有人話如果唔打算比小朋友繼續讀國際學校(小學),咁就唔好比佢讀國際學校嘅幼稚園....

你地認同唔認同呀?

Re: 打算比囡囡讀國際幼稚園,不過有d問題想問?

some parents aim International Kindergarten (real International Kindergarten) for outstanding spoken English. That is something you cannot easily achieve in local kindergarten as Hong Kong Chinese.
I believe Fluent English will still be an exceptional advantage in Hong Kong for the coming 50 years.
Anyway, it is always a give and take option. You will have weaker Chinese and may not easy to adopt local duck-feeding education commencing local P1.
Good Luck!

Re: 打算比囡囡讀國際幼稚園,不過有d問題想問?

This is very true, because local kindergartens are very different from international kindergartens.  My daughter studied in both and I can tell you my real experience.

In a local kindergarten, everything is structured and guided.  Children are requested to learn to write and remember words (some may even have dictations or tests).  Some kinderagrtens may be teaching numbers in K1 and addition/subtraction in K2 or K3.

In an internation kindergarten, everyday they are playing playing playing.  They are not requested to write alphabets or numbers, but they are asked to draw/"write" diary, practise zig-zag / lines / patterns.  They are asked to "try" to write" so anything that shaped like alphabets will do, no chinese are taught.  So all these "guarantee" that you cannot join a P1 local school.  My daughter is now in P1 of an international school, she cannot yet write 0-10 correctly and she can only count till 20.  Of course, there are super-performers as well.

Yes, you are right. Or if you are aiming at local primary in future, you can choose some local International Kinders, such as Victoria, Think International... which teach both English and Chinese. The teaching method is more like local than international, but English is better.

Re: 打算比囡囡讀國際幼稚園,不過有d問題想問?

我估都係嫁，不過首要都係問你自已，為何要讓子女讀int'l school先？！

local school同埋國際幼稚園係好大分別，由你day one入int'l kindergarden開始，就已經接受緊同香港本土教育好唔同既教育方式，呢個唔係錢既問題，而係文化既唔同，你比得你個子女入國際學校，作為父母既都要有心理準備，去接受唔同自已一向受開既文化（假設父母唔係讀int'l school至有呢個疑問），可唔可以用英文（一般是）在家中全程對話？係勁流利，唔係一隻半隻字英文個種；語言離唔開文化，你既思想�思考方式可唔可以接近西化？接受事物都係要有開放同埋包容態度．

父母自已又有冇國際視野？會唔會只係停留響留意香港本身既事物？冇去放眼世界？

如果你唔打算囡囡以後都讀int'l school，咁你就要接受佢升小一時既”咸”接問題，我有個親戚既女就係咁，之前響外國讀書，因為父母回港工作，又遲報int'l school，唯有讀local school，點知ｄ老師話佢冇規距（響外國呢ｄ叫自由），中文又追唔上；結果佢而家唔想返學．．．

int'l school冇錯係可以train好一個人既英文能力（不過我見有好多學生既英文都好差），又或者將來升讀大學係有條順利ｄ既路，不過呢ｄ都係好表面既野，深入要去思考既係父母本身有冇呢個能力，去接受自已去學習另一種文化．

對,小女學校常提及"love, care & help",功課不多,同好開心 ^^,真不是錢的問題.

[size=x-small]"可唔可以用英文（一般是）在家中全程對話？係勁流利"
**********************************************
對不起,我不懂英文,小女與我都只是用中文溝通.但早陣子,幫他報了個坊間英文評核試,但因沒有時間上補習班,所以只好打天才波,還錯報高了一級,結果考到個 "Dis 丁唇" (不好意思,英文差....),以為給錯分,原來還考得 95分.

那就是說,父母不懂英文,所以下一代就不應該懂?

"佢亞仔唔like英文"??

Does his son not like Chinese instead of English?
As far as I know, most kids from international schools don't like Chinese and will likely go to study high schools and U overseas.

Re: 打算比囡囡讀國際幼稚園,不過有d問題想問?

How come their children does not need afternoon nap? They go to bed very early at the night time, don't they? Sleeping is quite important for children's development. Furthermore, how can they manage to transit between two kindergartens, with sufficient lunchtime and changing time. For example, ESF Kindergarten morning session is 8.30-11.30 and afternoon session is 12.30-3.30, while most of local kindergarten would start 30min later, so children would have rush lunchtime and changing time. Do they have lunch and change their uniforms in the car, unless two schools are very close. Otherwise, they must be very tough!!

好多媽咪唔同意唔會甘做，認為係虐待小朋友，但佢個仔E＋都讀緊P3，中英都OK！中文唔合格係佢間教得深。
佢亞仔之前走兩間KINDER，係一東一西，係自己車裡換衫食LUNCH，下午間國際學校唔著校服，國際幼稚園無MUD野學，日日都係玩，D鬼婆覺中國父母係好緊張，同埋朋友話唔可以比鬼婆知道讀兩間，唔係一定話你mistreat child，個小朋友都無問題，唔覺辛苦，佢亞媽話佢最辛苦。
但到E＋個仔大左就好唔鐘意中文，雖然佢都有讀LOCAL KINDER。
