which school do your kids attend?

作者: Pianokc 時間: 10-4-8 03:02

yes, I am curious too. Sounds like the problem is the school's curriculum.

I disagree very strongly that IS ' curriculum is "loose". Completely wrong description. IS' curriculum makes our kids use their brains, and train them to be independent thinkers.
Each student is an individual being with their own personality and strengths for developing, weaknesses are not "magnified" but with good teachers' nurture and school's curriculum support, in time, the student's weakness becomes less of an obstacle. Strengthens most of the time, but each at his different pace.

What you teach at home to support the school's strength and weakness is also very important for your children's success.

Just my opinion. No offense intended.

Really interested to know more coz' I also have same concerns as yeung 2212 if I send my child to intenational school. I'm afraid that those kids will be too free and they won't be aggressive when they grow up.

I couldn't sleep well yestersday as I was thinking if it was right to switch my sons to another school.
I have called some local schools such as St. Margret and CKY this morning. The staff said that all are full. I feel very upset what can I do.

My uncle is giving the private tutor to my elder son now. I have heard my uncle's tone is very angry since he has found my son (in Year 6) doesn't know how to spell the word of "April".
How come a boy studying in Year 6 with the IQ nearly 130, can't spell the word of "April". I am hiding in my room. otherwise, I will kill my son.

I think it's the school rather than IS in general.

Have you thought of switching your son to another IS? Many times, IS homework is done at school, but there is a very clear curriculum for students, teachers and parents to follow. There is no books because the books are at school, but there surely are worksheets.

You should be happy that you hv a child of such a high IQ. Ask how many native speakers who can spell 'definitely' properly? You wl be surprised most of them wl spell 'definately' instead because that is the way it sounds it.

I am curious as to which IS you are talking about. Do you mind telling us which one your son is in? May be some parents from that school might shed some light as to what exactly is happening?

I know people that are studying in the IS that have been considered second or even third choice in most BK people's eyes. But even in those schools, I would not say that a Year 6 that cannot spell April is a common case. Spelling does not require high IQ. Any "ordinary" person can be trained to spell correctly. Has you son been asked to practice his spelling? Has there been assessments at all all these years? It is just not possible that there have been no tests/assessments, no spelling quizzes, no writing tasks, no projects... If that is the case, how do they assess students? Do you get your regular mid-year or end of term report? Have you asked the school for information of the curriculum? How about other children in his class? Are they all unable to spell simple words, like "April"?

Putting a child in an IS does not mean that the parents can go totally hands-off. Parents should still be actively involved with the child's studies.

Have you talked to the class teacher and the school about your concerns? IS is very different from the local school system... But teachers are very happy to share what they teach with you and give you info about the curriculum.

I agree that parents is the biggest part of a child's education. Unfortunately, you cannot leave it up to the school, whether IS or local... some work needs to be done at home too.

To Mighty,
The world is getting more competitive. Students at IS tend (or seem) to be more care free and can't live in a tough environment. I'm not sure if they can fit into the real world when they grow up. When people say IS students love reading, but are most of them reading only story books / chapter book for leisure? Except for their good English, will it be risky to let them learn by themselves as they may end up not knowing many things about the world? I'm not sure and I keep thinking the pros and cons of IS recently. Would love to know more comments / discussion here.

Grandpro,
Your conclusion (if any) was wrong because your presumption was wrong.
Students at IS are not care free. They have lots of work to do and a lot of things are going on at school.
IS students do not learn by themselves. Even primary schools have curriculum to follow. IS students are also talking public exams: IGCSE, A-level, IBD, etc like high school students in other countries.
IS students would not end up not knowing many things......
If you want to know more about IS, read and listen to parents of IS. Do not ask for opinion of IS from 路人甲 whose kids are studying in a local school.
And FYI, Mighty does have kid(s) in international school. You might want to ask her for valid information and comments.

If you and your girl are happy with the school, I would suggest that she stay there for secondary education. Besides the long queue and slim chance to go to ESF, the most important point is that you and your girl need to reflect and must be very clear why you think change is good.

You may want to rethink, going to international school may not be any easier than staying in MCS. I went to MCS primary myself and my parents sent me to international school in HK and boarding school in england. The first 2 years of the switch was tough. Your girl would be top of the class for math and science subjects.. but would find english and project based subjects such as RS and humanities tough. There is a lot of writing.

And if she goes to an international school and end up being in ESL class and have a tough time catching up with her other subjects, then you would need to rethink. There is a lot of directed project based research and it doesn't mean Googling the title and cut and paste. She has to read, digest and rewrite it. It is also time consuming homework.

Grandpro
In yr first reply, you used the word 'agreesive', so I didnt quite understand.  Agreesive is not a positive word.

Reading is not just for good English.  It is more for imagination.  Some kids like story books and some kids like scientific bookds but it doesnt matter. Just let them read whatever they like.  No matter what you choose, there are pros and cons and I think you cant just finalise things like.. locals are like this and intl school kids are like this.  We are all different and family background pays an important part in a child's character too.

Agree. parents need to do a lot of things to bring up our children no matter which system we are in.
In any system, there is no guarantee of success but almost guarantee failure if parents do nothing.
When people are weighing pros and cons local and IS, there will never have a single conclusion.
Sending children to IS is a risky decision (as least it is true for me).

作者: tamm 時間: 10-4-9 14:34

I think parents in Hong Kong tend to measure a child's knowledge by how much words they know, what kind of math they can do, etc. However, when I look at what I am doing now, these things are least relevant in my career. Those who succeed in my profession is those who can articulate better, who can present their idea in a better way, who has better interpersonal skills, in particular those can communicate well with "gweilo"

I do not know local or int'l schools are better but feel that int'l seem to have more emphasis on those skills that are needed in the commerical world.

Strongly agree with you on reading. My children are also in international school. They all like reading very much. I never tell them what to read and they have their own choice. My older one now in high school, he has lot of assignment to do and he always has lot to write about. His English writing is very good and seldom has spelling mistake. No matter English or Mandarin or other languages, reading is too important for the kids.

作者: gardenwoods 時間: 10-4-10 13:44

I dont have much saying on reading as my son is just 4.5 yrs old...but what I can tell is he loves books a lot since studied at an IS....he used to bring along with his toys every time we go out...but now, he will only bring with his books....& after his school introduced a topic "How does the world work?" to him, he was stimulated and started to look at the weather...& he even starts to study about the tornadoes & hurricanes lately...

Problem with many parents in HK is they think going to IS school is a "second rate" choice.
Like my kid isn't smart or tough enough for local system, hence, I have to send my kid to IS !!?!?! I don't know how many times I have heard this from my friends, and even family.

WRONG concept. Totally.

IS school students (as mentioned already) are not "free" and with nothing to do. In fact, since my kids have transferred to IS system, my kids have worked HARDER and more "meaningful" assignments and homework than they had before in local system.

I finally see the "point" of their homework, and topics, and reading homework, and presentations. As opposed to before, it was purely memorization, it doesn't matter whether my kids understood or not, their job was to memorize what the teacher said. Don't ask questions.

My kids will be going abroad for university. My husband and I regret not transferring sooner. At the way my kids were taught with the local system, my kids will NEVER fit it or catch up what we learned and grew up with overseas.

At least now I don't have to worry having them in ESL classes. Their chinese is stronger than ever before. The best thing is, over the two weeks of Easter holidays: My kids asked "Mommy, WHEN do we get to go back to school ?"

They miss school so much, they are looking forward to going back to school.
Over the holidays, we had to do piles of homework, reading stories, comprehension, and chinese worksheets and reviewing for assessment when they go back to school next week.

That is NOT nothing to do.

Sorry, I am a little tired of defending why we send our children to IS and not local school. It's not because we are "failures" it's because we are smart parents ! I learned too late!

Has your son been struggling with spelling for a while? May be he is dyslexic. It is not uncommon for high IQ dyslexic child not be able to spell. You may want to read the below about dyslexia and have him assessed by professionals.

Yes, this statement looks a bit too strong. I'm one of the parents who can afford IS. However I'm still struggling whether to send my kid to a local school instead, the reason being that I'm very much concerned about the Chinese language competence of my kid. In fact, from my experience, learning Chinese is more difficult than English - that's why I hesitate.

The ability of reading and writing Chinese, as well as speaking Mandarin, seems to be a must in the commercial world of Hong Kong nowadays. I don't think I'm being stupid or ignorant.

Dear Curious Parents,
Simply search "yeung 2122" in BK forum you will find the answer.
Whether it is the fault of the school or the fault of the parents/children or the fault of the society (or my fault?), please make your own judgment.
Before making any conclusion, don't forget to go through the histories.

作者: almom 時間: 10-4-14 14:51

yeung2212,
According to your other topics/messages, I think your children are in RC. (Thanks, oooray for telling us how to search for old messages.)
What you said is in fact totally different from what actually happen at school.
I am surprised you said that there are no or few homework. Year 6 students are very busy. Since the beginning of the school year, they are assigned quite some homework every Monday and they are expected to hand them in on Friday.
I am also quite surprised your child can hardly spell "April" when my child and a lot others are already doing lots of much harder spelling. From how you describe your child's ability, it appears that he is probably quite below the norm of the whole Year 6.
And they have already written many tests/assessments. Some of the scores of the tests have been shown to parents during the 3-way conference. Most other tests results were given to parents to sign.
At this moment, the Year 6 are busy with doing their exhibition (ie the end of primary project), which is a huge task and will be due/presented late May.
These are only some of what has been going on in school with the Year 6. I know that other lower grades are also busy with different tasks.
Now, if you are not aware of any of what I said above, do not waste any more time. Call the school and arrange for a meeting with your child's teacher. There is definitely something wrong.
Obviously a lot of the information, documents, etc has not been passed on to you.

Even though my daughter is no longer studying in RC, we still keep in touch with her friends.

You know what, those parents complained a bit that RC provides them too much homework/dictation on Chinese and some unexpected difficult reports/journals on other subjects.  The wonderful thing is their princesses enjoy so much to write and do the reports.

Undoubtedly, the standard of students in a school may vary a lot.  It really depends how family supports and guides the children.

Like her friends, all in Year 3 now, they can write 4-5 pages of story easily.  Certainly it is consisted of grammer and spelling mistakes.  Roughly speaking, the progress is quite satisfactory.

最近我看了一本关于教育儿童的书，当中提到我们作家长的要审慎看待智力测验，莫让这些测验耽误孩子的发展。它说几乎这些测验都是针对语言和逻辑能力而设计的，实际无法测出创造力、想象力、直觉力、人际关系力等等孩子的潜在能力。我想你最好多观察你孩子的能力吧。

我有一个外甥，他的智商跟你孩子差不多，可惜他有阅读障碍，总是串不了字，学术科一直强差人意，但音乐、画画和visaul arts就明显特出。

我猜你孩子不是有什么障碍的话，你可以试一试改教学方法和鼓励他多看书，不管什么书（当然是正经的书啦！），爱看就行了。

我女儿都是读国际学校的。头几年我的感觉跟你现在的一样，都不知她学会了什么。有一样我可以肯定的，就是她自动自觉地找书看，到了现在八年级，她写英文的速度很快。当然，家里的教育和鼓励不可少。另外，就是多与学校或其它家长沟通，才能了解我们孩子的需要。

如果你孩子在学校只说广东话，你可以鼓励他说：“妈妈要你读国际学校，想你多讲英文，所以如有同学跟你说广东话，不管怎么样，你还是用英文与他们谈话吧。”

yeung2212,

I have just read the website of RC.

Did you notice the annoucment about year 13 final exam, year 12 trial exam, year 7-11 myp exam in May?

Do you check your kids' learning diary daily as the teacher's request?

Do you read the bulletin of inquiry regularly? I have just read the content. In March and April, the topic is about "waste". The content of bulletin is very comprehensive. It states clearly how the parents can support their children's learning.

Have you talked to his class teacher, teacher assistant or Mr. Muller?

Have you tried to attend coffee morning?

I think resources/facilities/professionals all are here and see if you know how to fully utilize it.

I observe that my daughter's previous RC classmates prefer speaking English rather than cantonese when we were out for a short trip during Easter break.

I am a RC parent and am no fans of the school. As a relatively new school, it is not without its problems and things can be messy at times. However, it is exactly their curriculum that I like best. Kids do seem to acquire a good amount of knowledge even without textbooks or exams. And to one who was brought up in a traditional local school and good only at copying and memorizing like myself, their homework is not easy at all. It
requires students to research, understand, digest and rewrite using their own words.

And it is amazing how int'l schools help children develop this love of reading. There is really no need to worry too much about their English. As they continue to read and read, their English will gradually improve. I also notice in the campus that kids in upper forms do converse primarily in English, and fluently so. My younger child in year 1 came from a local kinder and at the start of the term, his teacher told us that he needed to catch up on his English. And now he is making very good progress in both speaking and reading.

In fact, what I am concerned about is not their academic level. No matter how much some parents want to deny it, discipline in the school is loose. It takes me no small effort telling my sons what proper behaviour is. A fellow parent has once told me that things will get better as the kids grow older. I do hope it is so.

Hahaha, I agree. My girls also go to Montessori school. Hard to know what they learn but they seem to know some practical life skills already (e.g. put on shoes and socks, etc).The school report is only so so and seems that my 2 girls have identical reports though I'm sure one is better in practical life than the other (I can't even button her own clothes yet!). I think the teachers were confused my 2 girls' progress (and they don't even look alike)!

Awah112, may I know what class your kids are in? Will you let them continue?

作者: zhangbaba 時間: 10-4-19 11:01

We also like the Montessori philosophy very much. My daughter learn how to take care herself independently, eg. go to toilet by herself in early age and how to enjoy herself in a group of diversity peers. I think Montessori is teaching the kids on the way of learning, not much on what are really learn. When they can know the way of learning, they can acquire the skills and knowledge whenever they wants. So far, we are satisfied on her performance in the school.

係外國讀完 montessori pre-school 上小學應該問題不大。因為一般外國的小學都認受montessori。不過香港的montessori pre-school都是國際學校，讀完kindergarten就只有上國際小學了。

原來係 RC. RC 點會冇功課, 冇測驗? 樓主真係要主動 D 留意孩子的學習情形囉.
小朋友唔睇唔得架, 唔係話讀國際學校就可以放晒手乜都唔理. 讀左幾年, 都冇功課冇測驗, 你唔會覺得唔妥咩? 如果係我, 唔駛半年就要搵老 ...

好正確

我囡囡而家讀緊year one，其實喺平時同佢傾講，大約都知佢學緊乜嘢／學咗乜嘢，加埋學校每星期都有updates，做父母嘅要主動及多加留意，自然會清楚子女的學習情況／程度．

Do the real high achievers ever need to be micro-managed by their parents?

最令我喜歡montessori教育的原因，是它能夠令小孩獨立及自發性去做事，不是每樣事情也又父母或別人安排。可是香港的montessori教育仍在起步階段呢。

我認為montessori教育方式已經令大仔養成良好的學習習慣,這一點很重要。上小學相信佢可以"自動波",不用我太擔心。

Hi Mighty
I feel better after your kind advice.
I am using the positive attitude to my son.

Therefore, I am still hiding in my room as I don't
want he knows my sad thnking.

Don't you worry, I went to International School (HKIS in South Bay Close & Tai Tam) then boarding school all through my entire education. There are tons of words that I cannot spell correctly.
However, not speaking/using English to communicate at school is not too good. Perhaps you can change to another International School?
