My daughter was born Dec 08, so she was a Super Small B last year and a Super Big B this year. I have quite a lot of KG interviews in the past 2 years. Being a super small B, we had 15 interviews last year. Yes, I feel crazy too when I looked into my interview calendar.
Result last year: We got 6 Rejects (all from full or semi through-train KG) and 6 Waiting offers.
1 waiting was then turned into offer but it came fairly late and we didn't take that. Within the 2 offers, one was strange as it was the worst performing interview. My kid cried the whole interview and did none of the task nor spoke a single word, even reluctant to take the toy gift afterwards. Luckily that there was 1 super-outperforming interview and my kid was then studying there finally. Happy to see her growing happily in the past year; and hence I have decided to give it a try again this year.
Up to now, we had interviewed 7, perhaps 3 more to go if we are not seeing any better offers later. We have now getting 1 pm offer (Thanks God!) and 2, waiting and the rest of 4 are pending (anxious!). My kid improved a lot during interview this year and sometimes surprised me and made me proud of her. However, I feel the competition is much much fierce this year. KG was much more crowded by kids and parents and I see lot of posts that bright kid with good performances can't get any offer. We have the same experiences too (Perhaps our best is still not good enough).
We are not graduates of any famous KG, primary or secondary school, knowing no body in any KG, no professional background, no sibling connection, no religious, living in normal region and apartment, just a typical local working couple.
So, what we have done? We have worked quite hard in KG researching, attending seminar, filling forms and questionnaires, queuing for hours, surfing BB Kingdom and make sure my kid happy to go interview each time. Afterwards, kid has to run the show by herself. We can never know all the hidden admission criteria in every school but I hope I have provided enough chances for her and pray for a windfall to come, sometime one day.
We were tired when we were struggling with the difficult questionnaires, we were cold when we were queuing for more than an hour to get or submit an application form. We were nervious when we knew a KG letter would come tonight. We felt frustrated when we got reject or waiting letters, we felt pity when we understand more the educational system in HK. But we were thrilled when our daughter came out from interviews with a smiling face, we know we will feel adequate when we have finished all the necessary interviews and we hope one day our kid will tell me that she has a happy, healthy and fruitful childhood.
Best regards to all and I hope every parent here can get the offer they want, and let's hang in there as we are very close to the end of the game (and of course for this year only) |
