小兒子即將入讀小一，一間傳統名校和一間很好的國際學校兩個offer，兩件學校都是一條龍到中學。很難抉擇,想聽聽大家的意見。

想提下你喇沙唔係一條龍，小學上到中學大約七成。

Are you from ICS kindergarten? It's very difficult to get in ICS if you are an outsider ?

Very hard and yet easy choice. Both are very different types of school in many aspects. Here are somethings that you may want to consider:

1) Does he like to study and do homework?
2) What is your expectation of his Chinese/English level?
3) Which school does he like more?
4) Will you send him to study aboard after primary / secondary school?
5) What is your expectation of the school.

Hope it helps.

其實真係好難取捨。我比我朋友個case 你參考下：
佢得一個仔，全家冇外國護照，小朋友幼稚園讀st catherine . 個仔當年男拔（爸爸唔係畢業生），加拿大國際學校都收咗，佢兩公婆周圍問意見，最終簡咗讀男拔，而家已經中學生，舊年已經讀完第十班嘅預備班，今年讀緊IB.
我朋友點解㨂男拔，首先四大長老都鐘意，不停叫比個仔讀，佢兩公婆諗如果讀完小學之後轉IS，應該比由IS轉local 容易，個仔性格比較文靜，佢老公想個仔學多啲中文先。點知個仔又適應到，成績又好好，當然有補習，個仔唔想轉IS讀中學，所以繼續讀

心魔是最難克服 - 咁幸運俾您抽中La salle 唔讀? 第日d幸運就會唔黎。而且LS唔洗交學費，慳番的錢，去好多轉遊學都得。
今日憑實力考到ICS，第日要是不適合LS，也可再考其他國際學校。
所以GO GO GO!

Can you tell us what do you feel good with both schools?

作者: CKCKmom 時間: 15-6-30 23:34 標題: 回覆：zoezoezz 的帖子

Noted you have posted the same questions on both local and international forums, and I am glad to see the comments offered here is more constructive!! Not only 叫你放位，比LS個位d好想入的人！
I am also facing similar situation, got my 1st choice from allocation (not a famous school) and originally planned to go to IS. It took me awhile to decide! Not that we didn't plan for the route for my kid but both paths are possible and as parents, it's very natural to have a more thorough analysis before concluding!
Both are good schools, just pick the one your family as a whole feel more comfortable!! ☺️

I just read the replies at the local forum and I find the replies are rude but funny. They are all asking you to give up Lasa or saying you are not well prepared when picking the right school for your kid. Nothing constructive at all! Now I'm convinced how people crave for laksa

雖然係寸。但你想下，local schools果边，喇沙係好多人的dream school. 真係抽到唔洗諗一定讀。咁而家你又抽到，但同時有IS offer 教學模式迥然不同，但又覺得咁難決择，又說不出考慮緊d咩。佢地當然会直覺樓主未必好buy local school果套，所以傾向叫你揀IS。之前有post問喇沙vs啟思。情況一樣.睇落係刻薄左d,不過答的未必是酸葡萄。其實我小朋友都經過類似的情況，的確很難決定。最後我選擇我估計我小朋友較適合的學校。

作者: chansiub 時間: 15-7-1 08:49 標題: 回覆：himmamme 的帖子

話雖如此，也不用那麼mean. 我想講的是根本不可能在那邊拿到什麼好的意見。太bias了及太無品了。要出有神校的vs的post就通常會落得如此下場。也難怪為什麼Ian Tsang有生存空間。

作者: 木子兔媽媽 時間: 15-7-1 08:55 標題: 回覆：ICS Grade 1 vs La Salle Primary One

Agree. I am always thinking of the same question of 'IS vs local'. The only answer only appear when you know what you want. So that is why I think you really need to list the points you really appreciate for both schools. In case you 'want to give the best of the best', you must make sure what is 'best' in both schools actually and are those 'best' really 'best in your eyes'

我明白你的感受，我也經常週旋在本地與國際之間。
我覺得名校是好，但功課真的不好受。如幼稚園已有足夠training和你已準備好，應該不是問題。但如不是，都幾大鑊，更可況大班33人，真係要睇睇小朋友有沒有突出表現，如有，老師會提攜；如冇，就其實冇乜人理。

樓主好有修養
我覺得你會俾小朋友考ICS，應該不是太眷戀local schools
我本身不是香港人，所以對Lasalle無情意結，對中文小學都比較抗拒
中文固然重要，英文始終是國際語言
如果屋企用中文溝通，我始終覺得中文不會太差，亦可以出外補習
以上意見純屬以我個人為出發點，你自己應該亦有唸法
Good luck！

數年前我回流回香港，首先送女兒讀本地kindy, 但學校老師話佢唔適合主流，叫我考慮其他非主流小學。因為我離開香港已差不多20年，本來一心想比女兒行傳統路線，所以突然要考慮轉我都好混亂，因為非主流除了IS, 亦有直資，英文私校，活動教學的津校，所以我諗放喺本地學校果版可能會吸收到多d意見，因為我我實在對本地學校了解不多。但最後我得到的回應是：返美國讀囉！

當年我也遇到同樣的情況，結果為女兒選了傳統女校。作為過來人，我的意見是傳統學校方法能夠培育考試精英，但在培養好奇心、學習興趣、動機、獨立思考、自學能力、創意等方面遠遠不及國際學校！所以問題是究竟你想要甚麼？

There is no turning back in real life but if I have to choose again, I will look for an international school with good academic standards / results. If there isn't any such school that accepts my child, I think will still change to the traditional school!

作者: luplup 時間: 15-7-23 14:49 標題: 回覆：zoezoezz 的帖子

I faced a similar difficult choice couple years ago, ICS vs a top ranking traditional school.  I finally took ICS.  Everybody around me thought I was crazy, some even privately commented that I would regret.
During these years, I always rethink the same question:  did I make a wrong choice for my son?  It's hard to say.  My son is the type that could be pushed 「谷」, so I believe that if he was in that traditional school, he should be able to perform pretty well.  But now in ICS, there is not much pressure from homework and exams.  So beside fulfilling the school requirements, he still got plenty of time to explore his interests.  He read a lot in the past few year, probably close to a thousand books, of varoius topics.  He has time to do sports, plays with his younger sister and even daydreaming.  Most importantly, his curiorsity and motivation to learn is very strong.  He would (and could afford) hours to research on things that intetest him.  At this point, I don't know whether he would do well in public exams and get into a good university in the future (there may be a better certainty if I chose the traditional school for him), but putting him in ICS gave him a happy childhood and balanced life which to me, is more important than academic achievement.
One last thing to note, Chinese.  ICS's Chinese standard is low, honestly.  But if you register the kid in Chinese tutoring class and encourage him to read more Chinese books, it should be able to keep him at par with average English primary school students.  But be realistic, there is no way to keep up with the best students in Chinese primary schools.
Hope this helps.

My dad face the same dilemma some decades ago, ESF vs Local elite school, at the end he chose local school for me. I did well academically, went to uni smoothly and everything went just as plan. But I must tell you, if I could make the choice again, I would opt for IS. Because apart from academic achievement, I sucks in all other aspects, I need to learn many of these surviving skills from the sketch in my 30+s.

作者: luplup 時間: 15-7-25 00:27 標題: 回覆：himmamme 的帖子

In ICS elementary, while there is no formal exams (except Chinese), there are class works and quizzes from time to time to make sure students understand what they are learning. These classworks and quizzes are sent home after they are marked so parents will know how their kids are doing at school (but there usually wouldn't be a score. Instead, correct ones will be checked while incorrect one will have comments or questions on the side to encourage students to rethink for a better answer). There is a computerized test on English and Math in the beginning and end of the year to assess the students' abilities in these subjects. The results will show a percentile against all students in US of the same grade (who particiate in the test). There will be a report card sent home at the end of each term showing the grades (1 to 4, 4 being the best) and teachers' comments for each subject. However, there wouldn't be any ranking. This is to avoid comparison among students but rather, focusing on your own progress.
