Re: Comment on 耀中國際學校(九龍塘)

Erm......I don't know if you misunderstood what I said. My child does not have any problem with her English and what I was referring to was the AP's opinion of YC and not my daughter. My family and I experienced it meaning we were present when it happened. Whereas you heard it by word of mouth and obviously believed what you heard. Of course it could be true and we never write anything off! If it is the truth I take my hat off to the student because there are not many about who can grasp the command of good English from YC.

By the way are you a YC parent and also what do mean by an official - can you be a little more specific?

Thanks

Re: Comment on 耀中國際學校(九龍塘)

Sorry I didn't mean your child had English problem. I meant the comment you heard about YC kids regarding their English.

I am a YC parent, at least for a few more days. You can see my comments in this same thread earlier. Quite a few people here know who are my kids and have contacted me or my wife regarding some of my earlier comments.

Official means the person who have access to all the test results and in the position to represent the school. I try not to drop any name here.

Off topic...

Just want to share some pic from Friday's P6 Graduation Dinner.

Everyone had lots of fun, and oh my, the kids grow so fast!

Re: Comment on 耀中國際學校(九龍塘)

有家長告之小學部的陳校長以前在中學部的School Office工作的,並沒有擔任教學的工作,不知何解,幾年前調到小學部担任副校長,後來更坐正做正校長.据聞陳校長沒有中文教學的資歷或經驗. (耀中以往的中國籍校長都是中國語文教育工作者).

PS 唔該學校請陳校長趁暑期放假，去學好普通話；又或者，如果學校早會或學校活動，都想安排由兩位校長，一英一中的發言，那就不如請陳校長講廣東話；又或者，單單請 FOSTER 一個說話就好了。陳校長的普通話真的 "很爛" 。

一向都覺得陳校長不掂。
以往有問題搵唐校長，佢到好友善，亦真係好快有行動幫忙解決。
陳校長比我感覺係，一味係笑笑口，一係就乜都話好，一係就乜都話唔知，總之就係耍 d 家長。

How is the school's of arts and designs program? My son is in secondary 3 and likes working on projects more than written work. He is very good in making models. Any one know if this will be a suitable school? I heard it has a large art room in the new building. Any one know any student who has gone to good university for archtecture study from this school?

唔好諗住讀國際學校可以逃避寫作，其實相反，國際學校要寫的，可能比本地學校更多；而且，耀中高中係行 IBD 課程 ( 即等於預科的階段 )，而 IB 課程係出名 demanding 的。
先前，耀中家長討論的，係學生水平問題，但 IBD 課程本身，並唔係容易 "過骨" 的：正正因為學生水平跟不上課程的要求，耀中中學上大學的情形差強人意。
在國際學校，即使係小學時期的 project，都大部份係要寫作的了。你係唔係對 "project" 這個 term 有點誤解？"project" 即係 "功課" 罷了，不過一般係 "大陣仗" d，要花時間做 d research 先夠資料完成。project 的形式，可以係畫畫，可以係整立體模型，亦都可以係要寫幾百字至過千字的文章，個別 project 形式由老師訂定。
想讀 achitecture ，要好多方面都有高水平。Architecture 唔係淨係天馬行空，整下 model，畫下畫就得。唔好比 "設計師"，"建築師" 的工作性質誤導，以為佢地隨心隨意畫畫，就完成工作，佢地的設計，背後要先有好好多 history ，art，及 math 等的基礎知識。
其實，如果唔鍾意，或怕寫作，恐怕上到大學，讀邊一科都會讀得好吃力。我有朋友係數學系畢業的，可能好多人又誤會，以為讀數學，計下數就得，但我朋友讀的科目，單單係本科數學科的科目，就有差不多四份一係要寫的，越高層次的科目，寫文字比寫數目字還多，還不計非本科科目，如 language，humanities，等。( 我地係北美州讀書，大學不單單要求學生讀本科科目，非本科的學分都要有。讀文學院的，也要修一些科學學分；讀工程或科學的，都要修一些文學學分。)
我建議你同你仔傾下，睇下佢自己想點啦，如果真係想讀上去，無論讀邊一科，都要克服怕寫作這個問題，( 有困難，要克服，唔好逃避 )。講個現實比佢聽，如果真係對讀 architecture 有興趣，就更要唔怕寫作，唔怕閱讀 ( 我哥係 architect，佢當年大學要讀好多好多 history，要睇好多書 )。

Re: Comment on 耀中國際學校(九龍塘)

Thank you so much for your comment and advice! You know so much about secondary and post secondary education. Thank you for sharing!
But before I read in newspaper that this school is good in getting students who do not like the "

eking duck" style teaching and changing them to like learning by mixing learning with art and DT. I also read in the paper that there is an art exhibition going on. It seems like they can give a different ways for children who are not strong with words. As a parent of the school, are there children like that in the school? Are there really success cases?

報紙的 "鱔稿" ，當係參考就好了。
我唔係教育專家，但係我唔相信藝術本身，真係可以令孩子愛讀書，愛學習；舉個例，數學弱，唔通真係畫下畫，數學就有進步？要在學科/學術上有進步，始終係要在該個範疇下功夫。不過，無可否認，"藝術" 對孩子學習，成長都有好處；起碼，如果孩子真係鍾意藝術，而在學校又有得發揮，咁佢起碼會 look forward to 返學。

恕我直言，耀中中學部的 art program，跟小學部 / 幼稚園的 music program ，可能都係 gimmick 罷了。耀中孩子，從幼稚園 4 歲就個個在學校學 violin，每星期一堂，這個 in-school violin lesson，做了好多好多年，近年有些本地學校都學，但其實出來學 violin 學得比較好的學生，都係另外有私人老師的。不過，當然，學校有些藝術/ 音樂氣氛都係好事。
我係現實的人，我只係知道，耀中上大學的情形真係麻麻。

另外，你提到的 exhibition，我覺得冇驚喜之餘，直情係有 d 失望。首先，係作品太少，全部作品，夾雜著小學部和幼稚園孩子的 art work，中學部學生的作品唔多。而中學部學生，用的材料唔夠多樣化 ( 中學生，應該要比佢地嘗試用唔同的美術材料，例如，顏料方面，都有好多種可以試用 )，和技術方面亦麻麻，部份我覺得水準比較好的作品，都係某一兩個人的手筆，細看旁邊的名牌，再問問我孩子，完來都竟然係出自小學部的 art instructors ( 其中一位，好似係叫 ms elderidge，希望冇串錯 ) 的手筆，或者佢地真係 art work 唔夠，要老師幫手充撐場面。我最喜歡的作品，反而係小學部和幼稚園小朋友的幾個大形立體創作。

Secondary School

Hummm... the art exibition sounded so good on papers and maybe it is not so then.  But do you know if the school will allow anyone to go in and have a look?
You talked about Violin lessons.  Do students in the secondary school learn violin?  What if they do not know how to?  Will the school ask or force students to take extra lessons if they do not know how to play?

In general, how do you find the student's conduct?  Do the school give any extra help to students who find school work difficult?  I mean like in the local school there are sometime tutorial lessons after school or on weekend.

I have put in application, but there seems to be a lot of people.  My son waited a long time and still not yet get an interview.  Do anyone know what the child need to prepare for interview?  Anyone with experience?  I am very worried.  My friend who reccommend the school say it is very good, but all the news here is not the same....  :cry:

You talked about Violin lessons.  Do students in the secondary school learn violin?  What if they do not know how to?  Will the school ask or force students to take extra lessons if they do not know how to play?  <== 中學部唔知駛唔駛學 violin，但小學部係必修的，但佢地會將學生按水平分組學。學校都唔會迫學生另外搵老師學，但如果唔另外學，就可以話根本冇乜進度可言，係舐緊時間。

In general, how do you find the student's conduct?  <== 小學部學生普遍都好乖，亦比出面 local school 純品；頑皮極，都係你推我撞，未聽過有真係打交，( 聽聞某名男小學 d 學生打到七彩老師都唔會理)，中學部就唔知，不過 so far，都冇乜負面的事。

Do the school give any extra help to students who find school work difficult?  I mean like in the local school there are sometime tutorial lessons after school or on weekend.  <== 如果話 extra help，學校係有，因為平常課堂就可能係分組學習，但唔會係放學後，或週末會有補習班。

I have put in application, but there seems to be a lot of people.  My son waited a long time and still not yet get an interview.  <== 我同好多其他家長分析過，好多入唔到英中，甚至 band 2 - 3 學生，都好中意報耀中 ( 無貶意，不過係事實 ) ，多人報讀真係唔奇。

Do anyone know what the child need to prepare for interview?  Anyone with experience?  I am very worried.  <== 耀中中小學的 interview ，都唔係真係篩選學生，就算唔係咁叻，都唔會唔收，即使英語差，佢地都有英語輔導班。

My friend who reccommend the school say it is very good, but all the news here is not the same....  :cry: <== 我估個個要求唔同啦，可能係你朋友眼中，耀中係做到佢的要求啦。我唔知你孩子讀開邊間學校，不過真係唔好諗住耀中中學，會好似英基或漢基之類，真係咁有國際學校氣氛。耀中中學學生全部都係香港/大陸人，咁都唔緊要，最慘係連老師都冇幾個係外藉的，咁我就覺得同讀 local school  真係冇乜分別。或者咁講啦，如果你當佢係有一間，校舍比較靚的 local 英文中學，咁可能就會覺得滿意囉。不過，我自己就由 day one 都唔係想要一間 local school，咁我就覺得唔滿意喇。
