小女今年升小四, 但成績一向麻麻, 尤其是數學, 担心她小六時派位派得不好, 我不希望她讀BAND 3 的學校, 是否可以讀國際學校, 或有其他CHOICE, 國際學校可以有那些選擇, THANKS.

你小朋友的英文程度怎麼樣? 其實讀國際學校的學生亦付出很多, 他們多愛看書及會很自發性地寫英文日記/文章。
如果英文的程度不太好, 你的小朋友會追得好辛苦。

希望你唔好介意我直言

如果你小朋友是一名Band 3 本地生, 轉學制(轉IS)不可能令她變 Band 1 IS生, 即是她很大機會只能入到一些唔popular的國際學校, 唔popular有好些原因, 當然校風或成績都是其中一些重要原因, 換句話說由Band 3本地生轉為Band 3 IS生, 有必要嗎?

我只覺得轉學制不是最好的出路, 找出你小朋友的問題才是方法.

其實國際學校唔係避難所，如果英文根底唔夠小朋友艱適應，會讀得好辛苦，幫小朋友搵出原因可盡快解決

I wish to share with an actual case.

My son's classmate went to a Band 3 secondary school after completion of the Primary School. My son switches to an international school while his classmate continued to study at that Band 3 school until HKCEE. His score was 10. His parent then arranged him to study a boarding school in UK.

Because the different approach experienced by him, he picked up very well. After the first year, his AS level examinations were very impressive. His school recommended him to apply to Cambridge under the Wider Participation Scheme. [If your school's overall performance in public examinations is consistently lower than the national fitures as well as the schools in your district and your result is better than other students in your school, then the elite college would consider your application under the Wider Participation Scheme.]

At the interview, he successfully explained to the Cambridge Admission Tutor why there was such a great change in his academic performance under the two different education system. At the end of the day, he was given an offer to study science at Cambridge with the conditions of AAA, which was lower than their traditional offer of A*AA. At the end of the day, my son's classmate graduated with a first class honour from Cambridge.

This is very encouraging.  

shs3, there is no harm for you to try to switch your child from local to international as long as you know what are you looking for in the international cirriculum.  Your child is only p4 and parents should not underestimate children's ability to adopt to changes.

Yes, it is very encouraging indeed. Some students who get used to local system may not fit the international school system. It may lower their performance. On the other hand, some students may not perform well in local system but may stand out in another system if the other system fits them. There is no right or wrong to put a child in local system or international school system. Many students study in international school still could not perform well. Likewise, one could not say international school is better than local school and vice versa.

It's worthwhile to switch to a less popular IS first. If he performs well in one or two years, he can switch to a top tier IS then. Some creative kids don't like memorization in local schools.

An impressive story!! Somehow people will have their"click" sooner or later. I also had a click after HKCEE. My mother still impressed by my change and keeps talking about that for now. It had been more than 20 years though.

So when I saw my elder daughter, I saw a mirror of myself. Or be specific, she has been performing well above me at the same age, but still not been treated as a bright student. I hope her click will come soon:)

I think you need to help your daughter to find her way to learn, that's what we called "learn to learn".  It is not easy, as individuals will have their own way to learn. Once she finds it, she will be back on track very fast.

Thanks to all.
