Re: 真道和臻美如何選擇?
hmtammy 寫道:
臻美已收了小兒, 但我又喜歡真道, 可否請兩間學校的家長多給些意見? 我的要求很低, 希望小朋友天天樂意上學, 沒什壓力, 功課不要太多, 又學到嘢.  :
Hi hmtammy,
I can't comment on 真道. But I can give you some idea about 臻美 because my daughter studies there at P3.
If you only "希望小朋友天天樂意上學, 沒什壓力, 功課不要太多", I 100% guarantee that this is your dream school. However it is a new school, a new curriculum, a new teaching method, ......, no one can be assured that it will be "又學到嘢".
If you put your kid there, make sure that you have time to be with him. Take an example, the quantity of homework there is less than tradition school. But because 抄寫 is minimum, the homework there is quite difficult for a P1 or P2 pupil. So nearly every day you have to teach him how to do the homework. It is so often my daughter does not know the meaning of the instructions of the homework when she was at P1. At P2, things improved. At P3, she can finish most of her homework on her own.
The other characteristic is that it has no dictation, no test. Only 3 assessments every year. And even in the assessments, your kid can just ignore them (I personally encourage my daughter not to do any revision before the assessments). Without dictation marks, test results, ranks in the examinations, most of HK parents would feel insecure. Can you stand this?
The school encourage reading, because homework and other things required by the school is minimium, your kid should have plenty of time to read books, play, explore the world. However I suspect that some of the pupils just play all day. My daughter, with a 二十四孝老豆 ready to be on call every day, has been benefited very much from such an environment. We spend plenty of the leissure time to read books together - more than 1,000 books in 2004. However, since one of the basic believe of the school is not to compare among the pupils, I never know my daughter's education standard when compare to her schoolmates. This suits me. But do you like this?
So if you are a mainstream parent, don't select this school. You will feel insecure. If you are believe in western education philosophy and willing to spend quality time with your kid, it could be your dream school.
Two years ago, there are quite number of teachers quit their jobs. Half a year later, more than 10 parents sent their children to other schools. Now everything seems to be stabilized. During parent meetings, the atmosphere is harmonized and it seems to me that most parents support the school.
Whether it is a good school or not, I think it very much depend on the attitude of the parents.  |
