wahhhhh so logical.  

if you think that so many interview styles are unfair then why, apparently, are you so venomous towards one school only?  [don't tell me it is because this is a pre-existing thread and you happened to be contributing here).

is there an agenda somewhere?

HOW am I not being logical ??

"In fact, I can quote a number of examples if you wish."

OK, PLEASE do...I would be VERY interested which school's interview format you have experienced that you think it TOTALLY fair and square.

I went to TWO interviews today with our daughter. And honestly, these interviews took over 1.5 hours. My daughter came out of one of them and said, Mommy, I have NO idea what we were doing in there, just draw anything I want, and then we watched a cartoon, and then they asked me questions in Putonghua (when I specifically requested the interview in English)... guess the school still wants to try to see whether my daughter knows ANY putonghua.

Not ONCE was my daughter interviewed one on one. WORSE of all, it's a very well known hard to get in school... the principal of the school never even showed her face ONCE. Got all these teachers to break us into small groups, and just let us ASK questions. Ridiculous.

The other school was  much better, 1.5 hours, my daughter came out telling me she was doing activities in groups, a teacher talks to her while she is doing the workbook, and folding papers... then one by one had interview questions in English and Cantonese.... 1.5 hours. And she said she watched a cartoon as well. But no questions asked about the cartoon.

I am curious... so you don't have a girl applying to DGJS  ... so why in the world are you attacking Mrs Dai and DGJS ?! ??

I recommend that you save your time, and energy on something that is relevant to you.

If you didn't try the interview in person, I don't think you have ANY rights or judgement to say anything negative about the interview.

I am just a 'passer-by", but I read all the 'discussions' with interest. I don't have any girl, so I hadn't applied to DGJS at all.

For what it's worth, I think for every 'famous' school, there will be a number of places 'reserved' for those who are either -

- connected;or
- well off / professional;or
- know the school board / principal; or
- have contribution to the school; or
- famous; or
- all of the above.

So unless their children perform badly at interviews, they will almost certainly be accepted.

Then there will be some places left for those who are really bright & smart and who get admitted by their own merit.  And for experienced principal, a 2-3 mins' interview is enough for them to make an impression on the principal.  

Hence every year nearing this P1 application time, there will be endless debate or discussions about this and invariably, there will be some who knows "so and so" whose child was admitted eventhough he/she was dumb but well off/connected,  and there would be others who know "so and so" who was from ordinary/ humble family and got in purely by own merit.

So it just depends on which 'group' you have come across......I have come across both, so I know both are true.....

No offence, just my humble view....

It is so ridiculous that at this stage, you still said that it was just 偏面之詞!!!

Do you still think that DGJS offers only 2-3 mins interviews to most of the applicants is just 偏面之詞?

Or do you ...

校長可能見到家長們咁大反應, 順應民情, 要加時作賽.  如是者, 校長和工作人員實屬慘情, 虛耗時間更多.  把百多小時近一個月的面試時間用在真正教育改進方面更能得益.

問題不是一分鐘或一百分鐘, 是教育變質, 令大家無謂付出更多, 任何方面壓力更大, 更苦了孩子, 未真正入學已受吹谷.

NOBODY is marking ANYBODY in a group... unless your child is crying or not willing to participate, otherwise, the teachers don't know who is who. Trust me, a teacher told me so.

It's just so parents like you feel your child REALLY got a fair "interview."

Of course all "face to face interview" of the kid (i.e. asking questions what you referred) will only last for a few minutes.  

However, a real assessment will include a lot of other things rather th ...

以你講個女考CCKG個CASE, 咁係唔係話CCKG同DGJS一樣, 收學生唔係睇面試, 只要係佢嘅心水(eg. target background, parents' job, dgjs or cckg old girls, etc.), 無論IN成點都收呢??  咁wisekid講嗰D又幾對喎!

As my own experience in interviewing in CCKG last two years(when y daughter is 3 years old,her presentation skills was also very low),the duration of the interview is just about 5 to 10 minutes for my daughters and others.However,My daughter was offered a place in there finally even she was crying for me to accompanied with her at that moment.It is because they need to enter in the room,following the principle only.

-What do i think is...........
-We don't have any portfolio at that moment,I just given the pre-nursery school report and nothing else.
-My daughter was crying
-She was a 3 years old girl only.
-the short interview time
BUT.....The principle has her own judgement to select the children that she need,through the chatting time,the child's attitude and posture,the responsiveness........etc. The experienced principle can catch everything just in a short period of time.It just like an experienced doctor or nurse,when they just see you(out-look),they know what kind of disease you have,do you know what i mean?

Moreover,I have many friend's daughter studying there without any school relationship, but all of there are really smart and active.

I think if your child could be offered from DGJS,it is proved that she is a kind of children suitable for this school,on the other hand,if yours failed,it means that this school is not suit for her,so,you don;t need to disappointed and feel upset. It just a "progress"!!!

we are the party who make the stars, but we don't know.

偏面之詞 again.....it doesn't mean 100% of DGJS girl like this. By the way, Dai is not a super women...probably it is a wrong selection, right?

The interview format is fixed by the school itself and so to parents, it's simply a 'GO' or "NO GO' decision, right ?
