Personally, it is not even a matter of outgoing or shy.

The idea of interviewing a 20 month old kid ...
Yes I agree interview process at this age is totally unnecessary. I was raised in Australia and even high school students don't go through an interview process, let alone toddlers under 2

It is a vicious cycle -> people interview many with many offers -> harder to get offers in any specific school -> to be safe you need to interview more schools because you don't want to fail your only interview.....

I think some parents like difficult interviews because it shows the school's intention to teach difficult materials too (somehow some parents enjoy asking kids to learn in advance ex: start writing in PN or K1, phonics in PN, etc).

I didn't intentionally train him up for these things (apart from reading bedtime stories with him and him attending playgroup at Tutortime). A lot if these things come up in normal conversations we have on a daily basis. He could tackle his interviews so far without much pressure. But I know what you mean.

Agreed.  I believe it is better to learn in a natural way (that's why I stay away from phonics etc and just let my son pick up languages naturally by conversation).  I would rather spend time going to the park and play with him instead of reviewing or getting ready for tests and homeworks.

It's insane, I think the system is biased towards precocious toddlers, which is not healthy at all. Many smart people do develop more slowly at this stage......

I have only one child so I'm sending him to a happy school so he has some social life.

My approach to choosing is mainly based on observing him during interviews. See how the teachers interact with him, does he feel happy with the teachers there, does he feel happy with the environment.

I guess it's how we package the whole thing to our children too.After doing a few interviews, I think what's asked are not too unreasonable (but I'm lucky in a way cos he's already 20 months, so he's more mature).
Since young when we feed him fruit, we show him how the fruit looks like before it's cut, we tell him in day-to-day conversations that "orange is called orange cos it's orange in colour", "do you want to pass mommy the yellow banana"... when we eat biscuits, we count the no. of biscuits on the plate. We played pretend-play tea sets, plastic animals are our tea mates... etc. These things are part of his life.
Of course he may opt not to follow all orders during the interview but I accept that as it's normal that he's shy in front of strangers and I will still praise him every time after his interviews. I see all these interviews as my chance to understand the school instead and see what kind of elements are missing in our home education so that we can add those elements into our games at home.
I see it as our responsibilities to provide / expose him to what he should be learning, but accept him to learn these things according to his own pace. I am sure the children have absorbed what we say. It's just a matter of time when they are showing what they have learnt.
My two cents.
P.S. I am a working mom too and I admit it's hard work.

最重要你知道她/他是懂的,那就好了。他們的臨場表現實在不重要,這心態是我們需調節的。但有些媽媽/爸爸說他們的孩子不能辨認顏色所以學校不應該考,這我不認同。因這表示爸爸媽媽可能需檢討在家中用的教材是否不足。家庭教育最重要。

看了這幾天的forum,其實父母不要太緊張啦~那麼多小朋友都沒有說話,其實大家的情況都差不多。可能學校狂逗他們說話,只想看看他們做到多少。我發覺我們in了的那些所謂happy schools (e.g. Cannan, Creative) 其實都問得好深。我想面試情況不一定反映教學情況。

其實我一㸃也不擔心,香港每年出生八九萬人,能入Ivy League/Oxbridge 的不過二三百人吧?而那二三百人不見得全部都是St Cat等出來吧?
人生發展很慢長,而且每一個BB發力㸃也不一樣,所以現在interview 只有平常心面對吧了
