讓活潑好動小朋友到比較傳統的pn班,學規矩和紀律, Work嗎?

mamath

可否討論和分享各位的經驗, 以便為小朋友選擇合適的學校?

我都諗緊究竟應該朝相反方向揀學校等佢可以彌補不足，抑或順住佢性格等佢繼續發揮下去。

我小朋友係非常活潑探索型，唔係好坐得定。有諗過想改善佢呢個問題第時試下俾佢讀D紀律性強D靜態D學術D嘅學校培養下專注力守秩序服從性，例如讀KV(發下夢)，不過佢要適應而返學未必開心。但又諗下，佢呢個性格都有佢嘅優點長處，如果俾佢讀維記或者St Cat(再發夢) 佢一來會開心D，二來學校如果可以將佢嘅性格優點誘發得好嘅話應該會事半功倍！

兩難！

Is yours a boy or girl?  I think our kids are about the same type.  Mine likes to explore and since we allowed him to crawl / walk / run freely at home, he's active and curious.  Yet he can sit well to read books if he finds them interesting.

But still this question confuses me a lot.  I actually tested him in some 靜態 playgroups but he doesn't enjoy it much.  I raised the same question to playgroup teachers before but they all said that my boy is still young and it's natural that he's active...  I am worried that PN classes like KV or even Funful will be too traditional to him.  

Welcome mama's or papa's comments!

我個仔，記性好，理解力強，一係靜靜自己玩，一係就發癲
N班初期好自我，老師上堂佢就自己行去睇字咭，讀同學仔嘅名
上K1都係坐唔定！
最終用咗一個學期令佢識上堂！
但事實呢？老師覺得佢唔係太參與，問佢嘢就識，咁佢坐响度又唔騷擾人，了解佢嘅老師就會問吓佢嘢，唔了解佢嘅老師就話佢上堂好靜

其實我都有過傳統vs活動嘅迷思，但係活動教學嘅成果好似未見到，揀傳統好似穩陣d

Am I right that your son is now in a "traditional" kindergarten? So far he does not refuse / dislike going to school?

mamath

Sometimes I also wonder whether HK education style kills the children's creativity. It only allows the kids to learn in the same way/method, they lose their curiosity when they grow up and only know how to follow the others' instructions. Is it because of this learning styles, HK people needs to work like a dog now? The european and american can earn money much more easily..

Exactly! Mine is a girl and she loves exploring anywhere she goes. She is not afraid of new environment; instead, she walks around and touches everything she can reach while all other kids sat still and only played with the toys in front of them. This happened to all her interviews and playgroup experiences, and of course some schools love this type and some don't.

However, when she finds a book or puzzle or anything interesting (like a tape on her playmat) she could focus on it for quite a while.. haha hope this is not a sign of hyperactive but I love to see her enjoying herself in new places and not afraid of strangers!

Glad to know that my son is not alone!  Well, mind sharing which schools do you think I should arrange for my son?  Coz I don't want to interview for too many times...

Is international school the only way to go then? I wouldn't say my boy is active but he doesn't afraid of strangers and could enjoy himself with new environment. I believe most of our kids are full of curiosity at this early stage but when time flies and learning under HK style education, they will soon hesitate to try new things. Lost confident to talk and express themselves.

The point is I couldn't support him going to IS in HK.

I love this post, it's more like a heartfelt sharing than arguing which school provides stronger academics :)

I think semi-international schools will be my target but there are not many choices out there. Well, they are also the most competitive ones in HK nowadays coz I think most parents would want to escape from HK traditional education system but cannot afford IS... so we may end up pushing our kids again to get into these schools.. Aiiii... pathetic!

Thanks.  I sincerely want to address my son's needs in deciding the best school for him.  Maybe this post is not attractive to parents who care academics more.... I wonder if most of the kids are that quiet and that this is a non issue for them?

Anyway, I guess the schools you referred to were IB or activity based DSS schools.  While the phsilosphy of IB is good, I have reservation about its implementation as this is rather new in HK.  The traditional education curriculum has its own merits, though we are all afraid of its homework and exams...

近日兩單倫常慘案令我更加唔知選邊種學校比BB讀好紀律訓練強既傳統學校?又怕迫得太緊.........國際學校?又擔心會唔會太自由放縱....大左會唔會易學吸毒.....

我個b而家先3個月，路以為有排先要諗，而家好擔心。個人梗係想佢玩得開心啲自由啲啦！但我嗰個係超百厭同挑戰權威既人，永遠唔會俾你話事嗰啲，又真係擔心唔知會唔會玩創個心

3個月就看出他的挑戰權威性格?

國際學校的學生因為接觸的知識范圍廣泛，接觸人種較多，因此會較為open-minded，但不代表學壞的可能性就更大。家庭教育對一個人品行上的熏陶及約束更加重要。

我個女同樣屬于好動、探索型、人際交往能力強（我自愧不如）。分析黎分析去，我會比她讀國際幼稚園，一路IS學校升上去。因老師都幫我分析過，認為她在這類幼稚園會更加得心應手，能力可以得到最大發揮。而如果她讀非常傳統、紀律要求非常高的幼稚園，她活潑好動的性格會得到遏制，甚至有可能影響返學的興趣。

當然，國際學校較為活潑的學習環境更加要求一名小朋友有學習主動性。如同樣一份國際學校的作業，題目是發散型的，不設正確答案的情況下，自律較差的小朋友就做完了事，而要求上進的小朋友會花大量時間完成一份作業，改進再改進，盡善盡美，在這過程中他會學到比本地課程更加寬泛的知識。

至于紀律和個人品行方面，我家家教很嚴，相信不會因為讀IS學校而培養出黎一個混世魔王

I can guess, and that's why you are more relaxed in monitoring the discipline.  For many working mums, this may not be easy.

Discipline and Chinese are two key concerns to me in sending kids to IS schools.

咁樣既話，不如選活動教學的傳統幼稚園，如香港靈糧堂呢種，小朋友好乖，又可培養創造能力，保留住孩子的好奇心
