你們有無發覺間學校愈來愈亂, 前幾日我先去左個仔既運動會, 發覺亂到一塌糊塗,都唔知個校長點搞既,咁都得既,唔知學生既成績點呢? 我個仔今年好似無功課拎番屋企做，家長日老師全部都話好，但我地發覺阿仔既成績表四年改左三次，都唔知根據甚麼準則？你地有冇意見呀?

Dear Carna,
I've decided to let my boy to study in VSA P1 on coming Sep, I am very glad to see your comments here; as there is quite a bite of time that no current parents has comment in BK, and I really want to have more understanding about this school.
Can you please tell what year is your boy now? Is it possible to talk to you directly?
Thank you in advance for your valuable info.

No homework? I was told that everyday has the school e-homework for Chinese, English and Math.
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-4-28 23:51
It is not e-homework is eclassroom所寫功課不是日日有,好似中文每曰做一個四字成語,造句同解譯.English就一至兩星期先做3個Spelling activities .Math重差有時做2 chapter ,有時一個月一次都冇.中默好D一個月都有2次<默十個四字成語>英文有幾個月冇默,以上係 Year 6 呀!!!!

ANNIEYY,
有同感, 轉左新校長之後差左好多. 新成績表簡直不知所謂. 我個仔9月都會轉出面中學. 但細果件都唔知點算, 以佢依加既level, 跟本考唔到出面既好學校. 留係度又學唔到嘢咁. 但學費又係咁加.

吾洗擔心用多小小時間做預備一定轉到,我個仔補習老師講有好多家長想轉,但接受吾到個小朋友入Band2,Band3既學校,所以繼續讀但其實早D轉早D比個小朋友知道乜野叫做讀書,吾係曰日返去玩求學係求分數,我個仔成日話老師講求學不是求分數,我叫佢問老師自己有冇分?冇分做到老師嗎?我個人覺得比小朋友讀得VAS既家長都吾係要求太高(不停有測驗默書考試),但現在係冇乜都冇最後學到乜冇囉!!!!
作者: ktpleung 時間: 11-5-24 10:10
我是YEAR 3 的家長, 3年來都唔知學到乜? 就如 YEAR 3, 整個學期到現在中文默書不到十次, 每次八個詞語, 這兩次多一句句字咁大把, 話時話這個多月好似都冇默了, 數學仲差, 上學期先背乘數表, 整個學期未見個做數學功課, 亞女話 816 除 8 用一堂來解釋, 老師話好難喎, 英文成日剪貼D超簡單D生字, 浪費時間. 這只是一間高級托兒所, 明年要 HKD 8,436 / 每月, 但是值唔值呢 ?
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-24 12:01
形容得好好高級托兒所,值吾值$8436有D轉校家長會覺得值囉!!!因為六星級校舍,多西洋人老師,有保安,多校工,服務好,我相信香港揾吾到第二間.都係個句有小朋友讀得好好不過三兩個,如果低年班小朋友都係早早轉校吧!!!
作者: ktpleung 時間: 11-5-24 14:28
一定轉, 只是星級校舍又有何用??? 小朋友已經不知道讀書的責任了, 連中文默書八個生字都唔讀, 話返學睇其他同學就得, 老師唔會鬧, 話下次唔好就得! 老師講唔得閒可以唔默書, 唔做功課都得, 家長 EMAIL 比佢知道就可以了??
仲離譄, YEAR 3, 已在學校講粗口 "XX老XXX" 唔衰唔講, 5月18日我到學校Learning Journey , 見到D同學很冇禮,冇品, 有家長在都大大聲聲冇禮同其也同學講嘢, 何況冇家長呢?
冇學識都算, 只怪自己當時貪一條龍, 唔洗煩, 由PN讀到現在, 我唔想我的小朋友連品德都沒有!!
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-24 22:55
上年老師最過份係默完書見到多人吾識,叫小朋友C左嗰頁過兩曰再默過,吾係默一課書呀!係8個四字成語炸!!!!Year5死未 維多利亞幼稚園係做得好好,冇想到小學會差到甘,中學又係好多嘢冇教,我分別有兩個朋友個仔同個女,前年讀完S3,S4之後去左英國,完全係乜都吾識話好多嘢VSA都冇教過,最後一有假就返香港揾人不停補左一年先叫做好D.之前係VSA係好成績IB有42分,另一個直到讀吾到 IB School,所以佢地都話VSA比既成績信吾過,叫我千奇吾好比個仔讀中學,吾洗錢都吾好讀,所以出年留位費我都冇比下定决心轉校派到邊間中學就讀,Band2,Band3都好過VSA,希望入到一間吾太差從頭再來

今年YEAR6係最後一年參加中一派位, 之後都要自己去考中學. 咁既成績, 唔焗住直升MYP都唔得.
我又冇聽過老師叫小朋友C左嗰頁過兩曰再默過. 係YEAR6既老師? 
VSA比較適合一些主動學習和自律既小朋友. 否則都好難會學到嘢. 而且要睇下好唔好彩跟到好老師. 有部份老師係好嚴格和要求高既, 小朋友就學到嘢喇

去年Year5老師,同意老師非常重要,最慘我個仔都好似冇跟過好老師,
作者: ktpleung 時間: 11-5-25 00:59
默書事件太誇張了!!
但我三年都未見過好老師, 英文功課全部是RAZ-KID, 讀完再讀, 今個星期又讀YEAR 1 那些, 數學又做MATHLETICS, 上次功課做周界, 梯形只得三條邊長, 相信初中先識得計, 用INTERNET 的功課都算, 起碼自己檢查一下可用嗎?
成績表要改都唔出奇, 因此, 我小朋友那份都有其他同學的成續表啦, 你話學校的行政多好??
因為再唔走人, 一定要讀中學, BAND 2 OR BAND 3 都要走, 超失望
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-25 01:48
越講越傷心覺得自己帶個仔行錯路,最初入學簡介會話小一到小三冇考試測驗小功課,係為左小朋友開心返學自然學到嘢!小四先開始加考試測驗都未遲,學費就可能會加小小因為租人地方,不過深灣校舍起好搬入去就吾洗加因為自己地方,到頭來越讀越小中文冇書,math人地4本佢用2本,英文吾知教乜,有樣加就學費囉!!!!
作者: ktpleung 時間: 11-5-25 09:44
我初時都以為維多利亞幼稚園做得好好, 但眼見大的是這樣, 細的立即轉考其他幼稚園, 因為有學券又要小一大抽獎, 冇又要抽, 但相比之下, 原來維記也是一般, 細的分得很清楚星期幾要做什麼功課, 學校定期派發教學主題, 老師校長超有愛心...., 維記那些, 如果你稍後特出就好D, 我記得大那件, 如果你朗誦好, DANCE 好, 就會叫你去表演, 比賽, 次次學校表演排頭位, 其他 D 一定最後, 細那間就不會了, 排舞時個個有機會, 應比每個小朋友相同的參予!! K2 的知識都比 YEAR 3 學 UOI 好, 又有何用??
講返 YEAR 3 啦, 其實我在學校也聽 D 家長話不滿, 不過她們不會投訴, 有個家長提出叫其他家長聯署致函校長採用內地中文課本, 該名家長反比學校投訴 ( 因為現在自行編寫的中文課本太差了 ), 我又聽到其他家長說, DAY 1 你哋入維記就知道是什麼學校, 你哋都是想小朋友開心, 一早就要預咗 D 嘢要自己跟, 所以現在也自己跟, 工也不做了, 返屋企温書, 不過是比他考其他小學, 由下學期已開始備準, 現在稍為好 DD !! 不過, 講真其他小學見到維記的成績表都唔想收!! 真是金玉其外, 敗絮其中!! 9月 P1 的家長真的要考慮清楚, 放棄留位費同2個按金也值得!!
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-25 11:29
其實初頭都OK小四都有測驗考試,成績表都有分數睇吓,但中文就好淺英文就只係講同聽Grammar完全吾識,math都正常,所以我個仔小四下學期開始補Grammar,小五開始就死啦每況愈下再補Math,小五學期尾曾經想轉滬江小學揾朋友比左個仔D成績(每年都考Trinity同Cambridge)女校長,心想同會滬江希望有D机會讀小六,女校長好好人話佢好清楚VSA太自由啦!每日返學太開心自由自在左五年衣家一吓止要個小朋友改變哂佢會好慘,學習方面英文當然無容置疑一定好,但係中文就會跟吾上,而math又係中數,佢比左兩個建意我,1 重讀小五等小朋友慢慢學習適應,2 係VSA讀完小六再轉中學用一年時間做準備,因為佢話個仔都有11,12歲都有自己思想講清楚轉校原因,做好心理預備學好D中文,一定好過突然轉個不同環境領個仔難以適應,最後我用第2個由個陣開始補中文,現在一至五每曰都揾老師上門補中英數,由其今年math教得真係好慢只係出面4成左右一半都冇,如果VSA做返好DD就吾洗甘啦!!!!錢洗左都算!時間同學習態度先慘!!!
作者: ktpleung 時間: 11-5-25 12:18
時間真是很重要, 現在根本覺得返學是浪費時間, 不如在家中做下 EXERCISE, 仲要做埋 D 一個星期才比一份 D 無謂功課!! 現在等攞張不知所謂的成績表就走人!!
不單學費貴, 補習費仲貴!!
慘!!

身同感受 .就算個小朋友自律加主動都死,因為身邊同學玩得太勁,耳濡目染好都變差我見吾少,玩IPhone Facebook上網打机,放學入門口玩到12点1点,當然夜晚啦!!!我好清楚因為我成日上個仔個Facebook睇,返而就定左個仔一星期玩1次每次45分鐘,小朋友係Facebook乜都講粗口小兒科,邊個like邊個,有次講打飛机問有冇人試過,我馬上叫個仔問係邊個是否同班,以我所知有好多家長都好忙冇乜時間理個小朋友,就好似我個仔中文同math兩個老師,都分別有吾同年級VSA學生,但補習老師D功課成曰都冇做同家長講左都吾做,老師話都吾知補黎做 乜!!!

細果個我唸住暑假先同佢揾老師. 可以PM d資料比我嗎?
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-26 10:10
我都要返工重係不定時工作,所以電腦同電視都加左密碼,如果我真係好夜先返就叫個工人開比佢做,不過我一定返記錄有冇上其它網,當個小朋友習憤左冇得玩會好D,PSP都冇,成日都有同學打电話叫佢上網玩,做晒我所有功課一星期都有一小時玩,加Facebook就有二次玩,可以接受,大至上一至五都冇開電視我同老公都冇,都成年啦!

突然覺得如果VSA吾係行 IB 可能會好好,以前係一間英文私立小學成績又好派位都不太差,老師可能都好慘間學校年年變做法不一,全統直資名校高年級DP先行IB課程真係明智,我覺得大部份小學生跟本吾明白乜野係探究,敢於冒險,有原則,有自信,反思,但係所謂IB就成日講依類間題,一至六年級都講好似小學生讀大學間題一頭霧水
作者: hoboy 時間: 11-5-28 22:30
其實係學校方向問題, 6年轉左2個校長, 年年變做法不一,愈轉愈衰. 之前中文和數學跟香港教科書不知幾好, 攪攪下中文自己出書, 數學又冇text book, 果本Maths Journal 我平日都冇機會見到, 想跟都冇得跟.
PYP 都可以行得好好, 睇下你點行既姐. 老師點教都好重要. 比起其他學校, VSA既小朋友係比較有探究精神, 自學能力係好d, 唸嘢係叻d. 希望VSA可以行返一條好d既路啦....
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-5-29 15:48

為什麼冇機會轉校(P6)? 有冇諗過或可唔可以轉去IS，須然之前我冇接受 VSA 個 offer，但而家聽到學校攪成咁，我都覺得好傷心，畢竟我兩位小朋友在維幼渡過了幾年快樂時光。
作者: khashley 時間: 11-6-2 21:39
My daughter is K2 student in Vic and she just got an offer from VSA, after I read those comments, I m a bit scare.
I know the aim of IB is not train up a robot for exam, but how come there is a big difference between the reality and my expectation. I m so surprised that P3 student learning division! It should be P1 or P2 standard.
Also there is No dictation, No test and No homework???? What is the school aim?????
No exercise can train up the skill??
If so, I guess The principal can only present an imagination picture to the parents only.
作者: khashley 時間: 11-6-2 21:39
I m still thinking picking up the offer or not
作者: ANNIEYY 時間: 11-6-3 09:50
毫無疑問維幼真係做到開心上學而又學到知識,VSA完全兩回事可能十年八年後會做得好,Year1,2都可能未發覺吾好,Year3,4就開始會間点解?Year5就開始覺得要轉,我估有一半以上家長會有這感覺,只不過吾係話轉就轉得到,想清楚知道入嚟讀過就知........好後悔

作者: slamai 時間: 11-6-3 19:26
I am usually a silent reader of this forum. However, with children now studying in the primary and secondary (both MYP and DP) programmes of this school, I want to share some of my thoughts here.
While there is no perfect school for everyone, it is very much a matter of finding a 'perfect' match between the student and the school concerned. The elimination of examinations from the primary school is to follow the PYP requirements of IBO. If any primary parents of VSA have attended the briefing conducted by the Principal early last year, they should know about it. It is not the objective of IB PYP to feed the child with as much information as s/he can digest. The whole philosophy of IB is to educate (I purposely avoid using the word 'teach') the child how to learn and develop his/her mind to think critically. The brain is undergoing development even beyond adolescence stage. Boosting the knowledge of the child by feeding him/her information as much as possible may be able to harvest quick results but whether this can sustain is highly questionable with due consideration in respect of the development of the child's mind in this process as compared with enquiry-based learning which takes up more time and sometimes goes through a seemingly chaotic process if not properly guided. Bearing in mind the knowledge acquired in the primary years is comparatively little and can be easily made up for in the early secondary years, parents should not be overly worried about the absence of examination in the primary school of VSA which is in fact quite common among the international schools, like ESF. Although there is no examination, the students have taken the international ISA test as an assessment of their achievements. A briefing will be given by the primary school next week to explain the results recently obtained. As parents, we can, and need to, monitor our children's progress, e.g. what level of books they are reading, what mathematical problems they can answer and what level of their writing skills is, etc. by keeping track of their homework and what they are reading, etc. I also observe there are variations in the level of homework between different classes of the same year. Given that the school have guidelines and policy to govern it, uniformity is not necessary though parents do need to check against any irregularities and reflect the same to the head of year and/or other senior member(s) of the school as required.
Of course, there are many discrepancies in VSA and it doesn't have any track record as well. You need to have a lot of faith in this school to put your child(ren) in it. It will not suit everyone, nor it needs to. It is a school which faithfully follows the IB philosophy (re: the MYP programme has received a lot of praise from the IBO visiting team recently who compared the school to the top ranking MYP schools in the region). VSA should be distinguished from local schools which need to harvest quickly to prepare their P6 students for competing a place in their dream secondary school. With a through-train policy from primary to secondary, VSA parents need not be too concerned with the seemingly slow harvesting scenario their children are facing in the primary school and can afford to let them have more time to read (with enjoyment) and to spend with other family members before they concentrate in their study from secondary years onwards.
作者: cherubic 時間: 11-6-3 22:13
Thanks for your detailed answer. I don't know the situation above Y4, but I always keep track of what is going on in my son's class. Like most of you, I am a working mom, so I communicate with the teachers by emails. I also buy some supplementary exercise (English, Chinese and Maths) and check if my son knows how to do it. Hope he will meet another pair of good teachers next year.

１．如果接受到讀 VSA 後要自己再比$同時間再教小朋友中英數，可以繼續留在VSA!!
２．如果一直讀到中學又唔介意學校年年加學費，可以繼續留在VSA!!（如果有這樣的資源，不如讀ＩＳ）
３．如果一直不與其他朋友或其他小朋友比較學到什麼，慢過人多少，可以繼續留在VSA!!
４．如果打算一定要出國讀書，可以繼續留在VSA!!
但我接受不到，面對自己的表妹的女讀Ｐ１，學Ｄ嘢仲多個自己那個Ｙ３，仲要比很多＄，真是接受不到！！
以上是個人意見！！

作者: slamai 時間: 11-6-7 21:26
My intention has always been to give a more balanced view because the above posts are mostly pointing out the discrepancies of VSA by some parents from their personal views though I think, with due respect, are not totally familiar with the philosophy of IBO. I would consider that I was explaining the rationale of IB education rather than defending VSA. It is true that VSA Y6 students will not be able to participate in the Central Allocation of secondary places as the school is no longer joining the SSPA. However, speculating that it is because the school does not want its students to leave the school is another matter. The change was in fact triggered nearly two years ago by the IBO PYP visiting team who asked the primary school to abolish examinations, thus disqualifying the school from joining the SSPA. In fact, none of the other IB PYP World Schools in Hong Kong join the SSPA.
I always respect others to give their personal views while I would give my own views to let everyone have a more balanced picture.
I remember once a primary parent gave a view at a briefing session on Chinese teaching at VSA that the school should consider switching back to use Cantonese in teaching Chinese. This parent should probably have better put her child in a school following the local curriculum instead if that is what she actually has intended for her child.

slamai,
問題唔係有冇考試. 其實早幾年, 我既唸法同你一樣, 我之前其他forum既post都係support VSA既. 我有兩個小朋友都係讀VSA, 唔知係我細既小朋友資質差, 定係其他原因. 比起大果個, 學習技巧, 甚至學習態度, 都差好多. 語文基礎對IB黎講係好重要, 打唔穩, 到左中學就會好麻煩. 我本身唔係一個要求高既家長, 亦唔會把VSA同local school 學到幾多黎比較, 但都開始膽心. 我記得校長曾經講過, VSA係no pressure, happy school life, but HIGH STANDARD. no pressure 同 happy school life 一向都係. 但HIGH STANDARD, 我暫時未見到. 希望VSA有一日可以做到啦.

其實要睇下小朋友既性格同埋自己既要求, 先可以下決定.
如果經濟能力負擔到年年加10% 學費, 平日再幫小朋友補下, 又唔會到左中學想轉local school. 係值得試既. 小朋友真係返學返得好開心既, 完全冇嘢學就一定唔會. 如果覺得唔適合, P1/P2都可以轉返出去. 未試過真係唔知適唔合適小朋友. 有d真係會讀得好好既. 唔好因為呢度少少既comment而影響自己既決定. 呢d純粹個人意見:)

Frankly Speaking, I concern the outcome only, invest such an amount and wait for the unknown outcome, it is a very very big problem.
Of coz, I wanna my daughter study with NOT MUCH pressure, that's y i apply for the school. But maybe Singapore int'l school seems much better than VSA

今日收到書單. 學校終於都用番啟思做中文教科書, 數學書都用番Longman 
作者: carna 時間: 11-6-9 00:43
我個仔經過一年半的補習, 依加中文同數學都已經回復到一般小五的程度啦, 如果連一般的程度或基礎都無, 點樣可以有批判性思考呢?, 我相信探究能力和思考能力是建基於已有的知識基礎上突破而成的．在沒有基礎的情況下思考，只是天馬行空，內容也是空洞而無意思的．
學好中文，正如現在很多大學教授，中學教師和文學家都認為適量的背誦古文是非常重要的，因為這些是文化的精萃所在，而小學生的時候是吸收力最強的時候，適量的背誦一些古典文學如詩詞到他們讀到中學甚至大學時是很有用的，正如外國的學校學習文學也是要背誦著名詩人如莎士比亞等的詩句的．文學的基礎便是這樣打出來的，一篇好的文章若能在適當的地方引用幾句詩句，便會起畫龍點睛的效果，使文章生色不少，如果吾係，即使寫上幾頁紙也沒有那麼好的效果．
數學方面，在外國，高中的數學是分開basic, standard and advanced level的，學生是根據能力入讀這三個level的，basic for高中畢業，standardfor apply college, 只有advanced才可以入大學. 所有香港過去讀書的學生對advanced
level都能應付自如，而外國學生能選讀advanced
level的只有２至３成，由此可見數學還是中國人的教法好．
回想當年我地幫個仔選擇入VSA而不入IS,是因為希望VSA的英文水平比local school好，中文水平比IS高，加上當時的校長是一位數學專家，這真是我們夢未以求的學校，我地連這是一間ＩＢ學校都忘記了，只知道是一間好學校，我個仔返學除左好開心，好鍾意返學，仲學到好多野，家長又吾使找補習，省返吾少錢，無論昇本地中學大學或國際學校都無問題，點同依家錢使多佐好多錢，但卻兩頭不到岸，你地話係咪好慘呀！

VSA develops its own (traditional) Chinese textbooks based on (or simplified from) those used in Shanghai for IB PYP programme upto Y3. The use of local Chinese textbooks starts from Y4. As a corollary, it is a good move for VSA to shorten PYP to 5 years and lengthen MYP to 5 years to get the students better prepared for their DP programme. For those parents who are not too familiar with the secondary programmes of IB, there are definitely summative assessments (i.e. tests/examinations) in MYP and DP (the final examination is an external/public one) though primarily formative assessments are adopted in PYP. I agree that memorising the multiplication table is necessary in learning mathematics. Other than that, genuine language proficiency and knowledge come from extensive reading and nothing else can suffice. ESF primary schools don't have textbooks but many students have cultivated a habit of reading (a.k.a. bookworms) and become strong readers when they graduate.

絕對同意 "未學行，先學走" 既方法係唔 work。相信 VSA 本身 expect 家長在家教小朋友 "學行" (基礎知識)，在校老師則教小朋友 "學走" (探究思考)，所以 VSA 喜歡收有 "全職媽咪" 照顧教導既小朋友。
VSA 小朋友要讀得好，課餘補習 (either 媽咪教 or 補習老師教) 似乎在所難免，但問題係若有部份學生有補習，部份學生沒有補習，程度唔同，老師又會否為遷就程度較低的學生在校只教一些淺易的基礎知識呢？
希望 VSA 可以越做越好。

就以數學為例, 初初係用Longman text book 和 workbook.
跟住第二年只係用workbook, 呢個我覺得OK, 因為教數學唔一定跟書教, 小朋友做workbook 時都會知佢識唔識, 明唔明.
之後果年就冇晒text book和workbook, 得一本叫Maths Journal 既校簿. 上面寫既係記錄多, 好少攞返屋企, 睇完本Maths Journal 都唔知佢學左幾多嘢, 老師又唔改.
跟住仲衰, 冇數學堂, 將數學溶入POI.
最後又倒退番去Maths Journal
下年又再倒退番去用Longman workbook.

Hi,
I want to know how common or not common for VSA primary students starting from P1 to P6 change out to other schools including both (local/international)
If I choose VSA primary as a backup to make sure my children can learn good English and Mandarin and then change out to other local schools in P2 or P3, is it possible or I am just too naive?
Can I say that 出路 for P6 is VSA secondary and 出路for VSA secondary school will be schools outside Hong Kong? Thanks

I learnt the results of VSA's 2008-09 DP2 cohort from a summary released at a briefing session for the secondary parents probably in late 2009 or early 2010 but not published in the public domain which were roughly comparable to those of ESF schools (bearing in mind some students in ESF schools do not take IB Diploma programme in the final years). Please note that the cohort of VSA 2008-09 DP2 students did not study all the way there but joined the school just for two years.
The new policy in UK should not affect the majority of HK students as it mainly targets those sub-standard universities and fake students.
By the way, a significant no. of VSA students also plan to enrol in the local universities through the non-JUPAS route.

As I have said earlier above, no school is perfect and it is upto the parents to choose one that suits their children most.
It seems that, among the parent population of VSA, there is a significant number of them who have a tendency towards the mode of education commonly adopted in Asia, targeting for quick results arising from keen competition since the early years of a child's education. This mode of education is adopted widely in local schools and, to a certain extent, is achieving good results, particularly in mathematics (maybe upto pre-university level). Good local schools can guarantee a place in one of the local universities for the student. However, it is often at a cost of quality family life and also questionable whether it is still good enough nowadays.
Did university graduates compete for employment as a police constable rather than a police inspector twenty years ago? Should parents target a more long term goal for their children in leading a successful life instead of merely securing their university education?
IB programmes aim at inculcating an inquisitive mind in the student and providing a broad base of education to prepare him/her for the ever changing world ahead. With due respect, I disagree that inquiry-based learning is not suitable for primary students. From research and according to the experts of IBO, young children should learn in an inquisitive environment in order to facilitate the development of their mind which is still in the growth stage. If they cultivate a habit of learning the standard answer to a question (say, simply looking for it in textbooks), they are bound to have overlooked different perspectives surrounding the question. Take the example of Pluto which is no longer regarded as a planet in the solar system, why? We all learned that Pluto was one of the nine planets in the solar system during our school days though it is considered not to qualify to be one any more. In the real world, there are multiple answers to a question, depending on the assumptions and viewpoints, etc. Acquiring a lot of such knowledge in terms of standard answers can only serve short term purposes (say, passing examinations) but, more often than not, will have negative impacts on the development of the child's mind. In the age of information explosion, it serves little purpose in feeding small children as much 'knowledge' as possible in primary years which can be acquired within months in their secondary years, if not updated (depreciated?) like the aforesaid case of Pluto. On the other hand, the learning skills acquired from an inquisitive environment can be carried forward to the university and beyond. Having said that, there are also assumptions and/or prerequisites behind the above viewpoint. Inquisitive learning must be guided and have discipline in controlling time and other constraints in resources so that efforts are concentrated in finding the answer(s) to the question rather than simply wasting time and heading for nowhere. IBO does have stringent requirements on the training of teachers.
I agree that there are a lot of areas for improvement in VSA and it is true that there have been a lot of changes in the school during the last few years. Just like interpreting half a glass of water, mine is that VSA is a glass half full of water with more (changes) pouring in and some (identified as bad practices) seeping out from time to time rather than as a half empty glass of stagnant water. VSA is a new school and dynamic changes (like flowing water) can remove (dilute) bad practices (impurities). Of course, not all changes are good and successful. Nevertheless, a dynamic organisation is more promising than a static one in finding the best way out.
Lastly, I cannot emphasize more but to make it clear that IB programmes may not be suitable for everyone and some children can have better achievements in local/traditional schools, e.g. it has been reported that some UK students having achieved good results in GCE O level could not get equivalent results in their university entrance examinations by switching to IB DP. It is important that parents need to find the most suitable school for their children, according to their character, the family's support and budget, etc.

Slamai,
Accordingly, it seems that VSA parents attitude is "only believe and don't ask". And it seems that there are still many changes ahead for
VSA, whether good or bad, but parents are paying high school fee and test for those changes with their children. Is it worth doing so?
Another point that I don't really understand is that why the school fee is still increased by almost 10% per year provided that the school premises have been already relocated and settled for several years ago. What are the reasons from school management? Inflation or just profit?

Actually, I am not sure if this kind of conflict is common in international school(ESF, ISF, SIS etc). Because on one hand, the school fee is high compared with local school, but on the other hand, parents have expectation and quality is not very up to the expected standard.
But I just wonder if this is good choice to switch from Y6 in VSA to some band 2 or band 3 local school? How about the adaptability of the students and parents?

Ving,
[Accordingly, it seems that VSA parents attitude is "only believe and don't ask".]
That is not what I've said! I wonder if those parents actively writing posts on this topic have spent the same time in sharing their views (as VSA's stakeholders) with the school management. Writing posts here is not going to bring any changes to the school.
[And it seems that there are still many changes ahead for VSA, whether good or bad, but parents are paying high school fee and test for those changes with their children. Is it worth doing so?]
I can't think of any school, from the old and famous to the new and mediocre, which does not change. The question is whether such changes can bring improvement to the school.
[Another point that I don't really understand is that why the school fee is still increased by almost 10% per year provided that the school premises have been already relocated and settled for several years ago. What are the reasons from school management? Inflation or just profit?]
First thing first, I notice that there is another post here alleging that VSA is 一間商業機構 which is simply not true. The fact is that VSA is a non-profit organisation, the status of which is a pre-requisite required by the Government before it could bid for the land where its campus is now located. I do share the sentiment against the ever rising school fees. Its a pity that VSA does not receive any subsidy from the Government and I understand that it is under pressure in retaining its teaching staff. All in all, VSA's school fees are still not categorically higher than other IB schools without subsidy from the Government (re: ESF schools are receiving subsidy from the Government). Nevertheless, financial assistance is available to those who are qualified to receive it.

Annieyy,
Before your post below, it seems that my posts are the only ones giving balancing views on this topic. Regarding your comment on 亞Q精神, I do want to share some more thoughts here.
A 'Band 3' school can be a good school and suitable for the child if it adds 'value' to the child's education whose achievement on entry is also at Band 3 level. A 'Band 1' school may be a bad school and not suitable for the child if it adds little 'value' to the child's education whose achievement on entry is already at Band 1 level.
In comparing their children with those in local schools, parents are comparing apples with oranges. The emphasis of IB education is not the same as local/traditional education. If parents use the criteria of local/traditional education and assess the achievement of IB education, they'll be unhappy. If they do want these 'achievements' from their children, they should have put them in local schools instead.
I have been giving my views as objectively as possible like I'm a third party. If I have anything to complain about the school and/or share my views, I'll talk directly to the school management rather than writing posts here. Why I am still writing this post is that the views are so distorted and misinformed surrounding this topic. My credibility is even questioned here. I have already said at the very beginning that my kids are studying under PYP, MYP and DP in VSA. I've found that the school can add 'value' to them and they are doing fine. Those in the secondary are very independent and they don't need any tutors. I'm surprised that top students from famous schools also go to tutors after school. I don't compare my kids with those in local schools because it serves little purpose. The only thing I'm concerned is whether my kids can go to good universities choosing a programme of their choice. At present, I can't see why it is a problem.
One thing I should also mention is that IB (DP) is very demanding, in particular the language requirements, and not suitable for marginal students. Some students in VSA do have difficulties in their studies but the blame should not be put on the school.
