急！聖羅撒與培正

Market

我的女在培正讀小四，考到聖羅撒小五插班生。請問各位家長會選擇哪間學校多些？(我住荔枝角區)謝謝。

我的女不是由培正幼稚園升上去的，她在小三升小四的時候自己考入去。在這一年中，她在培小適應得很好，成績也很好。但聽很多家長說，培中是中中，將來銜接大學有困難，所以幫她報考了聖羅撒和葵青的仁立小學，現两間都收取，所以左右為難，女女自己很想留在培小。可不可以告知，你的女女考到哪一間幼稚園，你又會選擇哪一間？

Market,

Is it good for your daughter to change school frequently? I feel that it's also necessary to 'listen' the voice from your young girl. Maybe you can find the answer!

Take it easy!

下!!!!你囡囡小四先轉入培正,而家先一年,為乜又轉呢??培正有乜唔好呀??呢d要問下用家---你囡,既意見先得架,唔好唔夠一年又去轉(仲要兩間添),你真係有d虐待兒童,你囡咁叻女,都唔好咁對佢呀.
間間學校都有優點&缺點架啦,有時唔入到去,都唔會知架,人地講兩句,你就攪到個女周身唔得閒,為乜呢???來緊呢兩年又要考呈分試啦,你唔好再折騰佢啦,俾d機會佢選擇,只要佢讀得開心,就有好成績,咁到時去邊間中學都得啦.

Dear ChingChingFather,3G,JP,Candice:
首先非常非常地感謝你們的回應。你們誠懇的一番說話淋醒了我優柔寡斷的心，說真的我並不想令我的女這麽辛苦，實在是我對香港的教育制度了解太少。我自小在大陸長大，開開心心一路讀完了大學，没有什麽壓力，也不怎麽辛苦，我一直都以為好的成績就可以找到一所好學校，但當我大女開始考小學的時候，我才發現事實卻不完全是這樣的。我女有15分的情况下，入了長沙灣的聖紀文小學。本来既来之，則安之，我都想她平平穩穩讀完小學。誰知該校先生的質素太參差了，連續三年都碰不上一個好老師，幾乎所有學生都要回家補習，家長們怨聲四起。雖然我的女都能年年考全级第一，但我認為那不是她的成績，她常常埋怨學校先生講書時不解釋內容，翻過就算，她讀得不開心，就算考一百分也是没有用的，所以我决定幫她轉學，她也欣然接受。我選培正，并不因為它是一所名校，而是聽在讀的朋友子女說，培正的老師是多麽認真與負責。在我女轉學之前，我還不清楚香港是有分中中和英中的。我在大陸接受的是文法式的英文教學，并不能支援女女讀英文中學。上到中學，一切都是靠自己的了。我女很喜歡培正，最不捨得培正的老師。但很多朋友都對我女說英中的出路會好些，我的女女很好強，凡是對她有益的事，再怎麽辛苦她都會去爭取。我問她選擇哪間學校，她就答我選間將來有前途的學校。何謂‵有前途′？我真的不晓怎樣答她，她還這麽小，將來的路這麽長。做人父母責任真是太大了。
無論怎樣，我都很感謝各位，衷心祝愿你們的仔仔女女如愿以尝，聰明加好運(這是香港社會小朋友需要的)。

Market,

I am sorry to said very straight forward that the main problem is your mind, neither the shool nor your lovely daughter.  From you message I can understand you are very care with your daughter's future (most of the parents do).  On the other hand I totally agree with those parnets who gave you comment.
Do you think it's good keep on changing school for your kid just because you heard somebody said this and that.  If you are so concern about your kid why don't you do a detail research in every aspect before you make any decision.
I think you said "我問她選擇哪間學校，她就答我選間將來有前途的學校。" It's a pity for a P4 girl to say 有前途的學校. May be your daughter concern very much about your feeling and worries. A Primary student should be happy studying and learn the real meaning of study.  Study is for whole life, doesn't mean after university is finished studying.    Why don't you stand on her point and understand her feeling and needs.
If you changed her to a new school in P4 and you hear something bad about this new school.  Will you consider to change her to a another school in P6?

Dear ChingChingFather:
I choose Pui Ching at last,because that's my daughter's favourite. I also hope she has a happy school life.She had  got the school report of this year.luckly, she got two certificate of merits and scholarship. So she don't want to change to another school.She likes Pui Ching very much.
Thanks for your opinions.
Best Regards,

Dear Market,

I think it's a good decision for your daughter because it's her personal CHOICE.

Hope she enjoys her school life in Pui Ching. Personally, I like Pui Ching very much and my son will be in K1 this year in Pui Ching.  :

Dear ChingChingFather,
很多時在BK見到你對其它家長的回應，相信你是個熱心之人，希望你對我的一些請教不會感到厭煩。
決定了小女的小學去向，心中暫時放下了一块石頭。依你之見，小女小學畢業時，是否應該幫她找一間更好的英文中學呢？例如：油麻地真光，深水埗寶血會上智，九龍塘聖家等。老實說，我自己的英文真是貧乏得很，更談不上對女兒的支持，這樣的環境，小女上到英中會不會有很大壓力？雖然現在在培小她的英文成绩保持在95-98，英文劍橋Mover也拿了满分，但我認為那些測試都不是太艱深的，同英文小學的學生比，可能reading and writing相差不是很遠，但listening and speaking可能就差了一截了。小女本身也愛好文科，作文常能得第一，數學也不差，是學校奧數隊員。好似我女這樣的情況，她是讀文科好還是理科好？讀英中好還是中中好？你能给我一些建議嗎？
或許我想得太遠了，不過既然是你想她來到這世上，你就應對她們負責，想多一些好過不想吧！
衷心祝福你們全家！

Market,

Glad to know that you have made yr decision for yr daughter. Actually, my daughter also study in PC and will promote to P2. I did not give any comment to you before as I think may be I will be subjective.

As your daugther is really very very clever and mature, no need to worry for her, for her result, if you don't want to choose PC Secondary school, you will have a lot of choice. Don't worry la !

Actually, my daughter also like PC very much, she enjoy her school life and I agree the teacher is very kind and good.  

For my own opinion, if the child love the school or enjoy their school life, it will help them in studying.

梗係揀聖羅撒啦．．．．培正好似係中中黎個喎∼

Certainly, I will choose St. Rose of Lima (聖羅撒).
This is the prima reason I choose St. Rose of Lima Kindergarten for my daughter.
Cos I believe she will be brought up in a lovely environment.

Dear market,

I think you made a great decision to stay (even though the other school may be very good). Both my two kids attend Pui Ching primary.  I can see both of them have developed good personality, made good friends and are eager to learn.  

The teachers are dedicated.  I'm aware and feel same concern on the English.  My girl used to come home and tell me some teacher cannot pronounce right.
However, I personally don't believe  English comes first.  Personality and eagerness to learn (meaning finding fun and satisfaction in learning) is more important for me.

We read once in Pui Ching magazine that their HKCEE (Form 5) result in English is just similar to HK average; which to many parents + me, a big concern.  

However, lots of Pui Ching graduates studys in overseas universities; mainly N America.

So far Pui Ching's alumni association is the strongest I'm aware of.   Alumni gathering are frequent and they even organize in all main cities in N America.  Last year a group of present secondary student also attend a tour with Alumni gatherings on the west coast.

Even though quite traditional, we can feel the school is making effort to adopt update teaching methods.  I especially like they arrange talks for parents 2 to 3 times a year on Sat am.  We always go.

By the way, is your girl P5 or P4 in Sep.  My boy will be P4 in Sep.

On the issue on secondary school, I understand and agree with your concern, especially if she is good in language and writing.  Pui Ching also offer support for student with good language skill. e.g. creative writing workshop in Chinese and English drama workshop.  My girl apply and is chosen to both (like yours, she is strong in language).  The teacher for Chinese creative writing class is a famous writer Ms Law Lai Huen (I may have translated wrongly) and my girl said she learnt a lot.  For English drama, they really get all the best English students from P5 and P6.  Even though their performance is not too good due to backward stage sound system (lucky to learn they will re-build the very old assembly hall at last), I know my girl and her friends are very very happy with the drama workshop.

Pui Ching is a good school, not judging from reputation, but from my personal experience.  However, that does not mean your concern for Secondary school in English is not valid.  But since your girl is smart, getting a good grade in Pui Ching will get her in many doors as well.  In fact, my girl just left Pui Ching and transfer to international school.  However, I believe my boy will most likely stay for Pui Ching Secondary.  We have to make our decision on case to case basis pending on the kid; that I more than agree with ChingChing Father.

One last comment, you are lucky.  I saw the mails on your topic are more positive/supportive while on similar topic "ui Ching vs Ying Wa" the debate are a bit too harsh.  Even though I grow up in HK, as a parent, I find it hard and worrying just like you.  We all need supportive words....
