Hi, 阿胡

恭喜，恭喜！

我昨天問阿仔想不想轉新校，佢話不知道，兩間學校都喜歡．RC是否有好有錢人讀？



Year 4的小朋友才8歲吧? 我相信他會很快喜歡RC的.

我的小朋友不是讀RC, 不知道是否是好有錢人讀. 我估計是中產偏上吧.

我想有兩句話應該不會錯:

1) 香港最有錢的應該不會讀RC;
2) 香港最有錢的應該不會上BK.

哈哈. 開個玩笑.

真是很難回答你呀.

我大兒子是讀完P5後轉去IS讀中學一年級(美國grade 6). 當時真是糊裡糊塗的. 轉學基本上是基於兩點: 一是想讓他去美國讀大學, 二是覺得他英文同他同齡IS學生有明顯差距. 當時真是不知道讀IS會 ...

want my daughter to study in IS

thanks so much for so many advices from all of you.  

I heard that it is easier to get into Kowloon Junior School with a good reference letter and when afterwards we'll be offered a seat in KGV.  Is this true?

Besides, can any one advise me on the difference of syllabus of IS and normal local school.  We have been trying to appy for local famous primary school but no luck.  Appreciated..

I still cannot come to a compromise with my husband because he always thinks that it will be a nightmere for my daughter to adapt.  However, it will be easier for her to transter to IS when she is still small (in fact my daughter is quite confident to make this change).  Will it be possible for my daughter to transfer back to normal secondary stream after maybe several years in IS..... so many worries!!

Thanks

It is very difficult for non-ESF students to get into KGV or SC at Year 7 or 8 now as they no longer receive applications from outside in the recent years.  All places are filled up by ESF primary s ...

A good reference letter can get you into KJS and KGV?  If it works, I believe all parents will do it!!  Who tell you this?  Maybe Donald Tsang can??  

If transferred to international secondary school, the cirriculum and exam system is all different from local, so don't think you can transfer back to local.   If you really plan like this, I think it is better not to change to IS, as I believe your kid will be getting nowhere.

完全同意上面WYmom所講. 你這樣來回轉學, 不光小朋友慘過小白鼠, 而且一定行不通.

另外, 就是讀完IS中學再在香港讀大學, 都不是個好選擇, 除非港大讀醫等幾個少數專業. 雖然IS學生可以通過non-jupas進入本地大學, 但由於好多方面銜接都有問題, IS學生往往處於不利地位. 這方面也不是三言兩語可以講得清楚的.

nice to hear so many comments from all of you!

i am thinking if my daughter study in IS primary, is she able to apply local secondary school? In my personal opinion, children can learn language (speaking English) easily and better when they're younger like primary. After her English foundation is good (can speak well etc), we 'may ' let her study in local secondary school n local university due to budget issue....

can anyone give me some comments? it is really difficult to pick either IS or local .....

It is possible but...

1. There are not many secondary schools suitable or will accept students from IS because the Chinese standard of IS students are generally lower than local.  Currently, only some new DSS will take students from IS such as YMCA,  Creative Secondary as I know.  Maybe there are a lot more when your kid grows up.

2. It is harder for a kid to switch from IS to local rather than the other way round as the teaching method and workload of IS and local schools are very different.  I believe many people already know this.

Some elite schools offer French from Form One (eg DGS, GHS, not 100% though for now). Students can choose French instead of Chinese if they want. This was very "fashionable" at my time as a student.

I think the problem would be, like WYMom said, the workload instead. Plus, the crazily competitive atmosphere (which is no longer exclusive to the few elite schools) might put too much stress to both the child and the parents.

I am not sure if the financial burden would really be that light, since I know that almost all students in elite schools (I presume you would not want to settle for a band 3 school) are going to after school tutorial classes - some even have their own private tutors for single subjects. And to be honest, it really appears to me that those tutorial classes or private tutors are really needed.

IS 轉 local, 很多網友都有提及課程銜接的問題. 這不一定是指 local 課程深, IS 淺, 而是大家追求的知識和目標不同而已.

不過, 小朋友的適應力是很強的, 加上天資, 能順利轉變課程亦不奇. 但有另一方面更要考慮 , 就是 :

IS 鼓勵學生多思考、多討論、多懷疑、多發問、主動性強、討厭死記死背、敢於 speak out 表達自己所想.  

試想想將他/她放回傳统學校, 有可能會格格不入, 甚至會被視為一個用流利英語挑戰老師權威的「麻煩友」, 對小朋友的壓抑可以很大, 要有心理預備, 需要一點 EQ 去適應.

愚見以為, 如果以純粹希望學英文的心態去讀 IS, 而不理會她們的教學理念, 是很容易會失望, 但又「如入寶山空手回」的.
