My son is now studying Y1 in CKY.
I have gone through those BK posts and attended school seminars before Ipicked CKY for my boy.
CKY has alwaysbeen my priority.
Although it may bepre-mature for me to express the teaching method or staff competency about CKY,as a parent of CKY kid, I want to say :- IS or local school 1. None of the school team of CKY makes any representation that CKYis an IS hence I don’t think it is fair to compare CKY with IS at all. 2. The school fee of IS is expensive and may not be affordable bymost families in HK.
Whilst the schoolfee of CKY is much cheaper than that of IS hence CKY as a local school runningIB at a cheaper fee becomes a good choice for middle-class families. IB results 3. When compare with the local school running IB, CKY is relativelynew and indulgence should be given to CKY to adjust and fine tune the teachingmethod. 4. When compare with DBS which also runs IB (in fact, I don’t thinkcomparison with this “god type school” is appropriate at all); only those elitestudents in DBS could go for IB hence bright results is not out of expectation. 5. As a matter of fact, those students who took IB last year are not“born” from CKY.
Although they had notgot very good results in IB, they are all good and kind students (to me,personality development is more important than academic development). 6.
Some students with goodacademic results left CKY to another preferred IB school in HK.
That said, they were academically qualified.
Of course, such shifting is a problem to CKY. 7. Some students left CKY to study overseas.
This is not uncommon in IS or local schoolrunning international programme. Curriculum in primary section 8. CKY gives a very clear expression that it teaches studentsthrough story books.
Nothing has beenhidden.
If you buy it, go for it; ifnot, don’t pick CKY. 9. CKY offers two class observations in a school year and it is veryunusual and odd for parents to say that they do not know the way of teaching atschool. 10. I have never been told that students in CKY do not need to doany revision.
May be the school hasalready fine tuned the style of teaching.
Teachers in CKY return the class exercises and ask students to dorevision. 11. CKY got an assessment every term (not as the hearsay informationmentioned in #555), Principal Lau and teachers only said that revision shouldbe on daily basis so as to “learn” and not simply for assessment!
My personal view is that it’s too naive tobelieve that no revision is required (forgive me to say that).
The crux is how you do the revision. Information 12. Principal has not hidden the IB results to CKY parents.
She told us the outcome of IB results ingathering and also in its website. 13. I have no information as to the rumour that students were only releasedfrom sharing session late at nite and woke up early at 5:30 a.m.
It seems that it is only hearsay informationand not direct from CKY parents, correct me if I were wrong. CKY is not perfect and indeed there is room for improvement.
However, this is a tread about IB resultsunder International School forum but some parents are turning it to CKYdiscussion and finger pointing CKY. Right now and in foreseeable future, CKY remain my choice but aschool is good to me and my kid may not be your cup of tea and vice versa.
Stay calm and be frank and neutral. |
