和硬件上（點解有些有泳池足球場其他大多數冇？），學校整體質素分別不大時，又何用爭餐死？

當家長和學生為自己挑選最好的學校，為甚麼學校不能或不應挑選合適自的學生呢？因為受納稅人的資助？那麼憑甚麼準則分配學位才算合理﹑公平﹑有效率呢？結果是抽簽和考試。公平的定義是平等還是自由？自由的原則下，每人都憑努力和水平去爭取幸福，是否也是一種平等？筆試不合幼童，測試只好憑面試了。家長有各樣渠道了解和挑選學校，學校除了申請表格和成績表之外，還可以怎樣了解應招生？

樓主的痛苦可能無可避免，但只向三兩間目標學校申請，便大大減輕孩子和自己的痛苦﹑壓力和疲累了。認清目標，努力向前。

中小學多人申請可能由於不確定性Uncertainty，產生恐慌之下，申請更多學校作保險，惡性循環。

分階段放榜，降低不確定性，自行已收，自然放手中的直私學位，可能少了盲搶學位的現象！

There are 2 types of people in the world: the ones who lead and the ones who follow.
Our spoon-fed education system tends to produce rule-followers and symbol-worshippers. Hence the lack of inventors and leaders from HK.
Some are beginning to find the insanity of the situation unbearable.
Ask your friends abroad and they will all tell you that the present HK's primary one admission system has become a laughing stock of the civilized world.

每個制度下都有成功及失敗嘅地方。何必太執著呢？

bigheadchiu

而你話香港lack of inventors and leaders, 我覺得主要原因不是教育，而是同香港嘅經濟模式有關。另外，香港只是一個城市，你要同美國、德國整個國家比，當然冇得比了。

好多揀YW的家長係唔贊成spoon feeding。
直資的特點就是給了學校多啲自由，用不同的方法去教。

我同意是經濟模式，香港商家傾向high tech high 嘢，low tech 撈嘢！
