Re: DBSPD intervew

Rham, thank you very much for your 提醒, it is inspiring! Thinking back, me and my husband really have put academic results of a school on TOP priority of our selection criteria (a long story which involve lots of peer group influence and pressure)... Maybe it's now a time to have a change - be more flexible lu.
Would you share more with me about what criteria you've used? I want to learn more from other parents (me and my husband are the same type and we could be wrong). Million thanks!
You have asked a difficult question. I am also struggling with this as well.
My dream school is:
Academic excellence
+ caring
+ good campus and facilities
+ moral education
+ peer group
(no particular order)
Academic excellence =
emphasis on language proficiencies (a good reading programme)
+ project based learning to stimulate the children to go beyond syllabuses in different subjects
+ all rounded curriculum
+ NOT drilling just for exams (I don't mean no exercises)
Caring =
teachers are loving and empathic
+ catering for the developmental differences and characters of individuals
+ not pressuring the children to do something they are not ready
+ NOT laissez-faire
School campus =
new + spacious + green + safe
Moral education =
discipline + humble + kind + responsible
+ independent critical thinking
but NOT strict for the sake of being strict
Peer group =
Good parents + kids are cooperative + team spirit + exposure
+ NOT too "inch"
But of course, there is NO SUCH SCHOOL that can achieve excellence in all of the above. The teaching staff need to be superhuman in all aspects to achieve that. The school board must have a very clear vision and strong support to the school. Are these all just wishful thinking?
Afterall, we don't normally have the connection to understand the schools deep enough to make a choice. And most often, we just don't have a choice: our kids are being chosen. And EMB has too much intervention to our education system and doing too much damages by taking away the choices of the parents and insisting on they are the ONLY authority in education theory.
My problem is that if one school is good in this and the other is good in that, which one should I choose?
It gives me a headache for thinking about these over and over again.
