Sorry I guess I am still better using English to express myself.

For those of you who may have followed my posts for the past years, I guess everyone know what we have planned, that is, to secure a private primary school at the time of kindergarten entrance.

We are fortunate to have spent the past two years in a wonderful kindergarten, both my daughter and I have learned and grew up together through such valuable experience.

Turned out, as some of you may have read my recently post that is rarely my style, my daughter has spoken for herself and expressed clearly her mind concerning her own education preference.  So, we have decided to give up and didn't apply for the related private primary school.  We hope that the seat can be offered to someone who are in greater need than us.

We are still very much in love of the school, and it is fortunate that we have another primary section which is gov't aided.  So now, we are leaving this to the hand of God to decide the destiny for us.

Do wish us luck and thank you to everyone as always!

Ian

p.s. Thank you very much for the reminder from a kind parent.  Here's the link to the conversation we had with our daughter.

Thank you lovelinda, actually we have never been so peaceful as we had made the decision. Frankly, I guess I can feel there are something missing in the puzzle and it's just happen that I decided to "check it out" with my daughter.

Hi w_y,

omg, you are right to the point!!!  May be I just shouldn't know that well, but I believe there must be a reason for that to happen.

And it is really not easy, it has been a long struggle ever since we started to consider whether to apply other schools.  But we never regret choosing this kindergarten for the reason of a through-train.

We now have the courage to give it up mainly contributed by the fact of its great education through the years.  Basically we are confident that my daughter will be fine in any schools she would enter, as she has already built a solid foundation of her characters.  We have no concerns at all.  So, hopefully you can also have such wonderful experience.

All the best!

Ian

I am really okay wor! Not even a slightly feeling of sadness as that has been bothering us for many many months. Now we are very much relieved.

We would have never thought we can feel so relieve without a school in hand. But now, we really do feel peaceful and calm. Thank you for the support!

Ian,

Hope your daugther can enter to a school which suit her the best.

But just wonder, SH private section allows student to take part in the central allocation. Why you need to decide so early?

作者: pandabonita 時間: 11-9-28 09:42

ian, your daughter is so fortunate to have parents who are thoughtful and able to make decisions. with lots of uncertainties and conflicting info, we are still struggling to get consensus on whats best for ours and we only have limit time b4 the 自行 deadline.

best wishes to everyone entering the p1 game this year.

Ian,

看你所寫，你是不是放棄私立部學位，改參加自行分配同一間學校政府津貼的下午班呀？還是完全選另一間小學？
如果是參加自行分配同一間學校，你無講有幾多分來申請，如抽到連細女都直入，呢個決定無錯o既，不過有一定程度風險囉。其實無違背你當初選一條龍幼稚園的意向丫，只是加入咗些少冒險成份。

我都好理解你大女既擔憂，返開下午班系好舒服既，要佢改為天未光就起身，真系好慘。。。。

Yes you are right about the freedom to participate in lucky draw. However, we want to be considerate to the other parents and do not want to hold a seat that we do not intend to take. There are many parents who have asked us why don't we keep it first but there are always others who will need it more than we do.

And this is good education to our children, not to be a selfish person. 'coz I really want them to know their parents can also do that, not just by telling them, but we set the good example to them that we are able to put this into action.

Hi enbutter,

I think I have spent THREE years comparing these two so it is impossible for me to tell you their differences easily.

At the end, whether a school is suitable for your daughter is a subjective thing. The objective comments sometimes are simply irrelevant as those must be able to apply to your daughter and your family.

One thing for certain, am is more academic advance and have better banding. I can assure you of that. At the end, this is the point to have a private primary school.

Good luck to you!

Ian

I guess your daughter wanted to make sure that her sister could get in as well?

Wish you all the best!

BINGO!

But for a moment I need to seek my daughter's input again as the private section principal confirm the younger siblings from SHCK can also be guaranteed, under her management. So that is a good thing for those with more than one daughter in SHCK.

due to my involvement on certain organization last year, I have delayed my timing to get baptized so it is not a little risk...... I have apologized to my daughter that I owe her this. But the point is we agreed by serving in that organization, it was meant to benefit more families than just ours. So, I didn't regret but true the risk should be minimal if it was otherwise.

Glad that my daughter didn't blame me on this. She has been easy on me. I guess she understand the allocation system than many parents

Hi Charlotte_mom,

Glad to find our similarity! In our case, the seats are so limited for the private section so I sincerely would like to leave that to others. We still like private section more as parents, but you have to learn how to let go.

Is this a good example that we are not helicopter parents? haha!

Thanks!

是的, 有些時候, 我們珠璣盡算
到最後的結局卻是出人意表.
反而當孩子還是年幼的時候, 我很害怕幫她們做錯決定.
無論如何, 我們做父母的都是經過深恩熟慮, 我想這樣對孩子來說已經很足夠.
加油!

祝大家好運之餘亦無選擇錯誤

作者: HaYi 時間: 11-9-28 20:54

我覺得尊重小朋友的意見是對的, 他才是小學的長遠用家.
只是我懷疑, 他們在此年紀, 是否比我們對不同學校了解得更多, 他們的喜好真得是如此理性 (不知樓主女兒的情況所以只是指一般同齡小朋友而言), 同一間學校的私立及公立部會令她如此的不屑(或響往)亦是表丈特別的問題.

以我自己的小朋友, 他是見一間愛上一間, 到底誰是至愛, 他自己亦無法一時決定. 我自己覺得, 雖然會給他們機會表達自己的喜惡 (對不同種類的學校), 但在此年紀家長無可否認在選校的漫長過程中, 需做推動者或決策的角色, 介紹不同的學校給他們看多些, 向一些高一些的目標(不一定是名校) 試下. 真得試不到也是盡了力已無悔了.

Thank you for the good wishes!

I admire my daughter's courage to take the responsibility of her own future, and certainly many more during our conversation.

The definite right or wrong only exists in the eyes of an adult, because we thought we know it so well.  But reality is, everyone can only have limited knowledge and we are always affected by the "noises" around us.

On the contrary, the kids are innocent (if the parents keep them that way).  So it is much easier for them, if given the opportunity, to see clearly the way they wanna go.

At the end, it is their own life and we can't help them with every single thing.  So, may as well to let them learn how to "make decision" sooner and be responsible for that.

This is our way of bringing up our kids, that's all.

津校並非比私校次一級既選擇, 特別係下午校比人感覺多課外活動/校外比賽, 學生活潑d, 又已習慣番下晝既時間表, 女女既選擇絕對理解, 而且上下午都係入同一中學; 至於banding, 記得見過當年高小家長(冇記錯係長老sindy)話除去下午校band 3學生, 其實升直屬中學係差不多. 不過最佩服係版主捨棄一條龍back up, 當人人都要搵多幾個水泡, 你地卻願意跳番落海搏鬥, 呢個風險唔係人人可以承受, 緊張關頭作無私決定相當難(通常見到既係7,8月仲霸住幾個學位慢慢揀). 相信主已為你作最好安排, 祝你女女黎緊面試成功, 入到佢心儀既學校.

諗埋阿妹可能言之過早, 話唔定小妹話想讀emi男女校, 到時版主一樣要重新張羅.

Of course we thought of that! In fact, we wanted to send the young one to another kindergarten originally. But it was a family decision finally for them to study together eventually.

It's still too soon to tell for the young one. The key is anyone should keep the mind open. A right decision yesterday could be a wrong one today.

All the best!

Oh that one! But she has such a serious look on this pic, totally without smile. And many of my friends thought she was in primary school already when that pic was taken. But in fact, she was still under 3.

No I don't bookmark my own threads. But I think I am good at guessing

? (or can easily tell what someone would think)  So not smart at all.

I have put all those previous pics (mini-sized) in my blog now.  I finally decided to remove them in BK since too many people recognize her face in the street back then.  Also, I start to become 版主 at that time and was advised not to use such pic.

Anyway, good to hear from you again!  All the best!

Of course, my daughter is not going to be as smart as your children to be offered by such a competitive school! We don't even dare to apply as I am quite sure my daughter is not up to their standard. But certainly I understand the ability of my daughter and with her own inputs, so I have only applied to those which fit her descriptions.

剛看到這post時很驚訝，相信天主對無私奉獻的人自有其安排

Hi Cutemom0808,

Thank you!

Ian,

I was shocked when I read your msg.  After I read the letter from your daughter...I cried.

I was shocked because I have been your quiet fans (cos not yet time for me to give comments as my gal is too small), and I have seen millions of advices from you and have seen you did SOOOO many researches and then finally picked the best school for your angel. I was shocked that you are taking this big risk.  But after I calmed down, I should not be surprised at all.  I really appreciate your 无私的爱.  Your decision is just the same person like you in my mind.  GREAT ROLE MODEL!

I cried....because I am so 感动。 I think it must be a tough decision to make.  With your angel with those angel like thinking.  You have definitely made a perfect decision for joining the K as the school may count some marks for the kind and thoughtful mind of your angel.

有人辞官归故里，有人漏夜赶科场。I totally agree that there must be some good reason for a decision, a right decision at one pt can be wrong at another point.  But at least no regret because you have made the best one at this moment.

Thanks for sharing, thanks for respecting your gals' decision and thanks for being such a great role model!

Your case same with my current thinking on selecting school for my girl. In the past, I am so keen to let my girl studying in so call "good" and "dragon school", and think that it must be a good way for her, at least with back up. However, when I am looking at other schools now, I find that it has a lot of choices for kids, no matter strong in academic, languages or even in 品格修養. Except something very bad I will stop them, why don't let them to feel something more. Life is long and with full of unexpected.

If I were you, I think I will do the same as well!

Anyway, support!

Sorry to hear that the two posts have stirred your emotion.

How we ended up is not important, but how others might change because of our little sharing is what we care. Hope at least, that can touch on your soul and inspire you.

Will be waiting for your participation as your daughter grow up!

Thanks for your sharing!

I am not saying dragon school is bad. And logically, it is how parents should begin with during their search of the "right" school. However, sometimes parents are just a bit too occupied and stop their search prematurely and that's the concern that what I concern.

Hope you will find the "right" one!

Hello Ian, thanks for your sharing.

I'm a new comer reading your post and I'm also wondering whether should apply SHCK for my 2yr old girl.  I was a sacred heartist, from kinder till college.  To be honest, life is not easy in SHCS private section (though it was talking about 2x years ago) and my childhood life = "study".

We really need to ask ourselves, do you want the same happen on your girl?  do you want her to be a stereotype of person?  I'm not sure whether SHCS has improved or not.  From your sharing, I can smell that it's still an old-fashion school. If this is the case, I really need to consider whether the same old teaching style suits my girl haha.

Your girl is a brave girl.  She is so lucky that her parents support her decision.  (I'd never thought of that even the life is tough in SH)  Good luck to you Ian!

Thanks for the sharing. I personally knew graduates of SH in different generation, all the back to those graduated from SHCC in the 60's. I can assure you that it has changed. If it didn't happen, you wouldn't find me in this situation at all!

Just try to open your mind and try to see how it is now for yourself. The decision is yours 'coz no ones can tell you what is the best for you, except yourself. But be reminded not to be affected by the past. It's the past and they are history. The history itself brings it to how they are nowadays, but not necessarily represent what they are today.

Good luck to you and your daughter! At the end, it is a wonderful thing to have your children study in the schools you attended. There are many similar stories here, may be you will run into your fellow alumni.

Thank you so much Ian. Good luck to both of us .

You're welcome.

In fact, we are lucky to receive our first and only offer today. So thank you very much to everyone for the support and blessing.

But we will still need to wait until June for the one we target. I guess our faith is still not strong enough so this offer comes to help to relieve us during the long wait.

Congratulations Ian!

Your gal has offer because she is smart and mature and has a great family who love her so much and being a great role model for her and other parents!
