I always have the strong feeling that our kids are spending way too much time at the "whole day school"!! Take for example for my young son of 6 only (P1):
Statistics:
-Get up, breakfast, school bus etc 7am
-School 8 am to 3pm
-School bus home, tea/rest a bit 4pm
This is already talking about 9 hours!
-Extra activity+travelling 1.5hr
-Homework 1.5hr
-Dictation/test revision 1
A minium 4 hours till 8pm already!
- Dinner + bath 1
- Musical instruments practice 0.5
Already 9:30pm and I have to hurry my son to pack school bag, brush teeth, and go to bed by 10pm. He only has 9 hrs sleep every night which is not enough for a 6 years old!
It is a hugh pity that there is just no time for the most important parents and child chatting, bonding time!
I actually knew a lawyer couple in HK whose kids are "HOME SCHOOLING" only. They follow outside syllabus for Chin, Eng and Maths. They get up in the morning and start their homestudy, then by noon they have already finished the whole days' work and they are free to read books, do sports, join team acty like scouts, church groups, drama, orchestra etc. The kids are perfectly normal in terms of social skills AND they are more advanced in their studies comparing to other kids of their age in HK. They took open exams as Cambridge Eng exams and got good grades. I envy them so much. They have just so much more free time to develop, to think, to enjoy life.
I strongly suggest HK to allow home schooling! Parents and kids too should have a choice to choose the type of education they desire.
I tried to find half day school for my son but there is just so few left now.
For whole day schools, they SHOULD let the kids do the homework at school, and do sports, music acty instead having more drilling classes. Poor kids of HK. |
