yes, quite agree. Actually, I didnt go to the parents' day on 31 of July, and just heard from my H that she is a spainish. Later in the first day of school, I am sorry but I was disappointed that she looks like Chinese, although I think that her english pronunciation is still ok.

But i felt that she is a "fresh" teacher, and maynot have much teaching experience.

Anyway, I think the most important thing is whether the teacher can raise the interst of learning and speaking english of the kids!!

各家長:

我是初讀N班家長,我發現教英文科的Miss Jorell,不是NET(Native English Teacher),我問班主任,她說是西班牙及日本混血兒,外表是中國人樣子但說英文,我曾與她對話,真的是香港人講英文

她不是唔夠學歷和經驗, ...

唔係卦...

我以為學校專科專教老師全部都有資格兼有經驗...

assistants冇經驗可以接受，但英文老師缺乏經驗真係唔係幾好喎！

Ms. Puja同Ms. Bernie令人放心好多，同讀一間學校，點解某幾班要接受較差的教學質素？

I am considering to apply this KG, please help to give me more details. Thank you!

一個人要用以下更高的層次去想事情,繼而去賭博一次,結果我成功了:

1. 新學校學術更好,注重phonics,仲用英文教數學;
2. 有純正英語外籍老師及純正普通話老師做班主任,有語言環境;
3. 兩位班主任照顧18位學生;
4. 學 ...

I think all the NET are very good and professional. I suggest you to talk to them and judge by yourself, rather than listening to a minority of the parents here.

So there is no NET from England or USA ?

作者: helenli 時間: 10-10-8 22:48

We all know that three K2 students quitted SN because they were not happy with the new NET, who is a young spanish-japanese mixed lady. but she is qualified in early education, nice and enthusiatic at teaching, and most important, most SN parents and children like her very much. I think we should not judge a teacher by her appearance and nationality. This is not fair and do no good to our children.
for those who have quitted SN, I hope your children a good future and enjoy the new school life. please leave we SN parents a peaceful environment to discuss. thank you.

agree with helenli! my son loves her very much! i don't see any problem with a japanese/spanish teacher teaching english. even in other more famous kg or international schools, there're many teachers from different countries with different accents. if u're looking for pure english from UK/US, then SN may not be ur choice. but if u're looking for a happy, caring and warm environment for ur child, i think SN is good choice. so it really depends on what u're looking for. i think parents should understand more about the kg before applying/enrolling the school. it will save more misunderstandings and unneccessary arguements.

Hi Moominfloren/helenli and other SN parents, can you share what's the good points of SN? and how about the Mandarin & Chinese level? Also, is there any weaknesses for SN? I really want to gather more information before decide which KG to choose. Thanks!

I posted some sharings about SN under another discussion topic already ... In fact, that post is actually my first post wrote in the SN board.

Why? I saw a few topics in the SN board recently, commenting about the school & teachers etc ... Thus, as the parent of an SN alumni, I just want to share with you on what I feel & what my son had experienced over the last few years in SN.

A couple few more points here about choosing schools for kids:

1) Every school has it's own characteristics, strengths and of course weaknesses as well. One should understand it thru different means first.

For example, when I work on choosing primary school for my son, I even make "site visit" to my desired school at a good time (for example, when student finish the day and leave the school) and observe. And I will also look for opportunity to speak to some parents directly and get their comments about the school.

2) After knowing the school, you will have to ask yourself on what would you like your kids to get from the school. This is important -- Different parents have different expectations on their kids.

For example, my boy is pretty active. He likes to talk and express himself in classes. He likes to get motivation and rewards to learn (rather than being pushed and punished, if he is not doing right). He doesn't like to be bound by those very strict classroom type rules, setting and environment.

With that, I know some of the so called good KGs in Kowloon Tong like to train kids becoming absolutely obedient to teachers in classes. To me, I know pretty clear that this can't fit my son because he will definitely be very unhappy to schooling there.

In short, for KG education, my expectations are:

1) Kids should always be happy to go school -- This is the fundamental basic. If he is not happy and always don't find the place interesting, then how can he manage to interact with people and also learn stuffs there!!

2) School must give opportunities and exposure to the kids to learn things in different areas and aspects. Depth is not the really the key at the KG stage, but width is a must. Thus, I am not very concerning about whether the English teacher's accent isn't very accurate or native. As long as she is responsible and be caring & patient enough to teach kids, plus she can find ways to arouse kids' interesting in learning the subject, then that's already good enough.

3) Learning in a happy environment can definitely allow kids to develop their potentials & talents.
Once the potentials are identified, then communicate to the school and see how school + family can work together in supporting & developing the talents. And in some cases, if school can't really support (due to resources or other adminstrative constraints), then as parents, we can always look for supplements & even alternatives to bridge the gap.

Quitting the school can be one of the alternatives, but I probably will not let my son quit the school, just simply because of the English teachers' accent. I might consider letting my son quit & change school, only if he is always unhappy to go school.

But again, it's really up to individual's values, choice and expectation to determine.

Anyway, I am lucky enough that my son is in a pretty good primary school now in Kowloon Tong. I use the word "lucky" because to some extent, it's really the truth.

Think about it -- For good primary school, there are always over 2000 applications received, but with only 100+ seats offered each yr. And parents nowadays all know well on how to "upgrading" & "selling" their kids to the school.

So, apart from good preparations, luck is really there. In fact, more and more schools now cares more about the kid's interview performance rather than simply looking at school report cards, reference letters and profile.

If your kid is a keen & enthuastic learner, then the chance of getting into a good primary will definitely be higher.

Hope my sharing helps!! Anyway, wish you all good luck and enjoy the few years KG honeymoon with your kids!!

Primary life will be totally different ...

Yes, this is very important.

Like my son's primary school, they invite parents to mark and give comments to the class works done by the kids. And they also ask parents to write expectations on what areas they would like to see their kids to improve.

So, keep a good communication and cooperation with the school is really necessary.

And on the other hand, don't fully shift the responsibililties and rely on the school to teach your kids.

Even the school has great teachers and great course content to deliver, we have to understand that there are at least 15 to 20 students in each class and they are coming from different background. It's really difficult sometimes for teachers to take care each of their individual study needs in a fair and quality manner.

However, each qualified teachers should have enough experience to identify and classify the goods and bads of your kids.

Try to understand more about your kids from the school / teachers and then find ways working together (or in some cases, you have to work on your own in getting supplements outside) to support and help them to grow is really the key.
