Pods 兩文三語, 與樂基同一校長, 由於新校, 不知道老師質素怎樣. 靈糧口碑好, 不過英文方面可能稍遜. 應該選擇學校提供好的語言環境, 還是選擇上課時間配合小朋友的作息時間 (小朋友習慣午睡)?

新校好多未知，又是pm，所以揀靈糧是否安心D?
作者: teambuilder 時間: 13-5-29 22:04
好奇想知道點解樓主覺得新校會影響老師質素？一個好老師，去到那裡都係好老師。一個好老師，去到口啤再好的學校，都有機會離開。實際d，睇下學校答應比到d.咩係你想要既，而你又信佢真係會比到，咁咪去馬。如果你跟本對新校冇信心，就算間學校幾好你都唔會讀得安心。
作者: bettychan4u 時間: 13-5-29 22:24
擔心係因為新校沒有track record, 唔知學校會否over promise

I also want to know too. PODS sounds good but new school.
作者: bettychan4u 時間: 13-6-1 12:39
I think I will choose pods given the education philosophy matches my needs.

如果兩間學校都有pg 的話，可以試下兩間學校既pg感受一下，因如果個pg係學校自己辦的，咁多多少少會同幼稚園課程差不多，當自己親身感受完兩間幼稚園的pg，再決定！

我和先生都喜歡這兩所學校，不過靈糧學費是不是比較化算一點？PODS要6800一個月。
作者: bettychan4u 時間: 13-6-2 17:57
如果直接比較學費, 當然靈糧化算好多, 但因為pods每天都有英文, 而且係native speaker教, 再加上有少少普通話, 道理上語言方面會較靈糧好, 所以我知道視乎自己想要乜.

I checked out Pods due to a friend's recommendation. My observations:
1) The campus is like a dungeon in the basement, but heard that they're going to expand soon
2) The other parents didn't speak fluent English, basically they waited for the Chinese admin to show up for them to ask questions
3) The English teacher, who is going to teach both PG and PN classes, is a native English speaker but has a speech pattern of that of 13-year-old girls'4) The design of the play room was pretty impressive, I can imagine my kid having fun there
5) The location is very convenient, and the neighborhood should have quite high concentration of educated families
6) CIS is right above the hill
Hope this helps.

I visited the place earlier but didn't think it's like a dungeon... It's only one floor but the space is sufficient for kids. The other parents that I've encountered can speak fluent English. Emma the English teacher is fine, but quite a number of parents spoke to Priscilla the admin to clarify information... From what I've heard is that the Cantonese teacher is not ready for thr playgroup yet, so only international class ( ENG & Mandarin) isb available.

I guess i used more subjective description, so let me rewrite/clarify:
Dungeon in a basement = no window in the playrooms and no outdoor space;
Parents' English level = Hong Kong English, and the fact that they waited to ask the admin questions in Chinese, in front of the English teacher is rather impolite and tells me something about how confident they are of their english skills;
English teacher's speech pattern being poor = she used "like" in every other sentence, e.g. the children will have snacks,like in between sessions. We try to provide a variety of healthy snacks, like congee and things like that that people like..."
Because of the above I decided against applying to their K1, but that means I could be biased in the above statements. Please make your own judgement.

課堂內容重點係情感，教happy ,sad ,angry,sleepy等，這部分是ok的，但之後老師講黃色代表happy, 藍色表代sad, 紅色代表angry。當老師舉起唔同既表情時，小朋友要行去相對既顏色乎拉圈內。仲要唔係連續舉起不同表情，係表情與表情之間播歌，小朋友在播歌時要行來行去，音樂停，老師就舉起表情，小朋友就要行去相對的顏色圈並企在圈內，才叫做對！大家覺得這部分對一個18個月的小朋友來說，會否太難？

But I was told Emma is only the playgroup teacher. For PN and K1, they have other English native teachers who are certified and have a lot of experience just teaching kindergarten. For example the English teacher who will be teaching PN English class is transferred from HKPS and has taught there for a long time and well-liked by parents.

My son goes to Pods Playgroup and really likes Emma. She is engaging and has a lot of experience teaching playgroup children. I spoke to her after class, she was educated in the UK as well, and I didn't see any problem with her English. But yes they are not cheap, so I hope the English teachers for PN and Kinder are as good.

Yes I could guess from her accent that she's from UK.hm... I don't mean that she's a bad teacher, and I'm glad your son likes her. She seemed really nice indeed.
Probably because I've lived in the States for quite a few years so I have higher expectations. It's like while most HK people speak fluent and accurate Cantonese, some speak like educated people do, some speak like gangsters do, and some speak like teenagers do. But I admit that my expectation may be unnecessarily high for kinder teachers!

我只是針對說，個別一堂的部分內容。而對老師的評價，我覺得要上多幾堂才可以作出，這樣會比較中肯！

No she's a brunette with curly hair. In my opinion, she is probably one of the best English playgroup teachers I have come across and I have taken my son to a lot of different toddlers playgroups before.

Thanx all, very useful information.
We all want the best for our kids...
i actually have the exact same question in mind, cause i have LLT PM PG and PODS PM N1 on hand now, don't know how to choose...
i need to give up one or the other.

溫馨提示：快將入讀的家長最好check下學校的註冊獲批未，上次參觀時有家長問過，當時職員話只批了場地辦學，學校／課程未正式獲批，要十月先開學，不過有關資料可能已outdated~ 最好自己打去問教育局或社署〜

我上星期五打去教育局check 過,佢地話冇pods kindergarten 既註冊紀錄。
即刻再打去學校問,黃校長覆返我,話教育局正式文件係未出,但已有信件回覆no objection .佢話相信九月前一定出到正式文件,叫我放心。佢話佢地辦過好多次學校好有經驗,冇問題的。話如果真係好唔放心可以攞返錢,出到正式文件之前學費唔會過數。
我都有D擔心,已推左兩間offer.宜家唯有係信黃校長架咋!

i asked PODS about 'sharing' of principal and the supervising English teacher wtih HKPS (Kln Tong) today. I was told that the English teacher will only be in PODS in the morning. She (should be admin person) couldn't tell me how much time the principal will spend on PODS but she just said since HKPS is well established, the principal will probably put more time in PODS.

I also asked the same question before. The admin. lady said that the principal will stay at Pods most of the time after the new school year commences. For the director of the English curriculum (Ms. Samantha), she will be transferred from HKPS to Pods and will be responsible for some of the teaching in the morning.
