I live in net 41. I received a letter from education dept asking me to submit further proof of my address. Finally my son was allocated to a school in Wong Tai Sin.
佢地可以就近入學唔駛山長水遠,可能仲開心
=> I think if they don't need to study in school, they may be more happy (for kids)!!!!!!
It is their own choice (山長水遠入學 or 就近入學).
It is unfair for the education nets. Why some kids can study in 'good' school if they live around? Why some kids can't because they are not living around?
They all pay tax for HKG! They should have equal chance to study in their 'ideal' school.
P.S. How can make sure that if you rent a flat around, you will lives in the same address in the coming 6 years?????????
呢個問題永遠無圓滿答案 => yes, it has.
If everyone has the same/equal chance
=>fair
If someone has larger chance then others
=>unfair
P.S.
I get the benifits in this unfair system. It is because I (and my husband) studied in net 34 primary schools. Therefore, I don't need to worry about the address (I live in net 95) as I can add points as grad. student in round 1.
However, I find a lot of my friends try to 借地址抽 to increases the chance for their kids to study in their 'ideal' school. At the same time, a lot of schools complain that they can't chose their students by themselves....... Then, I feel the 'game' is unfair!
What I worry is: if the game keep continuous, all / most of the 'best' school don't join the game and becomes 直資 / 私立.
Then, only the rich people can study in 'good' school as they have $. And the poor can't as they can't support school fee!

點先公平?呢個問題永遠無圓滿答案。你話it is their own choice去山長水遠返學,但亦有好多人選擇就近入學,唔想下下坐成個鐘車,由天水圍去柴灣返學。但如果全港任抽,肯定有人屋企附近的學位,比"their own choice"嘅人霸咗,被 ...
for most of people:
fair => when they get benefits in the game.
unfair => when they can't get any benefits.
as a third person:
fair => everyone get equal chance

I agreed. My girl got a place in an ideal school 3 years ago but my son got a place out of our area and the school is far from good.
The game is unfair. 1st round -- why children who have connection with the school can have a bigger chance. 2nd round -- why children who are living around can have a bigger chance. There is nothing relating to the ability or suitability of the children.
The situation induce some parents move to the area or using a false address.
I think the best way is let both the parents and schools have the right to choose. At least we don't need to play the game for a year's time. We can enjoy the summer holiday and get ready for the new school life.

如果靠面試筆試,好似TelleTelleMom咁講,let both the parents and schools have the right to choose,又係咪公平?首先小朋友要drill一輪去面試,已經實有人話苦了孩子;另外,一定有人話要入某某學校,要靠人事,靠有錢,靠家庭背境...當學校有收生權時,都會被指有不公平情況。

Did you read the news on 5 June: A Chinese woman who applied the working visa to HK, and she only applied - she said, only one school ~ La Salle, then her son finally got the place. You see, what is fair game?!
But the fact is most of the parents do apply for DSS and private schools as back up and if the result of central allocation is not good (or even good) then they will knock door again ... so the children still need to drill and face the presure of inteview. What I mean is to shorten the length of the game and save the manpower. Maybe the gov't can set up a system to avoid parents holding more than one school place until a particular time so that the other children and get a place and settle down as soon as possible.
I like your suggestion, and I also think the govt should release the lucky draw results earlier to shorten the anxious wait, as well as allow more time for the parents and kids to prepare for whatever the result is.
