Re: DBSPD

I read from the newspaper today that Wilson Lam, a First Grader in DPSPD, obtained full marks in Cambridge Flyers Examination. He is the youngest child to have this achievement.

Wilson is a student from CCKG. Well done, Wilson!

Re: DBSPD

By the way, just curious to know why Wilson joined the flyer exam? I understand that some student join this exam to prove their English level for school application. I suppose Wilson is not planning for such a change.

How is English being taught in DBSPD? Any special approach?

Re: DBSPD

Hi Ericcmy,

If Wilson is in P1 and has reached the standard of P5/6 (for flyer, right?), I wonder how does he feel during English class in school? Would the school take special care of him or any other students that are exceptionally intelligent in certain area?

Re: DBSPD

Dear leehoma001,

In fact the Cambridge flyer exam is only for those non-native speakering regions. It is not difficulty. As seen from the exams questions of the flyer exam, it is only equivalent to the standard of Year 2 to Year 3 (i.e. for kids age 6 to 7) of the international schools.

Out of curiosity I googled "Cambridge English test flyer" and had a quick look of the search results returned by google.  Some of them gave me a good laugh - for an example, from Wikipedia,

"Many [sic] schools in Hong Kong and Shenzhen always use the results of these students as proof of their teachers' ability in their promotional materials".

On the other hand, I do feel sad to see that quite a number of our schools and some parents have gotten so unnecessarily concerned with the test.  It is nothing but a simple test.  What is the big deal?  Why should the schools make their students attend outside courses and get the parents pay up to $600 for those courses? Can they not teach and assess their own students?

The reason is "sense of insecurity".  Parents need some form of objective yardstick to show others that their kids have attained a certain level, and sometimes it is not good enough to tell others that their kids are attending a particular school.

Sorry, pressed the button too early.

You may say "well, if the test is so easy, then everyone will know this and it is therefore no big deal ..".  But the point is exactly that not everyone know that the test is actually not difficult (without intending to offend) - look at the amount of "wah !!!" generated by the piece of news and you can see why.

Re: DBSPD

It's actually good for the boy who got such a good result. Since he's the first one, he does not need to worry about anything!

My only concern is that once we have the first one, we'll soon see the second one, the third one...

and for some strange reasons, parents will have the children registered for the flyer exams at P4,P3,P2, then P1....

IF it's getting THAT competitive, then..Oh.. no! Now my nephew is one step closer to "purchasing" a degree at a not so good university from a not so good region.....

From now on, we need to work harder--to go for an exam which Singapore, our nearby competitor, is not even on the ranking list....

but, in reality, I'd rather treat this as a very exceptional case, and life remains the same to us.....
