作者: 中英數常 時間: 09-9-25 22:03

我覺得無用，因為在小組面試觀測時，小朋友掛住玩都唔會記得要點做

有時間自己教可以唔洗讀, 如果真係無時間自己教, 咁佢地都教哂基本禮貌, 要注意既事項等等.

umum~好同意你既講法...考個陣佢地會扮普通傾計, 小朋友就會唔係好記得

冇用...

通常家長的第一個孩子會緊張啲!!就會參加呢樣參加嗰樣...

我的大女都有參加過, 細仔冇.....今日睇返過去, 覺得真係冇用. 細仔去interview仲好過當曰大女...

留返啲錢,放假帶小朋友出外玩多啲仲好啦!!!

作者: rachncurtsmom 時間: 09-10-29 13:58

我一直不認為有用，所以無讓女兒參加面試班。經過一輪面試，覺得沒有參加面試班是正確的，因為沒有需要。

重要的是小朋友平日的基本禮貌及應對，平日習慣了，面試便不用特別擔心；反而我覺得幫小朋友養成閱讀習慣對面試及日後更有幫助。

我無報面試班，但係幼稚園有mock，原意係好，唉！最後攪到我個仔好驚答錯問題，表現出嚟無自信心，又一d童真都無，我係校長都唔收！

同意。都可能對DBS、DGS等等面試有用，因為呢啲都係面試班嘅traget schools。

但對採取group interview嘅學校效用一定不大。

yes, you are right, there are class target to SPCC, DBS or DGS.
One of my friend did attend and his son can enter 2nd interview. She told me that "class" did help.

作者: pamelaywy 時間: 09-11-2 08:57

I don't think those interview classes are useful, so I didn't take my boy to any interview classes.

I took my boy to participate in three very competitive schools for interviews. From what he described, those schools actually didn't ask some really academic questions. Most questions are very common and can be taught by parents in daily life.

This is what I can share from my son's experience:
1st in for SPCC: Playing puzzles games, reading books while waiting, asking where my son lives and how he travels from home to school

1st in for SPC: Justing playing lego and describe what he'd made, re-telling a story.

1st in for DBS: watching cartoon most of the time, ask some common questions like which school he is studying, what he likes to do. Some grouping games, some classifying games.

2nd in for SPC: really daily life questions like what he likes to do after school, what he does at school, describing about his classroom, where he goes every Sat and Sun etc.

See, from above description, I don't think the interview classes may help a lot. Or, I would say, parents can do all of them.

My son is luckily to have 2nd interview for SPC and SPCC, still waiting for DBS. That's why I don't think the interview class is a must for entering a competitive school

I have sent my girl to interview class. Frankly speaking, not as useful as I have expected. But I see she has improved in common knowledge, and she learns how to behave during an interview. Having said that, she has got only 1 2nd interview out of 3. To conclude, if parents do have time to teach the child, there is no need to join the interview class.

作者: makmak615 時間: 09-11-2 13:15

Still waiting for DBS result and I did sent my boy to 面試班. But really cannot tell the co-relation between the two.

Only 5 years old kid, even they have been taught the skill in the class, they may not be able to demonstrate in the interview.

It's all about the kid's fate. Who he/she really is, who are his/her mom and dad?

This is a good example showing that interview class may not be needed , but only if the parents have been training them.  If you haven't go much time in coaching your child, you have to very careful when you read comments here.  You need to think seriously how your children could compete with so many intelligent children.

I think interview class may be useful if parents don't have the time to do so, or have no clues how to train the children.  But even the child joins such class, parents at home still have to train them.

So you will definitely find some parents say interview class is useful becoz their children finally got  an offer from those elite schools, but some say is not useful .......

Of course, I still know some kids got offer from top schools but never join, becoz 1) they are repeating, so they're big kids, more matured and 2) their mom have put alot effort in training / coaching their behaviour, knowledge, manners etc.

So a parent should make the judgement themselves depending on their own situation, the kids' attributes, amt of time can be dedicated in training their children etc.

There isn't 1 single appropriate answer.

Why? Would you share more in details?

作者: childrenfirst 時間: 09-11-2 20:51

my kid did not go to the interview class and I don't think the class will help much. I did participate in a mock interview which i found it 99% useless. From my observation, the questions asked by the schools were not knowledge-based but very daily life. Not even 1 school asked about e.g. taxi types in hong Kong, who is the chief executive in HK, etc.

作者: monkeydog 時間: 09-11-2 20:59

To me, the most useful part is to see how my kid reacted to the interviewers/strangers in the mock interview from the DVD as we did not have any chance to see how our kid will react to a stranger in a formal interview setting, even though we can train our kid at home ourselves, but we are not strangers.

作者: lovelygal 時間: 09-11-3 11:13 標題: 回覆 6# daisy17772 的文章

Agree.

My case is I did send my girl to interview class for
1) have more interaction with other kids (especially most of the school now requires group interview)

2) i dont have time to do much research on interview format / questions (yes, i am lazy) and to practice at home

3) i believe kid performs differently in front of teacher vs parent

4) let her have a feeling of how the 'interview' would be

I just treat it as another practice opportunity, which personally i found it useful to certain extend (at least achieved my objectives listed above).

作者: siutim 時間: 09-11-3 13:03

有時係好睇小朋友性格, 如果佢本身對住陌生人都有傾有講既, 再加上你平日已經教佢既禮貌,再同佢多D睇圖書, 我覺得唔上面試班都OK, 如果小朋友好慢熱, 唔多應人

, 或者唔尊心既, 就會痳煩D!

Totally agree...exactly the purpose of the use of interview class, many parents think interview class = acceptance guarantee, but I personally treat this more like a "training"....

It's more appropriate / realistic to treat this as a training platform and an opportunity to evaluate your kid's competence level comparing with other kids. As so many kids joining interview classes, would they all be accepted by top schools? Of course not, actually most are not. But it definitely help a kid in some aspects. So adjusting your expectation is required, otherwise most parents will be disappointed.

問：請問小學為了面試, 除了音樂、體育、文藝外，您對上面試班、禮儀訓練有什麼意見?
by 謙父 (2007-05-17 13:14)
答：無謂浪費金錢，那些班不參加也罷。正常家庭自然會培養小朋友禮貌，入門叫人、保持笑容、走時說再見這些已經足夠，小學面試又不是選港姐或者超模，絕大多數也只是要求前述基本禮貌而已。同理，人家問問題要作答、不怕陌生人、口齒伶俐等平時多帶小朋友參與學習活動、群體遊戲或者落會所玩玩多見人亦足培養。那些乜鬼班搵個無厘頭鬼婆講一大堆似是而非的東西然後同小朋友玩兩玩就收你幾千銀，再唔係誇張學校要求教一大堆無用東西，又話有內幕料又乜又物製造恐慌同壓力，實際完全唔係那回事。如果你問我們的話，那些班是綽頭，有錢有時間買多幾本故事書或者帶小朋友去多點展覽會、音樂會同見人好過

一般小朋友到K3，見到陌生人都驚，唔奇，但區區一個半個面試班就可以訓練到小朋友唔驚陌生人，好似有啲跨大面試班嘅效用。

要訓練小朋友，令佢哋唔怕見陌生人，帶小朋友參加多啲唔同類型嘅活動，見多啲人，比單單淨係上面試班，效用更大啦﹗

作者: whywhywhywhy 時間: 09-11-4 23:03

同意，小朋友俾佢出多D街見多D人，參加童軍等群體生活，好快佢地就唔怕見陌生人。重有多D讚你的小朋友等佢有信心夠胆講自己的意見！！

Which interview class is better? I want to let my kid to join as I have no time/clue to train her. Anyone has suggestion?

作者: charlottechan 時間: 09-11-9 17:27

我冇比女兒上, 因為太貴了, 差不多成$300-一堂, 反而我有上網看學校通常問什麼問題. 知道d問題其實不是太深, 都是圍繞生活, 反而相信學校會比較注重小朋友的聲線, 語氣, 禮貌,而不是答案 (當然答案也不能錯得太離譜) 這些氣質要透過模仿來建立. 自己多d與小朋友自然地交談.慢慢便有進步
相信很多家長都聽過"d動靜似足佢阿爸/媽", 我這一年為了向女兒作好榜樣, 也改變了許多.例如不會衝紅燈過馬路, 買東西說謝謝, 遇見屋苑職員會打招呼, 下小巴時多謝司機叔叔.改掉小動作, 還有時刻保持正面情緒etc.
面試班可能改善答題技巧, 但不能改變價值觀.

作者: AC2002 時間: 09-11-10 00:56

I don't know whether Interview Class works for everybody, but my girl joined it and now she got Good Hope offer, 2nd in for DGJS & 2nd in for St. Paul Co-ed. Her kindergarten is not famous, can use 學券.
I think the most helpful thing I've experienced is that the Interview Class teacher helped me read through my 4-page DGJS profile and suggested good ways to improve (I would not have thought of that tricky way myself). Also, she gave me tips on interview formats and questions (after she collected the info. from parents who had interviews before my date), how to dress.
It's true that I've already spent so much money on it! I'm glad that I don't have to do it anymore.

我個人認為要睇小朋友性格.

我個女當年只考了三間小學, 一間收左, 一間有 2nd interview, 另一間wait list, 到六月都收左佢. 佢完全沒有上過任何面試班, 但性格outgoing, 好鐘意講野, 英文同普通話都ok, 又唔怕羞, 所以我冇諗過要比錢佢讀面試班.

到亞仔, 佢性格內向, 慢熱, 不善表達, 唔肯出聲講野, 所以我就比左佢上面試班. 但我比佢上既目的係搵一間私校打底. 佢大約上左四個月, 我眼見佢表達能力係提升左, 而中心亦教左一d技巧係我唔識咁教佢既. 而佢亦大謄左講野.
不過, 佢暫時仍未有學校收佢. 不過我覺得面試班既內容, 對佢來說都有幫助, 所以我不會抹殺面試班既作用, 只是他始終是慢熱內向一族, 所以面試會比較難出位.

就如見工吧, 一些人見工時好識sell 自己, 但到真係返工做野就另一回事一樣道理吧 !

作者: cottontail 時間: 09-11-10 14:16

我個囡就係屬於慢熱兼怕羞一類, 我俾佢返左差不多一年, 我覺得對佢有用, 而我覺得最大得益, 係我個囡既表達同組織能力, 佢比一年前進步得很多, 可能我同老公都唔係講故事人才, 所以個囡係尼方面既進步肯定係面試班教既, 所以對於in dgjs 同gh有一定既幫助, 至於睇書同禮貌就真係我地由細教起, 仲有參加面試班有另一個優點, 就係可以了解個囡多d, 當我個囡唔識答面試班d問題, 我先知個囡有d基本問題係唔識, 所以我認為面試班唔係全部冇用。
