Re: The views of a 保良局蔡繼有學校 foreign teacher to 保良局蔡繼有學校
In other discussion forum you told people that your friend’s kid is studying in CKY, then in here you said that your colleague’s wife is teaching in CKY. So, you know many people who are CKY-related, but you are not a CKY parent. Then, eventually you “transfer” their personal thoughts to here. Regrettably, your views (or their views which are filtered by you?) are quite subjective. You have even changed your English heading of the post to Chinese to attract more attention. I am not sure what is your intention to post so many negative comments on CKY in different forums here.
Being a parent (you are not a CKY parent right?), I am fully aware of what kind of school I choose. I am not sure whether I can speak for all CKY parents, but one thing I am quite sure that – we are all well educated. I, myself, have a master degree from a US university, so as my wife, and I know many CKY parents who are professionals. Do you think we are all stupid dude, letting our kids enter a school which we don’t know at all, and pay $40000 a year?
I admit, the school’s administration is a mess. I talked about this in other threads in this Forum many times. But, no school is perfect, and I don’t think other private schools are much better administrative than CKY. Even they are, what I concern is the education mode, rather than the administration, as I am not the teacher working for CKY.
Every teacher does complain the school they work for. So, what the big deal? I always complain my company, but it is a well-known service company. The matter is, we serve the clients well. Which client cares for your administration, how much you pay for your staff?
I think you need to spend more time to read CKY brochure. It is NOT an international school, it doesn’t claim itself as an international school, and the school masters even don't claim the school as an English school. It is a triingual school, where English, Putonghua and Cantonese are used.
I attended many school activities, and I even paid many “sudden visits” to school and the classroom, so I can confirm that:
ONLY ENGLISH IS USED FOR ENGLISH AND ENGLISH RELATED SUBJECTS
ONLY PUTONGHUA (starting from P2) IS USED FOR CHINESE AND CHINESE RELATED SUBJECTS
CANTONESE IS USED FOR “MORAL EDUCATION”, AND KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK CANTONESE IN ENGLISH CLASS. THEY CAN ONLY SPEAK CANTONESE DURING THE RECESSION.
If you colleague’s wife needs to have translators to teach English in class, it is the problem of her teaching ability. No wonder she failed many times for applying the ESP. I have never seen my kid’s English teacher using Chinese during class, and I have never heard of any similiar complaints from other parents.
In my kid’s class, there is a classmate who is very weak in English (only knew a few English words when he entered CKY). But, he can catch up fast in P.1, as he can open himself to the English learning environment, encouraged by the English teacher. It all depends on the teacher and the kid.
English teachers are mostly expat. High turnover rate is not only the problem of CKY, but also other schools. Bear in mind that, CKY pays less than the market price to English teachers, but their workloads are much more than the international schools.
No school is financially sufficient. 拔萃都被人投訴唔夠課外書啦.So what? It is still a famous and good school.
My kid reads at least 10 story books a week, which are mostly borrowed from the public library. I don’t think any school could has a big school library to accommodate the needs of more than 600 book worms (students). You want to read? Fine, there are plenty books in the public library, which CKY encourages their students to go regularly, and the kids are required to write reports on the books they have read. Don’t complain that there is no book in school, so your kid learns nothing. It is the job of the parents.
CKY has just released the admission results, and it is now a sensitive moment to see such sensitive post. |
