大家覺得rightmind點

rightmind點涵接小學

我都有參觀過在海怡的校址, 覺得他們的辦校方法好好, 但好想知讀完k3之後是否只可用攪珠方式選心目中的小學呢?

另讀緊的家長覺得呢間學校點呢?  他不是學劵的, 是否物有所值呢?  同傳統的幼稚園又點選擇呢?

Hi boboc,
Did Rightmind get back to you about the school bus arrangement?  I live in Tsuen Wan and am interested in putting my son in their South Horizon campus.  But same as you, travelling time is an issue.

我支持右腦教學, 課程亦不差, 只欠行政問題, 所以是否物有所值, 見人見智啦. 可能學校未能打出名堂, 小朋友都是靠自己考小學, 其中可能報ISF比較有着數, 學校曾推介ISF, 但學費太貴.

I'm new here, and don't recognise there is a forum about RM Kinder. until recently.

Our kid learns happily there :)

Generally the kids learn a lot of English words and Chinese characters (even very difficult ones).  Parents should be prepared to have extra time with the kids for physical exercises b'cos the curriculum is already rich and full that doesn't allow the luxury of much physical activities.  Yet, I'm quite convinced that most of the kids learn happily and enjoy their school life.

The school admin has yet to improve a lot.  This is true for every new school, including RM kinder and is something parents should bear in mind.  Principal Lo seems to be a very dedicated and committed lady.  We hope that under her steer, the kinder will get better and better.

Many others have commented that the kinder is very commercial (including its sister group KinderU).  Apparently it is true, esp Mr Ho who may be speaking too much.  He might be very eager in doing so, taking pride in the process too.  But yet it may give an impression of "hard selling" which you know may not sound comfortable to the audience.  (also, he is used to speaking English and PTH very much, besides Cantonese.  Well, he is very fluent in these languages.  But, being a DBS alumnus and a lawyer by profession, he does not speak very good English in my opinion (Mrs Ho's English pronunciation is far better).  Neither does he speak proper PTH, esp he's weak in many sounds such as /zh/ /ch/ /sh/.

I trust that most parents love this kinder b'cos of the teaching method and the language environment.  Paying some $4,000 per month, you'll get three teachers in a class (one NET, one native PTH teacher and one teacher assistant) which is quite a fair deal.  Also, as I have said, the curriculum is rich and full.  It's worth paying the money.

i think plenty of forums will come, as you say, Mr Ho is always ready to give talk, you can absolutely attend more than 1 forum.  Personally, he is a charming speechmaker.

The kinder uses flashcards in teaching languages and children get use to picturize the words and are difficult to spell the words properly.  They usually mix up similar spelling words, parents need to take extra effort to rectify.

For the physical training, the kinder has an active zone and build a huge crawling playground.  The kids have a lot of time spending in it and also driving car.

The school admin, as i said before, poor.  Keep changing school bus & school bus driver without prior notice to parents, always late to school, never pass the bus route to parent.  The school calendar changes at the school convenience, only give short (shock) notice to parent of sudden holiday.  No school and no class under red rainstorming is hoisted before class (even you've already arrived at the school).  

I don't mind the school to be commercial or not, yet, it's a private school and we're paid to buy the service.  I only concern if the curriculum is delivered as promised.  $4,000 or more a month for billingual training, you still have so many choices in the market, some are running with good reputation.

Thomas1,

你好, 我BB今年9月將會在RIGHTMIND讀N1班, 一直有聽聞他的行政比較混亂, 加上最近因交DEPOSIT, 或收他的通知等書信來往等等...經歷過後就更是不安....幸好打電話去查詢他們都是有禮的, 才感覺好一點...

看了你的POST後, 可以請教一下嗎?

1. 以你所知, 是不是大部分的學生SPELLING 都比較弱呢?  那中文書寫又如何? 而英/普的聽講能力又是否達國際學校的水評?
2. 學校行政如始混亂, 有沒有家長向校方反映過? 校方又如何處理? 始終學校與家長的溝通是很重要的!
3. 以你所知, 是否所有的校車都會遲到達學校? 那小朋友都是準時上車的嗎? 因為我的BB也是打算搭校車的, 所以十分擔心~

謝謝你的幫忙!

Hi,

我係新加入的.  我覺得小朋友開心是應該的,其他幼稚園的小朋友都開心喎.坊間的幼稚園好多都是三文兩語啦,亦都是個英文老師和普通話老師再加QKD喎.......

小朋友接觸這些有深度的書,有沒有人講解呢?如果只識讀而不知其意, 有用嗎?

講什麼話都假,$4000不算貴但亦不算平囉...最緊要係老師係咪懂得教小朋友先(質疑外籍教師識講不識教),國際學校老師會唔會時常轉先? 聽講開辦至今已經換了數個校長喎.....小朋友會點呢??????

Apparently yes.  But one has to be careful.  For instance, the so-called PTH teacher might not really be one having good PTH proficiency.  I had the experience of visiting a famous kinder (a chain group starting with the letter "V"), the PTH teacher spoke terrible PTH.

小朋友接觸這些有深度的書,有沒有人講解呢?如果只識讀而不知其意, 有用嗎?

I guess you are referring to 中華字經.  Personally I also find the Chinese characters really difficult, even general HK locals cannot pronounce some words in Cantonese.  We also had a family discussion over the concern you raised.  We find that for simpler ones, the PTH teacher would try to explain to the kids, but for those really difficult ones, it would not be practical to make things clear to a group of 2-year-old kids.  Well, it doesn't matter as we look at the way the right brain works.  We try to impress on the right brain the sound and shape of individual characters before they reach the age of 6, and that would somehow become longer term memory.  When the kids grow older and come across the Chinese characters, that memory will work.

Besides 中華字經, the kinder also teaches 弟子規 (which is now quite popular in local kinders).  The Chinese characters are relatively simpler and their meaning is more appealing to be taught to small kids like mine.  Take for instance, "父母呼  應勿緩" is more easily teachable by class master and comprehensible by kids at such a young age.

講什麼話都假,$4000不算貴但亦不算平囉...最緊要係老師係咪懂得教小朋友先(質疑外籍教師識講不識教),國際學校老師會唔會時常轉先? 聽講開辦至今已經換了數個校長喎.....小朋友會點呢??????

Well, you are quite right that it would be a big problem if the NETs don't know how to teach.  As far as the class of our kid is concerned, we find that both the NET and the native PTH teacher are very dedicated and caring, and they are much welcomed by the kids.  Together with the teaching assistant, the three people have stayed from last Sep up to now (perhaps we are lucky).  Regarding the change of principal, I would consider it a good sign b'cos the new princinpal is actually not new, but has joined the kinder group for 18 years (according to a recent speech by Mr Ho).  She is from RM kinder (Chi Fu) and definitely she knows more clearly the VMV (i.e. vision, mission and values) of the kinder group (I guess the previous principal(s) might be too new in this respect).

Hi Debbie

行政混亂就真係有待改善, 我就等咗2年, 仲要等, 希望好似cornelius話齌, 以Principal Lo咁dedicated and committed既領導下快d有改善啦.我亦贊同reception兩位姐姐好有禮, 但當然梗係行政安排妥當, 唔需家長經常電話查詢比較好.

個人愚見:
1. 其實小朋友SPELLING, 英/普聽講能力好壞, 好睇家長同屋企點配合. 自小就只睇英文故事, 卡通, 聽英/普歌, 聽力方面差極有限. 但要小朋友講英/普, 就要靠學校老師多與小朋友交談, 令佢地習慣講英/普. 但老師流失率/突發性放假時間都幾大/長. 至於spelling, 學校又好似冇考d小朋友喎, 重點唔係放喺呢道. 學校推行右腦教學, 只要求學生認字. 中文書寫就k2至開始訓練, 如果要同傳統幼稚園比較, 一定差d, 始終係國際學校嘛. (順帶一提, 達國際學校水平? 好似連學校d通告都未達此水平喎)
2. 大部份家長比得$4000/mth, 一定對學校有所要求, 點會唔反映意見? 有成效就唔洗繼續等學校改善啦, 不過學校絶對唔會拒絶同家長溝通既.
3. 上校車時間可以有20+分鐘差距, 不過學校都有向校車公司反映, 如學校所講, 校車壞車, 交通擠塞, 學校控制唔到. 學校話其實每日都容許15mins比小朋友settle, 真正教學時間通常遲15mins, 所以小朋友都唔算遲.  其實搭校車, 家長最擔心係司機揸車安全問題, 司機質素, 不過有得揀, 梗係自已帶番校安全d啦.

希望答到你d問題啦.

cornelius

Haha, this is really true.  It is not difficult to find minor grammatical mistakes in school notices or letters.  As this would affect the image of the kinder, I think its mgt should pay more effort in proofreading the correspondence beforehand.

Btw, how come there are so many "thomasX" at the same time?
