Hi all parents in LA,

Before I went through my personal experience in LA, I would like to state my academic history. I was a child to study in overseas country. In fact, I have spent more than 5 years in the Great Manchester to have my certificate in Grammar school and University. Although I , fortunately, studied in the University with scholarship, my tertiary life was so colourful not only to have academic knowledge, but also to comprehend the difference between traditionally educational system, like Hong Kong, and globally educational system, United Kindom. Let me give you an example, English, most of the greatest teachers in elite schools , especially in Hong Kong, would prefer to teach English with grammar books so that pupils are able to understand all the fundamental skills how to construct from a simple sentence to a complex sentence. Do you think it is an effective way to learn such prevalent language ? The answer may be yes or no. Indeed, in the western nations, junior children start to learn by nature rather than nurture. It means that they are able to learn all the new vocabularies through their lives. However, junior foreigners have to hard remember all the lexical words through spoon-feed technique. Even worse, it is hardly to recall them as a usual. The another approach is to study English as a result of reading , speaking, listening and writing. Finally, in my belief, it is hardly to make a good decision how to select an appropriate elementary schools for your children;my suggestion is to depend on your characters of your children and not depend on parent's expectstions. We, parents, are able to give their births rather than their thought.

Hi all responsible parents,

What if a postgraduated student from top institution, like the Hong Kong University, has made you anixous of high education ? She , who has already mentioned to be a well-known machine for examination or to be a master for examination techinques in a technical conference, was to rise a profound question about the role of university student. Finally, she is hardly to survive with a few knowledge in practical environment which is a commerical skill in business office or top and advanced technology in research centre. However, she is unable to commit herself for her future under challenged world. Hence, she are faced with an agonizing dilemma and it seems there is no appropriate choice.
If we went back our education system in Hong Kong, the majorities in British colony were nurtured as a result of a chain of problem-solving techniques rather than the way of thinking. Nowadays, education system ,under communism,  has gradually restricted with many invisible principles , namely liberal studies, in order to constrain new generation's thinking. Unfortunately, parents only put their efforts on how to fight with an elite school and eventually result in a top university so as to secure a reasonable occupation for their children provided that Hong Kong and China economy are still in strong position.
Additionally, the majority of parents merely follow what other colleagues prefer to do. Undeniably, it may be true in some certain cases such as 24 hours tutorial classes and plenty of exercises. Even worse, all the junior children hit their books to burn the midnight oil. But, it is not a way for the whole person development or education. Isn't it ?

Despite many misconducts in daily teaching, y1 and y2 pupils lag beyond all peers in traditional schools to annoy many parents bellyaching. you are likely to report your expectations during parent's meeting or to persuade them in order to resolve confrontation.
Finally, junior pupils should bring up to learn the way of thinking rather than being a machine of examination or mobile dictionaries.

Hi parents,
Yesterday, I read some articles in a magazine which was to introduce some schools with specially educational method rather than traditional school. Surpisingly, a countryside-school, which is to locate in New Territories, is an elementary college to be well organized by a group of young teachers. In accordance with its principals in booklet, pupils are able to learn so much knowledge far beyond the textbooks such as self-discipline and adaptable know-how for daily operation. One particularly good example of environmental recycle, pupils have to classify all the wastages in terms of different categories. Especially, junior students, after their lunches, are welcoming to collect all the reminders from their meals. As a result, it is a good exercise to teach them because of adaptable experience.
Finally, principal of this school are saying to comment on the recent Hong Kong education system. All major schools, regardless of governmental and charitable institutions, treat their pupils as same as robots and electronic dictionary. It means that all the instant and compressible academic subjects stick into vulnerable children's brain. Even worse, children ultimately become examination machines.

In conclusion, learning is an important process, particularly in childhood, to bring-up children growing their knowledge and self -awareness. Curiously, they have addressed many colourful quizs such as " who are you ? " & " where are they ?". Education is the way of thinking rather the way of learning how to be a goalscorer  in public examination. In fact, education is a long way to teach them becoming understandable and adaptable person in connection with global world. However, many parents disappove my opinions to scold me how to compete with another pupils in " elite -schools"in order to secure a university place. In my belief, it is better to comprehend advantages and disadvantages of traditional schools before coming to an appropriate conclusion.

Hi, parents,

I have one daughter studying at LA Year 2 and have my son registered for LA Year 1 next year.  

Recently, I have written a passage reflecting on my thought and feelings towards LA after ...

Hi parents,

Having gone through your invaluable opinions with your personal experience in LA, this school is not as same as traditional one. Additionally, it's teaching method is completely different from "spoon-feed techniques" and most of them are quite similar to international school. Provided that children are able to enjoy themselves studying in a colourful elementary college, it will be my destination for my kids. However, there are so much struggles to raise up with my half in terms of effective learning and adaptability in a stressful environment ( public examination) . Anyway, in my belief, it is better to put my kid's enlightenment rather than traditional method in ancient education as the first priority.

Hi all smart parents,

What is to be done with people who can't understand the true meaning of education ? People are merely to follow the traditional systems and successful trials which had been done by many junior candidates. However, they  ,at the end,  are hardly to find their ways in order to merge into the whole society. Some of them might be under stressful pressure to commit suicide.
In conclusion, nurturing a child is a hard task to do. As old chinese saying that children  are able to live 100 years, their parents must take care of them more than 99 years. Education is a way to teach them so as to comprehend basic knowledge which are adaptable and functionable on the global society. Also, it is an effective method to train their minds for all the angles.
