My husband wants our kid to go to IS but I have hesitation since I heard many bad comments about IS students, eg openness to having relationships, take dxxx (because they are usually rich or have rich fds), girls wearing short skirts, swearing and naughty in general. Anyone heard of these bad comments and which IS in particular? Sorry no offence but this is the perception after reading discussion threads

It's even worse if your kid goes to band 3 local school. 吾關IS定local事，呢個世代，人就係開放咗、多咗引誘，好睇父母由細到大點教。

援交被殺果個都係讀LS, 咁可唔可以generalise 話普遍LS 女仔會係咁？我自己睇正常is 學生已經比LS 好多方面好，

Most of what you heard are true and almost every school, inevitably, has her own stories.
Think twice and good luck.

拍拖！哪間 Local School？哪班？沒有人拍拖！現在的 Local School 小四、五、六已有人拍拖！

短裙、校服、頭髮......哪間 Local School 訓導不是日日去捉人....

校園上報新聞、離家出走、打架、偷野、性罪行、黑社會..... Local School 每星期、每月多的是！！！

Personally, I think 拍拖 is very normal and I won't consider that as 'bad behaviour'.

I think those IS with more local chinese will have better conducts(or less so "open"). If you like, those with christian background will be even better?
But of course cannot compare that with 修女local school.
But to me wearing short skirts and light make up are not bad behaviour. I wear mini skirts too when I went to uni.
Drugs and promiscuity are of course not acceptable.

講到短裙和化妝上學，有些IS是有，但其實佢地的打扮係類似外國teenagers的打扮，在佢地的角度，係好正常，這樣打扮亦吾代表佢地係壞份子，或者吸毒、濫交。

其實大家都要了解埋現時香港local school學生係點，有朋友係社工，佢話新一代女仔，好多屋企係無長褲的，四季都露腿。local修女band 1學校的學生，大部份係乖和純，但家長要考慮這是否你想小朋友成長的方式。

We all have different benchmarks for what is considered as 'bad behavior' and stereotyping International school student because you 'hear' they smoke, wear mini-skirt etc is really unfair. How many International School students you have met behaves this way? I have also hear many good students in International School, why don't you ask which school has more of these 'good' students? Would you believe the comments if a lot of ppl vouch for these 'good' schools?

Most importantly, school isn't 100% responsible for a students behaviors, you cannot blame the school entirely if a student smokes/take drugs etc….. Parents plays the most crucial role in a childs' upbringing, not the school. I don't think any school can satisfy your expectation if you plan to rely on the school to teach your kids moral values and good behaviors.

IS 明顯地在英文上佔優，而英文好又是將來讀書就業的 ...

而且IS包容性很高，很少會因為學業要留班

Actually i have. Some parents find that IS is too loose and lacks discipline, and change them back to LS after Year 1. Of course the kids hated it but are all young to protest. Personally i am totally for IS (as i grew up abroad myself), but for parents who grew up in the local system it is better to ensure you know what you are getting into instead of trying to change the school or switch the kids out once they are in. The damages are more severe in all aspects if you do that.

I agree that LS and IS are 2 different worlds, but they have their own good points. I am trying to let them taste both of the worlds at the same time, so that they won't feel either side is too weird.

同意，又難怪的，無小朋友時吾會留意，到有小朋友先開始了解，好多人仲以為「肯比錢就讀到國際學校」。

作者: esther.cy 時間: 14-12-13 11:30 標題: 回覆：Any bad comments about IS students

Agreed that good and bad students existing in both LS and IS. It really depends on how the family teach their kids and your kids' own characters. I have once heard from a professional counsellor said you can easily spot out bad / naughty IS kids as they don't mind showing you even from their appearance, but you can hardly spot out a bad / naughty LS kids, esp those from band 1 top schools as they need to hide their bad behaviour from parents due to high academic expectation from their parents. As I myself have a kid in LS and a kid in IS, both in primary now, frankly speaking, I don't think the one in IS has a looser discipline than the one in LS.

I share with your view and I am from local school brand one school, also many "bad" students around. Also agreed the school is only part of the life and parental influence is the most crucial.

觀乎上一層，中文水準確實令人難以相信是讀國際學校。請問是否非常後期去讀，還是去讀講中文的國際學校？

你好. 我除了幼兒園及大學於本地學校就讀, 其餘的時間都於英文的國際學校就讀.

我會考慮. 現在主要是因應心情而選擇使用中/英語撰寫. 我認為於香港居住的IS學生才要多閱讀中文啊!

看見你能雙語運用，更加加強我對is 信心。那樣連Ls 唯一的好處中文強都不再是不可代替了。

Hey i took IB too. I transferred from a LS to an IS so my english isn't rly good. i saw ur post about english fluency and presentation. im now studying in HKU fac of social science (btw what CUHK program u in?), and i realize the local students' english in presentation is even better than mine..... given that its harder to get in HKU/CUHK/UST through DSE than through IB, the local school students' english is not much worse than an IS's student.. and ur chinese is rly rly good. pretty close to LS's level. much much better than my IS frds.. did u get any tutoring on ur chinese? and ya i don rly like ppl who think speaking english is superior to speaking chinese lol..
and ya there are bad students everywhere. in my IS class there were like over 3 students who took drugs b4 (not saying taking drugs is necessarily bad, as its so damn common in countries like Canada even though its illegal). even in the best LSs like QC/DBS, there are bad apples..

Sometimes its really just 'sour grape' comments about bad students in IS, e.g. "oh aren't I glad my son/daughter don't go to XXX school, I hear they smoke/wear miniskirt/take drugs there!"…..but most likely the truth is, their child cannot get into XXX school

Yes, many IS students wear miniskirts to school, LS dont as they are not allowed to. I think the trend says shorter skirts look better than oversized ones. In terms of swearing, true that middle grades swear a lot in English while higher grades seem to cut down. They know where not to swear. I hear many IS students get to top uni or boarding schools though

I was in a band 1 girls' catholic school in HK, then went abroard during early secondary.  That was many years ago.  Even a band 1 girls' catholic school has its own problems, so don't be naive.

I was in a public high school.  Each year had about 300+ to 400 students.  The school was huge.  So I did see a broad spectrum of people.  Yes, girls wore make up.  There was no uniform, so you could pretty much wear what you wanted within reason - definitely nothing too revealing or out of bounds.  I didn't see a problem with that.  There were always a group of top students, a bunch in the middle and some at the bottom.  I didn't know if anybody took drugs.  I assumed there probably was.  A school is a miniature reflection of society after all.  It's a matter of which group of students your child chooses to associate with.

Coming back to HK LS vs IS.  Many people have pointed out that there are just as many drugs and social problems in the news concerning LS.  It's just that nowadays in this material society, I don't see any difference.  Many parents who send their children to IS are from hardworking middle class families.  If you are considering sending your child to an IS, I assume that you will look into the background of the LS as well - not unless you plan to go to a school like 鮮魚行 (no disrespect intended) - the family background of many students could be quite similar to that of many IS.  So we are back to square one - material superfluousness. I know teenagers at IS who have friends taking drugs, but her own family is very religious and the child definitely won't be any strayed lamb.  It's more a matter of how you teach your child at home no matter what school you go to.

You may have heard many "bad comments" about IS, but I can also tell you that I heard many bad comments about LS - how the emphasis on academics and very little else kills creativity, strained family relationship, suicide reports, drug problems...need I go on?

I have been a frequent BK/EK-er since 10+ years ago.
It is interesting to see that in the year 2014, the same question still pops up.
