各位家長,本人都十分認同國際學校的教育理念和模式。但學生畢業後無論在本港或國外升讀大學,中文能力都十分有限,以現在巿場來看,中文能力似乎相當重要。你們有什麼看法呢?

係屋企自己同小朋友做多d中文, 去唔到本地程度, 都要有基本能力, 我相信做得到.  而且而家世代唔同, 出來做野中文都係打字, 好多新一代都係用拼音輸入, 只要有足夠辭彙同了解中文語法結構即可, 最緊要父母點睇.  要小朋友有functional level中文, 定係要佢有比較優美文筆, 不過我個人覺得, 即使本地學生, 文筆都唔見得好, 只能夠話比 is 小朋友 流利.

另外, 讀書唔係淨係開心, 教育理念呢d.  究竟 IS 同 LS train出來嘅小朋友有何不同?  我諗呢樣要父母自己衡量.  個人覺得概括d講, is 小朋友 problem solving skills同主動性比較好, 而呢d先係時下同將來職場所需, 而非一味考試夠高分.  出來做野, 老闆係睇能力, 唔係睇考試幾叻. 亦都冇老闆鍾意下下講到自己要求咁清楚, 好似試卷咁, 梗係講個大概, 員工自己摸索.  我覺得而家好多新一代做野都係, 事事要人講得一清二楚, 跟住框框做, 欠主動性同應變能力, 呢個先係死穴.

講得好好。我信任IS課程都係因為唔想小朋友死讀書,為考試而死記, 考完後唔知係咩。 HK係重視中文, 不過英文 更重要, 好多工冇要求好好中文, 文章好好 (可能睇邊行).  不過如果係HK 英文唔得都係做比較做低層次工作(我個人認為)。最重要的都係冇填鴨式教育, 小朋友在IS下教育都會多自信,國際視野等

Agree with you that Chinese is essential.  There are IS that puts a lot of emphasis on Chinese such as CIS, ISF and SIS.  Arguably, they can even be better than LS in Mandarin.  I think many parents now recognize what you are seeing and these schools are getting more and more difficult to get in.

我家庭很認同國際學校的教學方法, 打算安排孩子讀國際學校.

正所謂, 針無兩頭利, 我打算親自自己教孩子中文. 老實說, 大家試下看看目前本地小學(包括直資)的中文課程, 我相信你也會一頭霧水! 如此學中文, 我很質疑成效. 我得弄清一點, 我要求的是學中文, 不是學中文字.
作者: terryhau    時間: 12-5-10 14:51

我的小朋友讀過直資小學(few months),不過同IS真係好大距離,雖然一般直資小學都sale英文好,活動教學,但最後都係要跟HK考試模式,同LS學校無異

I don't think the Chinese Standard of local school students is "super" good.  Yes, the textbooks are teaching lots of difficult words and proverbs which we seldom use in daily communication -- except you want to be a writer.   Many of the professionals in Hong Kong say lawyers and doctors use English more than Chinese.

國際學校因為佢既中文課程係以中文為第二語言既學生而設, 所以只係著重日常溝通,簡單寫作閱讀為主 ,唔會加埋古文,文言文 落去課程度
而本地學校 LS 直資學校 ,因為佢既中文課程係專俾 母語為中文既學生,所以一定會深好多,會有古文 如 唐詩,宋詞,元曲,文言文等, 而且仲要係考試上分高手,如果唔係點解年年會考中文科都有四成幾人中文唔合格, 得幾個 % 考生考到 A /5*

當然本地學校 LS 直資學校 既學生想英文叻可以選修英國文學 .想中文叻既可以選修中國文學 .

喜歡國際學校教育模式的理由很清晰,Local school有些問題確實是很難接受。
不過,去過不少IS Open day/school tour,又和很多有小孩在IS和LS的朋友談過,感受越來越複雜。

好像除了最好的4、5間,國際學校在中文和學術方面都不是十分理想。明白它們是根據某些地方的system,其他地區小朋友是無亞洲咁谷,但距離真的很大。如果是非亞裔生,過幾年回國繼續學業問題不大,但全球名大學對亞裔學生的積分要求都較高(多得中國學生),小朋友可能吳夠競爭力。

不是想說國際學校不好,只是分享一點看法。非常熱愛IS的家長請勿見怪。

讀IS英語流利是必然,但語文只是渠道,實學亦很重要。

我覺得好的IS是比名LS好,因為它的教學理念、愉快的學習氛圍是好珍貴。但如果是一般IS,中文又吳得、學術又平平,咁父母每年付了~10萬學費去栽培小朋友,是否得到想要的成果!?

最近去一間IS school tour,看它的刊物,介紹學生升學情況,有一部分是香港排名較低的大學,當然大學只是人生的一個里程碑,但多少會有點失望。

大家幫小朋友報名前,去學校看看,睇吓學校的刊物、上網看看university placement的track record、 問吓相熟朋友的經驗(不要只問一次,多數人第一次講都是客氣說話居多)。

香港小朋友好多幼稚園就要背乘數表,國際學校就平均 p3 先開始學乘數,但高中一樣讀到 calculus,到大學都一樣讀得上 differential equation
香港小朋友幼稚園學 d 英文生字,有咁長得咁長,policeman,xylophone,telephone;國際學校小學重學緊 am are the 呢 d sight words,要比,大家可以話香港小朋友英文好過鬼妹,嘩,信心又番黎喇
有心要 show off 學生的表現,大可以好似某名女校咁,將學生的作品,由老師潤筆再潤筆,(重未計交功課前由補習老師修改) 先放出黎比人睇,個個剃到嘩嘩聲,不過有幾成係學生真跡自己估
國際學校在初小階段不主張隨便修改學生的作品,有時串錯字都唔會理,最緊要小朋友做得開心;當然到高小老師會執著 d

外面D家长见我地嘻嘻哈哈, 以为IS 好易入, 又唔洗点读书.  交学费就得, 仲怕课程太浅, 拖垮孩子前途, 真是美丽的误会吧!  大家要弄清楚, IS 的中文是国际学校, 中文是可選或不選的一科, 要学得多好, 是家长和孩子的责任大于学校的责任.  世界上那有perfect life, perfect education, perfect choice.

这里再提醒是一般念完小学或初中的孩子考进IS, 功课上写的只是practical english, 四平八稳, 难有creative writing 的作品, 和文科上渴求的天马行空的天份.  大家唔好甘贪婪, 以为教育可以用formula 算到尽, 读完中文读英文, 就一定最理想嘞!

我知道自己里排有D懆, 是罪过, 但是唔讲得直接D, 很多家长不明白, 还会误会下去的.

我甘愿年付了~10萬,20萬,30萬學費, 是基与家庭财力可以负担, 让小朋友在优良的学习环境中长大, 希望其有光明正大的品格, 有保护自我的能力, 有装备面对未来的挑战.  有仁爱帮助弱小.  

如果有家长想要的成果是孩子最终入了一流名校如Harvard, 那容我在此分享, 今年好友的孩子刚给Harvard and Stanford (香港只有两位学生) 同时收取了, 是那间年付10萬學費的便宜平常IS的 学生.  从少是0% tution, 唔识中文, 得闲或唔得闲都四处当义工, 参与教会, 热爱生命, 热爱挑战, 还有阿妈阿爸是打工仔, 忙碌非常, 但爱心无穷, 还要收养有障碍的小妹, 要数兄弟帮忙轮流照顾的. 生活支出要仔细, 买东西要讲价.  

当大家年觉得年付10萬學費栽培小朋友, 在盆算成果时, 请参考以上, 反思人生的遗漏, 然后调节对孩子的合理期望吧!

其实大家可以忘记那10萬大元, 节省那10萬, 如父母能做好家庭教育,  孩子必定出类拔萃, 一流大学是搶着要吧!

I plan for my kid to study in IS as I want him to have a happy childhood, rather than thinking too much about future career and the like. However, if you do think of $$ he/she is going to ultimately earn, i strongly advise you to go the LS route. HKU/CU/HKUST in particular are the best "viable" choices and it is easier to go their via LS. There are only a handful of overseas universities better than these 3 if the kid will work in HK, and it is now getting extremely, extremely difficult to get in without good family connection due to the competition from mainland and indian students (who scores way better than HK students, and can study 20 hours a day). It is nothing like the case when we were applying colleges years ago, and it will only get worse the time when my and your kids apply years later.

If you think IS is a shortcut to these colleges, forget it.
作者: hkparent    時間: 12-5-18 22:37

There are many overseas univ better than the 3 univ in Hk. Ivy league in the us and Oxbridge/lse/Russell group in the uk.
By the way, I'm looking for a local school that does not produce students with Hk accent English. It's quite embarrassing/disappointing in work meetings to learn that somebody who graduates from a Hk university/elite local school to speak the Hk accent while another meeting participant only graduates from an IS but speaks fluent and native English.

Perhaps we can say this - if you are middle to upper middle class, go for a decent IS ($100,000+ per annum)
If you're middle class, can try ESF ($60,000 per annum)
If you're lower to middle class, go to DSS

Is this sensible? You can cite many examples of famous/rich people in Hk sending their kids to IS.

作者: PoohsBaby    時間: 12-5-18 23:05

21Ckid, your statement "There are only a handful of overseas universities better than these 3" is VERY WRONG.   There are plenty of very good overseas universities, some much much better that these 3 HK Uni.   There must be a very good reason why so many HK local family want to send their kids to IS, the crappy local education system.   The competition to enter IS is so fierce that even expatriate kids can't get a place.   I fully agree with hkparent , it is very very embarassing to hear HK Uni graduates speak English .... and it is getting worse.

I think there are at most 10-20 colleges which are considered better than the local big 3 in HK and China, and getting into these is extremely difficult. The mainlanders, indians and koreans are squeezing out hongkongers in recent years and it is much more difficult than in our days, and would only get worse. Some of my friends are having their kids going to college this year and that's why i know. The local big 3 are much easier 2nd choices.

I certainly hope my kid will speak good accents as, sadly, many hongkongers (like you) and mainlands look down upon those who can't and discriminate against fellow countrymen. But I certinaly wouldn't feel ashamed of my own spoken english. Actually, one of my gweilo friend told me the way hongkongers treat them here made many of his fellows (he insisted he wasn't one of them) made them feel so superior and look down upon locals. I have lived abroad for some years and I can say the discrimination is far less there. It is a sad fact, but still, one should be proud of his own language and birth place before others may respect you.
作者: EvaKim    時間: 12-5-19 00:19

Agreed w friendlyguy, similar to people in China speaking Mandarin, they have different accent because of local dialect.  I believe if we can communicate fluently, there is nothing wrong speaking English with HK accent.

I agree.  Look at ESF for example.  They openly discriminate against local HK people.  It is stated on their website that they give priority to kids coming from non-Cantonese speaking families.  But Cantonese is the mainstream/primary language/dialect spoken by 90% of the population in HK!  This is absolutely ridiculous - ESF receive government subsidy, which means HK taxpayers' money (i.e., our money) and they expressly discriminate against us!!  Nonetheless, HK parents are still dying to send their kids to ESF and some will lie on the admission application forms (claiming that the kids and the parents themselves can't speak Cantonese) in order to gain a place at ESF!

其實 IS , LS,海外大學, 本地大學畢業生 ,佢地本身水準都各有好,亦各有壞 , 我係公司亦都見盡呢 d員工 既好壞 . 作為僱主, IS以及海外大學學生英文的確普遍俾本地學生叻,口音方面比較好,但當然亦有某 d 番書仔只係英文叻而能力欠佳,做事低能,似係屋企人俾錢幫佢讀 IS 浸咸水 .而本地生方面,雖然佢地英文程度唔及番書仔,但佢地有d學生英文都真係唔差,講得都好流利.當然亦有差既例子呀.   講真,本地生亦有好叻好醒既例子,連番書仔都唔夠佢地鬥 , 我講個我公司約兩年前請人既例子俾你地聽
我公司兩年前請人,吸引左好多畢業生應徵 ,係最後關頭, HR  果邊傾向請浸過咸水既番書仔(佢地好多以前讀開 IS) ,覺得佢地英文比較叻,又有埋 master degree ,但我留意到 有個本地 中大BBA 應徵者,佢係本地著名英中出身,會考科科A拔尖再攞獎學金考入中大.係校內成績又係頂尖,上過莊, 而係面試得知因為佢係單身綜援家庭長大,屋企窮困,所以佢要盡快搵錢幫補屋企所以無讀 master ,係大學讀書都係靠獎學金加兼職為生. 佢係面試表現亦非常出色 ,所以我同 HR 果邊淆過好多個回合 ,又同佢地打賭 ,先可以請呢個本地畢業生同埋幾個番書仔睇下邊個叻 d.
結果係呢兩年,個本地中大畢業生既表現比番書仔優勝得多,而且做事非常醒目,甚至醒目過公司好多所謂資深員工,好有領袖才能,而且又幫公司賺大錢,相反,個幾過有 master degree 既番書仔表現平平無期,唔得醒目,得英文叻 . 係上個月,果個本地薑(我打賭要求請既中大畢業生)已經升左做部門主管,入左管理階層, 當然果幾個番書仔唔服佢,覺得俾個本地薑管住佢, 但公司政策係有能者居之.
所以唔係英文叻就大曬,所以就算係 IS 學生,都要有機智,都要訓練培養點樣做一個出色又醒目既領袖

我相信問10個IS PARENT,個個都知英文is not everything.  Otherwise why so many IS parents sending their children to extra Chinese tuitions? IS 不単是為了英文一科的。 
上面有人提到香港人英文有「香」音不是錯、対、不是錯、只是可以容易改善的地方、従小開始、便可以改到、為何不改? 好似葉劉、英文了得、不容致疑、但就満口「香」音、非常可惜!! 無論IS OR LS,毎人都規定学IPA、発音就有機会逆転了。

如果英文好,我又唔會理係香港音定印度音
就算係美國,new york 同 houston 口音都唔同
其實一般社交,外國人大部份唔會理你 d 口音

讀國際學校係為學英文?係唔係睇得學校教育簡單了。
學校教育教小朋友的點只英文一科?
選擇國際學校的,一般都是因為唔喜歡本地教育。
教知識比學生唔難,但要學生真正理解就唔易。

當然,都有 d 家長係真係因為英文一科而選國際學校,咁我勸佢地考慮清楚先喇。

作者: 4eyesDad    時間: 12-5-19 11:19

Don't under-estimate the importance of accent (口音) .
Accent defines where you come from or where you belong.
In a status conscious society, accent defines class.
Many HK parents put their kids to local international schools without paying much attention to accent.
The result can be, well,...very odd.
A living example is a weather girl from TVB Pearl.
She has a complete Chinese name.
She has a complete Chinese look.
She obviously went to an international school in HK and I won't be surprised that she (or her father) knows someone in the TV industry.
When she reads the weather report, her English accent sounds like an untuned violin.
Question 1: Do you want your kid to speak English with that kind of accent?
Question 2: Is weather reporting the best job a local international school graduate can get?

Pls do enlighten me as to why ESF use HK taxpayers' money and yet discriminate against local HK people.  They won't even properly interview the applicants.  If they had interviewed the applicants and then made their selection based on a number of factors, e.g., interview performance, language skills, sibilings priority, staff priority, etc. then I can understand.  I am not totally against certain categories of applicants (e.g., expats and I mean genuine expats with work visas and not those who have been here for 10+ years with HK permanent ID cards) having prioirty over others.  What I find objectionable is this outright discrimination against local HK (i.e., Cantonese-speaking) applicants.

Hence there will be Chinese international schools springing up in every country, staffed by Chinese nationals and catering to children of visiting Chinese professionals, and as an aside, some locals who aspire to be associated with anything Chinese. Because these schools will make it easier for Chinese professionals to work in their country, many foreign governments will even go one step further and subsidize these schools.

Oh, but then we hear some local people saying, God damn these Chinese international schools, they place such emphasis on Chinese and openly discriminate against us locals and our local language, heck, we even spend our tax money on these schools, this is absolutely ridiculous.

I am sorry but I don't agree with your comment.  Your comment is simply based on some hypothetical situation that may or may not happen in the future.  I am dead serious about this issue and will write to the Education Secretary for an explanation.  This old boys' club admission system is so colonial and outdated.  If gweilos want priority over local people then ESF can do their own funding and stop receiving government subsidy, just like the other international schools.

上週, 有機會同朋友說說孩子的教育方向, 談了一個晚上, 頗有得益. 現將討論重點列出, 還望諸君賜教, 皆因小兒未足兩歲, 實際教育的問題, 於我家中只屬紙上談兵.

朋友的女兒, 有加拿大藉, 故此, 高中及大學, 一定會回加拿大讀. 但她會為女兒選擇選擇本地課程 (傳統或直資則未定), 原因是覺得, 在香港打好學業基礎, 再去加拿大讀書, 也就得心應手, 會讀得較輕鬆.

我猜, 大家都知, 加拿大的初中至高中課程, 一定淺過香港.

如無意外, 我家會安排孩子入國際學校, 長大一點會到海外讀書, 所以, 朋友的論點, 於我而言, 有點當頭捧喝, 我從未想過"打好基礎, 方便將來輕鬆讀書"的好處. 反覆思考過, 朋友的論點不無道理, 但我想, 小學至初中的教育, 是否純粹為"輕鬆入大學"的鋪路呢? 當中的活動學習對孩子的啟迪, 其影響是否更加深遠? 裨益是否更深入? 我想是的. 但我不又不能多言, 因為只屬幻想, 未有實際效果.

至於各位網友談到的中英文問題, 我有愚見如下:

(1) 學中文是大趨勢, 國際學校的學生, 如家中也用粵語, 先學粵語, 後學國語, 不會太難,  英文在學校日說夜說, 一定沒有問題, 基本的兩文三語, 應該手到拿來.

(2) 但論及較好的中文, 而非基本溝通用的中文, 最少能有看完<射雕>的能力, 那麼, 父母自少要幫小朋友培養, 反正看英文書的能力, 學校幫你手去培養. 學中文這一塊, 父母的input 很可能是唯一的input, 不能輕忽, 否則, 香港的特色(由於華洋共處, 學優秀中文及英文的軟件及硬件均備), 大大浪費. 許多自幼在美國/加拿大讀書的朋友, 會說中文, 也會看簡單中文, 但寫嘛, 卻不能了. 香港有此特色, 何不利用?

談到的中英文問題, 我认为你的立论正确, 对孩子的期望也很合理, 肯定能办得到的.  

"打好基礎" 对人生, 对学习是极度重要的, 但何谓"打好基礎"?  愚见认为重要的人生基礎是'态度', '纪律', 自我管约, 自理, 自省, 自我完善, 自爱, 有同理心, 勇敢!

当然有人认为"打好基礎"是学得深是尽量深, 学得多时尽量深多.  

因为我们爱孩子, 当然有忧虑, 但路总是靠我们和孩子'行出来'的,  怎可以像programme setting, 预先输入, 计算精密, 就必定得着预期的理想效果呢!  

还有大家能否想象八,九岁孩子常挂在嘴边的话是:(copy from family and friends)

1)读物科勿科,未来的出路
2) 去那里念大学有何优势
3) 凡事'值唔值, 好怕蚀底'
3) 唔懂中文亭'乞米'
4) 英文差必定无前程

不想孩子有这等概念, 试想我们当怎么办? 孩子天生有生存本能,, 可以担当各类大小成就, 千万不要提早送他一个框架,

好精彩的討論. 我兒子讀中文強的IS, 因為發現我家姐D仔女讀LS名校, 但中文詞語填充要對答案才有滿分.唔系得半分.好失望, 我以前中文老師不是這樣的.我家姐成日同老師argue分數.
撰IS(中文強的)的原因是老師要用母語教學, 即教中文要中文是母語的, 教英文當然要是英文是母語, 用英文教數學或科學, 也要英文是母語的, 這樣只有IS才做到.若老師表達不好, 學生不會學得好. 或沒有興趣, 或只為考試而讀書, 不為知識而讀書.
還有是港式教育很填鴨, 死讀書, 只喜歡對答案. 不會問為何答案是這樣來的.還有, 港式教育令學生喜歡操練試題, 這樣學知識很片面, 不完整. 只知道知識, 而不明白知識, 也不喜歡自己去找答案或找更多答案. 喜歡別人告知答案, 而不是自己去研究答案. 多看完整的書會令學生有完整的邏輯思考.
這是本人受過兩地教育(港式及美式)的經驗.
以上William9_2003的個案只是他找到個特別叻或資優的. 若有幸請到哈佛生尖子, 應該不是那些番書仔的質素. 可惜哈佛尖子多數留在美國, 被美國大企業請去了.
另外是, 本人會送兒子去外國讀大學, 當然希望是名校. 才讓讀IS.想外國讀書是想他獨立, 有不同的人生經驗, 開眼界. "不是祟洋, 是祟優" (陶傑說的)

看到在此有人舉 "一" 例列出"番書仔"不及本地薑, 我想動力跟LS或IS並無關係, 多少取決於個人.

我也在此舉多例. 我的工作要接觸電子/機械工程人員, 同事中, 亦曾有本地某最高學府的畢業生, 工作態度叫人不敢恭維.  零經驗, 工作卻左挑右挑, 態度散漫, 欠EQ, 不懂和人相處.

友人跟我同年, 是本地大學畢業的工程人員, 本來公司很多職位北移, 他幾經爭取, 想在港請一名工程人員, 可幫輕他在中港兩地奔跑, 卻失望而回.  所有本地大學相關學科的畢業生他都面試, 問他們為何做某某論文, 原理是什麼, 這些畢業生竟說: 不知道, 教授叫我們做, 我們便做了  --- 我覺得這對本地教育只求分數, 不及甚解這一項表現得淋漓盡致.  友人說, 他也不想那麼辛苦, 單靠他一人兩地跑, 但他認為, 若論根基, 技術和工作態度, 在內地總能挑到好的技術人員, 在香港反而更難, 所以最後他都沒有請香港員工, 唯有繼續由他一人兩地跑.

我讓孩子進國際學校, 不是貪圖學得一口流利英文, 這個我在家都能做到.  學英文比學中文容易, 這誰不知道? 我也分別在香港和外國唸過中小學, 還記得在香港唸書就是背書拿高分, 考試過後, 什麼都忘個一乾二淨.  到了外國唸書, 一本書是四,五百頁的, 能背多少?  老師也不要求範本答案, 最重要是理解課文.  中學時一位友人跟我說, 他很喜歡二次大戰歷史, 在香港唸某名中學時, 他將自己會的課外知識都加到考卷上, 老師評卷, 因為學生答的內容超過教科書內的答案, 竟然扣他的分數! 到了外國, 友人仍是隨心以自己所知作答, 雖然超越教科書內容, 老師卻大讚他答得詳盡!

我希望孩子進國際學校, 除了讓他們有個快樂的童年, 不要功課測驗壓得透不過氣來, 亦期望他們明白尋找知識, 甚至人生的樂趣, 依他們所喜, 發揮所長.  我從沒有想過要他們進Ivy League (能進去當然無限支持), 每個人的能力都不一樣, 無需強求, 我亦不要求將自己想做而做不到的, 要他們的人生為我填補 (這也是因為一點個人經驗, 有感而發), 每個生命都不一樣, 我只希望他們走自己的路, 只要不是什麼自毀或影響他人的行為即可.  人不能無錢, 但不一定要進Ivy League才能維生吧?

You have a very good point here. The unfortunate reality is that many International school students have an excuse to work on just English at the expense of all other languages.  
By the time their parents realize their deficiency in Chinese. It's time for university entrance or some kind of exam, etc. Then it's not the right time and is probably too late to catch up Chinese.
Result: Chinese looking students whose Chinese is below par.

2. If there are any Chinese looking students who actually think they are "superior" because of their English, then they are just naive.
3. You are right.  Speaking fluent English now is simply not a guarantee for a good job.  But the truth is nothing would guarantee you a good job nowadays.  The only certainty is that speaking and writing poor English is a guarantee for not being able to find a good job.
