標題: 放棄 Think interview [打印本頁]
作者: dogdogling 時間: 09-11-6 17:29 標題: 放棄 Think interview
我仔仔而家讀緊 Think N1，本來今日要 interview 上 K1，但因為有崇真(主流部) K1 offer 在手，所以放棄咗今日嘅 interview，但唔知點解個心硬係唔多安樂咁，怕自己做錯決定，
有無人可以幫我分析吓呀？

I don't know much about 崇真, sorry that I can't give you any advice.
But my daughter had an interview at Think (LC) today and I think it's quite good. Hope she can get the offer.
Can you share something about Think N1? Thank you.

N1升K1要 Interview?
作者: poison 時間: 09-11-7 00:57 標題: 回覆 3# dogdogling 的文章
崇真(主流部)--我也有朋友的仔女讀此間，她覺得學術方面亦算深，而且環境有小學的操場可共用，所以戶外環境很廣闊。而且有學卷。崇真還有小學部，不過現在小學的學費也不平宜。
Think朗思--著重語文，尤其英語。但沒有學卷，且學費十分貴。
但為何朗思讀N1，仍要面試K1呢？是否講明不是直上的呢？

Yes, n1 students need to take the interview also, my son just got accepted by Think for whole day class recently. (my son is in Think's N1 now)

公平起建所以讀緊N1都要IN,但就優先.樓主既然你心儀學校已收你小朋友應該開心,我今日都有去IN,我心儀果間未有消息,如果你想讀主流小學,讀唔讀THINK唔重要,除非你諗住上國際小學.

多謝各位分析，其實之所以忐忑係因為仔仔響 Think 讀得幾開心，班主任又跟得幾好，而且又學到嘢，雖然崇真係間好學校，但怕小朋友又要重新適應啫！
pollybell,
你小朋係邊組架？我仔仔係芒果組架！

我個仔係西瓜組架.呢度佢真係讀得好開心,所以如果我心儀果間收佢,我到時都好頭痛.......不過暫時無你咁好彩,題外話你老公係咪肥架??你就好瘦既??我好似認得你個仔.原帖由 dogdogling 於 09-11-7 22:08 發表

"所以如果我心儀果間收佢,我到時都好頭痛" ... same here ... Last year I also enrolled different KGs(K1) ... at the end I gave up all the offers, including a through-train KG and stayed in THINK. I felt the same as u all did i.e. very caring teachers and super happy school life! Luckily, I haven't regreted so far. Though in K1, the teachers won't call every day, they just had a more frequenet progess report. but I think it's good enough already. Afterall, can feel that the teachers have heart in teaching.
And this year, I enrolled only 1 so-called famous KG in Kln tong. I intended to let him repeat K1 as he's a super small boy. If that KG accepts him.. it;s really a headache to me!

To me, it's pretty normal to have "accent". My son's teachers are from India and Australia... and of course, they are having Indian and Australian accents.
I remember when i was in secondary school, I came across Eng teachers from different countries, having different accents too (e.g. Canadian, British, Americian, Australian, Indian etc.) In fact, it's a very good training to me :) I don't expect Pure Queen's English anyway.

同意你講法就算其他學校既外藉老師都會有自己既國家既口音,美國唔同洲份都有唔同,英國蘇格蘭人同英國人既口音都有分別,如果你用呢樣衝量所有學校既外藉老師,咁好難搵倒你心儀既學校.原帖由 twinsstar 於 09-11-9 05:18 發表

Hi twinsstar,
I am thinking of putting my daughter in Think too, but is worried that it is a "too happy" school and not academic enough for HK priary schools. I don't plan to put my daughter in International school in Primary...just DSS schools or traditional schools. What is your opinion?

Toreship,
I'm not targeting international school as well. And I plan to apply for traditional schools and DSS (not so newly established). For me, I prefer choosing KGs which do not lie on the 2 extreme ends i.e not "too pushy" and not "too happy". In fact, "happy" is ok as long as the kids are learning something. To me, THINK has wide range of activities and at the same time, good enough academic level (e.g. in lower nursery, they start recognising simple Chinese words such as "Big" "Small" etc) and I heard that her Eng would be more demanding after promoting to K2 and 3 too.
I hope i'm making a right choice also :)

I talked to some NETs at Think, but I think they're OK. As the teacher my daughter interviewed was a Chinese, I didn't know there was a NET in the interview room.
I don't mind the accents. But I heard an Indian teacher at another KG saying 'mouth' as 'mouter' and change all 'th' sound to 'ter'! Horrible! That's a big problem.

May be different people have different expectation. ... I bet you;re talking about the Indian teachers. My son's Indian teachers in THINK are very ok. They have accent of course but to me it's completely acceptable. May be because I had came across many Indian teachers in my sec sch education in the past, whose accent was far far far far more heavy.

After all, parents in HK always think that Westerners (blue eyes, golden hair, white skin 
) are more "qualified" as NETs rather than Asians / Chinese (even if they're native speakers). "Western" accents are more acceptable than "Asian" accents as well.
My friend, who is a Chinese brought up in Australia (= native speaker) said that she earned $200 less per hour as a private Eng oral tutor compared to her Australian friend, who has blue eyes, golden hair and white skin with similar work experience. We always joke that she better dye her hair, wear colour con and bleach her skin . hahaha

我諗係咪母語既分別,好多亞洲地區都係夾雜其他語言,印度都有多種語言好似中國咁,雖然識講國語但好多中國人講得都唔係太好.如果我請外藉老師都會睇英文係咪母語,除非三代都在澳洲長大已經被同化,到第三代跟本唔識自己既母語.原帖由 twinsstar 於 09-11-10 16:44 發表

May be .. but then I had a sec sch Eng teacher who's actually a French (French is her mother tongue). Her accent isnt very pure too, but she was more appealing to parents than other Asian teachers. We all agreed that she's a "NET" but in fact she;s not a native Eng speaker ...

then it also depends on what kind of accents you can really accept. May be "heavy" American / Scottish accents is still more acceptable than "slight" Indian / Singaporean accents.
THe discussion here also reveals that different people have different definition of "heavy" accent. Your very first message seemed to tell me that the accent that the teacher has is completely unacceptable. But from my interaction with those Eng teachers at my son's school, I just think the "problem" is not as serious as you said... in fact ..not a "problem" at all.
afterall ... there is no right or wrong. Just we all have different demands and expectation on our kid's English teachers

我係香港父母, 我覺得係咪net並唔係睇佢個樣係咪鬼佬金髮,最重要係口音, 我見好多菲律賓人都有菲律賓口音, 但好多都講得好好, 如我送小朋友去讀書, even 個老師有幾咁"鬼樣" 但口音嚇人, sorry, 我一定唔會比小朋友 ...

twinsstar,
which traditional schools and DSS schools are you targeting? (I am clueless on Primary schools as I did not study in HK myself, so very green on this issue) you can pm me instead if you want.
Other potential Think mamis, which schools are you guys targeting if you put your child in Think?
