平日放學後的節目便是做功課、洗澡、食飯、練琴,九點到了也要預備上床睡覺,所以星期六日主要是用來溫習默書、小測,去街已變成一家人的奢侈品

我不迷信愉快學習,但我會留意學校功課量。
其他自理事項,要自己教,小朋友有些耗時差異很大。

所謂普及教育, 現在根本普及唔到, 以前如果小朋友乖d, 肯留心, 唔使醒, 肯生性已經可以自己攪掂.
依家, d 課程又深又多, 一般小朋友(一d都唔蠢)係應付唔到, 父母有心有力還好, 財力能力缺一都分分鐘都唔知沉咗去邊. 咁你話唔全家一齊打消耗戰點得.

絕對地認同
,基本上現今的學校最希望家長能全職教導幼兒功課、自學、備課,學校的責任只在於出試題,測試學生在家中是否有溫習,家長有否教授孩子知識,學校與家庭的責任簡直本末倒置

我明白你的意思,我跟你的看法事實上頗接近。
我選小學是明白初小時要功課少,學習愉快,學校紛圍理想的學校。我對學校教學理念跟我家的教育理念要相配合,同時發揮到他的優點。
不是找到一間所謂愉快學習的學校,教與學的問題就一天光晒 - 所以我稱之為迷信。
到中學有不同考量,如果粗略知道兒子的資質,我會按他能力及學校的條件,選擇較合適的學校。
到中三兒子講給我知,辛苦學習及愉快經歷是可以並存,學習經歷可以辛苦,達到自己階段性目標是可以非常開心。 先苦後甜,先甜後苦是會交叉出現,令我對所謂愉快學習有了新的體會。

那先要問問自己對小朋友的期望是什麼,底線在那裏。去盡,執行上固然相對簡單,但難免浪費。香港教育肯定不理想,但父母亦非完全被動,也有責任。父母願意接受七十分的幸福,小朋友自然多三十分的快樂。等價交換,還看父母把多少換到學術上去。

我家仍然堅守星期日是family day,即是不會安排任何興趣班及其他訓練給阿女,讓她做一些自己有興趣的事。當然,有時候也難免會用一些時間做功課及溫書,但一定不會用整天的時間。其實,孩子的專注力有限,不妨安排早上行行山,到公園走走,食個舒適的早餐或午餐,下午回家唸書或做功課,效果可能會更好。

我觉得不应强调愉快学习,更应着重有效(率)学习。今天有太多无效的“愉快学习”例子。真正做到有效学习就自然会愉快。

我没有建议要学黄金宝。
我的意思是要用有效学习方法教导孩子。对每个孩子应该用什么方法最有效是家长和教育工作者要思考的问题。
愉快并不一定有效。英美的小学数学一塌糊涂,就是过分强调愉快学习的结果。
我认为有效的学习方法自然会令孩子觉得愉快。这种“愉快”不同经历的人会有不同的体会。黄金宝只是例子之一。
让孩子失掉信心的当然不是有效方法,单单有信心也不保证方法有效。

其實上課留心,做功課認真,考試時都唔駛點溫。最多一個至兩個鐘。為何要全日呢?平時我仔都好多時間玩,做完功課,自己温默書,做少少數學練習及練琴。我放工返去已玩緊。食完飯睇下功課,玩多陣就準備瞓覺。瞓覺前多數睇書。

I think it is principal reason why non-profits run by young people are more exciting, innovative, and dynamic. In the context of business, unlike old people, we not hindered by financial burdens, (we, rather are the hinderers!) and so we can focus on our motivations on an outcome we believe to be good. This is an excellent thing. In a sense one's motivations are never pure than when one is young.

David Almond: how to let your imagination fly
Spreading their wings: David Almond says children can flourish by reading literature Photo: Rii Schroer
By David Almond
7:00AM BST 01 Sep 2013
At the end of last year, I spoke at a course for teachers at Seven Stories, the National Centre for Children’s Books in Newcastle (an astonishing, pioneering institution that has just won a National Lottery award for best education project). Afterwards, a teacher from Dene Community School in Peterlee asked me to visit.
I visit schools when I can: state schools, private schools, primary schools, secondary schools, schools in far-flung rural places, schools in troubled inner-city areas. I used to be a teacher, and it’s a privilege to spend time in so many different institutions, to see what’s happening in children’s worlds. And like many children’s authors, I feel it’s part of the job to encourage and inspire – to help keep literary culture alive.
Dene School is in East Durham, an old industrial belt. It has a higher than average number of pupils with special educational needs; a higher than average number eligible for free school meals and the latest Ofsted report stated it “requires improvement”. It’s the kind of place many parents might steer clear of.
I worked all day with a group of 11 to 14-year-olds. We talked about my childhood and theirs, about our young ambitions and dreams. We talked about books: the authors they liked and admired. They talked about the stories and poems they wrote in school and at home. They asked perceptive questions about my work, about character, plot, writing techniques.
We wrote together: fast, careless writing; slow, structured writing. We used ordinary objects – a key, a sock, a packet of flower seeds – as catalysts for the imagination. I showed them my messy notebooks, and we talked about how the apparent perfection of a published book is an illusion, that the book, like all of the best human achievements, like society itself, is the product of an imperfect, dogged, messy, passionate, optimistic process. We talked about the importance of honouring the time you spend on a story or a poem, respecting the language, respecting yourself, not dismissing your work as useless, finding something to like in everything you write, the value of careful editing.
There was a lot of laughter, a lot of companionship, a lot of hard work. Eyes shone in the moments of recognition and surprise that come when a word, a phrase, an image showed itself apparently unbidden on the page. We wondered together at the spontaneous workings of the imagination and listened to each other as we read our work aloud.
But perhaps you don’t believe such things can happen with children of 11 to 14, in a school like Dene? You may accept the half-truths peddled by some of the media, and most shamefully of all, by some of our politicians, the kind of half-truths that seem to have become common currency: the education system is failing; state schools are dens of insolence and awful behaviour; children are disaffected, uninterested in learning; teachers can’t teach; they’re a bunch of Marxists; the best of them are only found in private schools… You may believe the line that’s often said to me, a children’s author: “Ah, kids don’t read any more, do they?” Why do people believe such things? Why don’t they see that the truth is more complex?
An incident halfway through my day at Dene might help us understand. The head teacher came into the room. The children proudly showed him their work. He smiled wryly. He handed me some press cuttings from last week’s newspapers. Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, had been talking about the schools of East Durham. “When you go into these schools,” Gove said, and he named Dene in his list, “you can smell the sense of defeatism.”
The children all knew what Gove had said. They looked at me intently: did I believe this, they asked. “It’s one of the most wonderful school visits I’ve ever made,” I said.
“You’ll tell other people?” they asked me.
“Yes.”
How must the fantastic young people I worked with at Dene feel when they hear such things about their schools, their teachers, themselves? How optimistic must they feel about their futures?
This is not simply another moan about Gove – there’s nothing new in a children’s author challenging him. And I’m not saying that all is fine in the educational world or the world at large. It’s not. How can it ever be?
Instead here are a few suggestions. First of all, try to find out what really happens at your local school. Wouldn’t it be great if more people – not school inspectors, not suited politicians perching awkwardly on small chairs for a photo-opportunity to launch this month’s dread initiative, not children’s authors such as myself – could also visit?
Go to Newcastle and visit Seven Stories, see the amazing work that is done there, see their great exhibitions of writing and illustration, see the vibrancy and health of children’s culture. Be amazed by the creativity and inventiveness of their educational programmes.
You could write, like the children in Dene did that day. Write a poem, a story, a song. Seems barmy? That’s OK. Lots of people tell me they’d love to write. Be childlike, be playful, be disciplined. Am I wrong to believe writing creatively can help us to understand the complexity and strangeness of ourselves and our world? I don’t think so.
Come to the Telegraph Bath Festival of Children’s Literature. Meet the writers, artists and publishers who create work for the young. Meet the teachers, librarians, classroom assistants who work with the young. Meet academics, professors and students who understand that children’s literature, rather than being a marginal, hardly important thing, is at the beating heart of our culture. Enter a world where people do genuinely believe that art and books can change people’s lives. See how responsive, thoughtful, perceptive, energetic and creative today’s children really are. Be inspired and informed.
Be brave. All you have to lose are some prejudices.

如果今天十八到三十岁的一代是不如理想, 那肯定是四十到六十岁香港人的责任.
今天是父母急需要改变的年代,自己分辩要不要跟大对,(大部分上一代跟左,结果是失望的多), 批评香港孩子和教育很容易, 带领孩子去想去做 最难.
对而是改变的年代, 如果我们

Thank you for your sharing. I like the idea from this young guy. Agree with you that we are "experience" (or old) enough to have more indepth and sophisticated idea. Yet, for young guy without real practise and business experience, they can have dream and have different angles to the same thing!

As a society, we don't respect academics or intellectuals. I bet most HK people can name more real estate tycoons than academics
Unless this changes, I doubt we will see much progress in a better environment.

For someone with good ideas and fanciful imagination, it is easy to pick up grammar, structure and various writing skills. For someone who has great grammar and fancy word choice but no original ideas or imagination, would anyone really care to read what they have to write about?

好多方面嘅,大學方面,注重的是怎樣包装,怎樣將一科傳统的包装成一科"神科"(街市皇國這一年來,最令我反感的,就是甚麽神物神物了),怎樣縮減少一年半年時間,去吸引短視嘅家長、學生。連阿二去聽大學入學講座,都聽到一肚子氣,佢話聽完之後,連想讀的都變得無興趣了。
家長方面,上BK上得多,都知街市行情。有啲嘢,真係俗不可耐。
城市大學校長最近講過,以前港人出國讀書,咩科都有人讀,咩科都有尖子,現在純理科却少得可憐。

前幾個月偶然看經濟日報,報導一位四歲移民美國的香港女孩,
(忘記了名字),二十五歲已成立公司寫分析Internet 溜灠群組的數據,賣給巨企,三十歲已是fb高層云云.......來港跟學生的交流中,提出是:
今天是資訊電腦電子的巨變時代,是年輕人前所未有的機遇。
在此有人話舊酒新瓶,有人話不外如是,如是者便年華老去。
上星期旁聽人家開會,會議窒內明顯是兩個群組,A群是四十歳以上的専業人士有議員,律師,醫生,巨企頭頭,IBO examiner,B群是十九歲以下學生,奇怪現象是當A 群還用筆寫notes,B群是每人一部iMac, 會都未開完,他們已經把重要事項修正和發出,辦事效率奇高。我的角色是路人乙,當時想A群跟不上時代,很快便要自願或是被勸退了。
父母的強項應該是家庭教育,其他認為必做的,可能已是十分out. 又或者是教多錯多。

平衡最好!
快靚正是效率表現,但原創性,思路,質素,互動不會因為 Air Mac而提升,可能分心覆WhatApps及WeChat。
創新自然有優勢,有些傳統價值及工藝及文化都有另一重價值,例如中文輸入法及書法,雖然冇乜人認為書法有用,但好有欣賞價值。
我相信達文西張直升機草圖,比張洛協馬田的直升機工程設計圖更珍貴。

Even keeping a blind eye on grammar and vocabulary, I do not appreciate the ideas behind. The central idea does not even come out well. The article just does not flow right and a bit of age discrimination.

我也是挑剔的人,我也覺得,newsletter 一般應該唔好有甩漏,唔好有錯。
但再想深一層,是孩子的 idea,又的確可以給他多點鼓勵。
grammar 有冇錯,idea 是否 really unique,相信老師也看得到,真的要幫孩子的文章修飾到完美不難,但老師將文章照刊登,自然有他們的原因。如果樣樣都話 no good,令孩子唔敢再講他們的想法了,嘗試他們想試的,就有點可惜。
孩子就是孩子,他們會成長,或者一兩年後,這孩子會寫得更好,idea 更獨到也未定。

Some years ago, I dug out my dissertation which I prepared long ago when I was in the University. I could not believe what I had done. The work was done badly. The idea was too simple. Yet, I got an A grade.
I think the lecturers were so kind that they appreciated my effort paid and the idea behind.
Looking back, I think one's experience counts. Maybe we should be more forgiving and appreciate more to the youngsters.

早前和從外國來港公幹的親戚聚會,他是在 new york 住的 creative people,正好小女也想行這條路,和他越談越起勁。我們談到大學愛那類學生,當然離不開 academic grades + 創意;但他也強調,現在很多大學的 professor,都投訴新一代 creative people basic sketching skills 差,寫字差;他叮囑我女兒,電腦可以照用,但都要要 keep 住多用筆寫字。當然,每個行業不同,又的確很多行根本是全電腦,不需要用筆。但寫得一手好字,真的會令人加點好印象。
