Re: St. Paul's Co-ed vs. HKUGA Primary School
Dear Hei's Mum,
Please take a look at Sheenaho's message in another topic "HKUGAPS results". Sorry, I am not good at typing Chinese, so I just translated the topic into English. There you will find the teaching method of dictation of HKUGAPS. As for the project subject, eg, the English teacher will ask your kid to make some very simple toys with say paper boxes. But the aim is to let your child tell the class how the toy was made in simple terms, so it gives your kid a chance of public speaking rather than to give you a score on the standard of the toy that you made.
So, this is the method, or should I say, part of the methods used at HKUGAPS. My kid enjoys learning much more than he did when he was in a very famous traditional Kinder where open learning was also part of the norm. In traditional primaries, you get marks deducted for what you don't know. Here you get extra marks for what you know more than those taught, but I must add, you get marks deducted if you don't know the words that you had been taught.
The result: My girl in SPCS, she got 95 marks because 5 marks were deducted for one wrong word, she felt bad. My son in HKUGAPS, he got 95 marks also for missing one word, but he got extra 100 marks for knowing 20 more un-taught words that he prepared for the dictation. So he was very happy and he wanted to learn more un-taught words every time there is dictation. END RESULT: He learns more than what is required of him. So that is why I have to put in more efforts with my son than my other kids.
This is a live example of the difference between proactive learning and traditional spoon fed learning. All depends on what the parents think is better.No right or wrong.
