hi meowpat,
Actually, I'm not very familiar with good primary schools in Hong Kong especially for girls. Please don't mind. I think your daughter is very clever and smart because she got accepte ...
Cheung,
Thanks, we are not familiar with the system and what are good and what are bad either. I only started the "game" a month ago when her Kindergarten told me that she is not qualified for the lottery. We knew she is under aged, but didn't realize that they won't accept her in the lottery. Little by little we found out more, no 直資 will grant her any interview. We don't even know what is the different between 直資 and private.....still don't know! Don't get us wrong, it's not that we don't care and love her, we didn't believe famous school will provide her with good education. So to hunt for the best was not our target, we thought she will go into the lottery and what ever school she gets, she will go. Then the bad news came and we had to find a private school for her unless we decide to hold her back one year. So guess what! We had sent applications to over 20 private schools because we didn't know any better and have been going to interviews like mad to personally see how the schools are!!
Luckily she doesn't feel pressure at all, she loves interviews, every time she went into an interview, we told her that her mission was not to be no. 1 or success in the interview, but to finish a mission in the interview. (for ex. to find a friend, to know 1 kids' full name, to know 3 kids' school names, or to know if one of the teacher has kids or what did one of the kid had for breakfast/lucnh.) So she went into the interview and always asking other kids' questions.... sometimes she even asked the teacher and the principal too. Couple of times, she came out from the interview holding other kids' hand who she just met. Few times, she didn't get any answers in the interview, she insisted to ask the principal
who was greeting us at the time.
This is really a very tiring task to find a school for your kid, no wonder people started
years ahead and all the preparation. Sometimes, I am really mad at the government, we are considering ourselves the middle class family, both work long long hours…..
paying lots of tax every year, never ask a cent from the government, medical bills paid by the company. Living in an apartment with a mortgage that makes the bank fatter and fatter. Paying monthly to both side parents, so that they don’t live on the few pity cents from the government. The only thing we need from our beloved government is to have a good and trustworthy education system for our little ones. We told people “we love Hong Kong”, but sometimes I just wonder why do we love Hong Kong?
We can’t live on the “wonton noodle”, “milk tea”, harbor view, Bruce Lee, TST bell tower… or Queens' Pier forever? Right?
