本報訊】英基轄下的私營獨立學校啟新書院小學部,擬由 9月新學年起逢周五提早半日放學,由五日上課制改為四日半,騰出時間讓教師共同研究。有家長指校方意圖悄悄通過轉制,但被家長及時揭發後才展開諮詢,全校家長絕大部份表明反對,質疑轉制理據不成立,認為教師可在平日放學後開會。
記者:倪清江

啟新書院採用國際教育文憑( IB)課程,小學部校長 Jamie Schmitz上周四發出家長通告,稱校方初步構思由 12/13學年起,逢周五下午 1時放學,較現時提早 2.5至 3小時,「可以讓老師在多方面加強合作,現有上課時間未能容許,轉變將有助學生學習」。校方將透過焦點小組、諮詢會和民意調查,收集家長意見。 Schmitz呼籲家長保持開放態度,繼續進行討論。

家長詢問 校方才出通告

英基發言人表示, IB課程需要學生撰寫報告及參與社區服務,因此啟新中學部已於兩、三年前轉為四日半上堂,讓學生可於周五下午進行,目前轄下只有啟新有這安排;教師不可提早放工,仍需留校工作。小學部縮減半日計劃仍在諮詢中,須校董會通過才能實行,校方會與家長保持溝通。
啟新家長盧太表示,據她所知中學部當年轉制並未有足夠諮詢,「傳聞話又係放完大假後,校方同家長話決定咗啦。今次小學想轉制,冇一個家長代表獲通知,校方係喺家長問先至出通告。」
盧太指出,目前逢隔周五下午,校方安排高年班學生學習不同運動,低年級學習跳舞和手工藝等不同文化活動,家長也可參加,毋須另外收費;日後若提早放學後,學生可報名參加收費活動。「人哋美國學校因經費不足先改四日制,我哋上少半日又冇話減學費,仲年年加㖭。」另一家長馮太表示,相比本地學制學校,啟新較少功課,老師工作量相對較少,「點會冇時間開會呀!」她認為提早放學問題多多,「仔女要有人照顧啦,而且一個禮拜變成放兩日半假,怕佢哋心散,學業變差。

其實返4日半係咪真係有助老師的時間安排,從而令學生得益?

有冇人可以分享經驗?同埋RC中學部自從改返4日半之後(都有兩年幾啦),學生表現如何?

Strong objection!

It doesn't really make sense that 'earlier school dismissal' is for teachers' meetings. Think about those local school teachers... They all have meetings after school. And don't forget that there are Teachers' Professional Development Days (holidays for students) each year !

Moreover, RC also informed parents about Student Teachers from HKIEd doing Chinese teaching practicum. I think RC should also consult the parents before such arrangement.
And does it mean that the current RC teachers will soon be free for a certain period of time with student teachers taking up the lessions? Then, they should have enough time for staff meetings, right?

我明白家長覺得番少了半日學, 學少了野, 咁受服務少了. 所以應該減學費. 學生學習不單止是上課果幾個鐘.  ...

Totally agree!

However, I think the school should disclose more info about how much of the teachers' time are expected to allocate outside the classroom and what outputs should be expected from those hours.  I don't even know what is the office hours of the teachers in general. May be they are working 12 hours /day , may be they can leave the school right after the last class.

But in general , I  would think PYP teachers even have more time than some MYP teachers as there is less homework,  no CAS, no team sports training  (one team sport occupies 6 MYP teachers - U14, U16, U19 at least one afternoon per week during the season)  in PYP and the Friday afternoons are replaced by sport activities (Year 3/4- Year 5/6).


In fact, I have introduced a School Sports Program (SSP) offered by LCSD  to RAPT recently  so that both of our PYP and MYP students can have opportunities to experience different sports (more than 30 different sports) taught by  qualified coaches. Our PYP and MYP teachers   would then have more time to use and prepare teaching materials and organize meetings outside the classroom.

It is ridiculous! I am not a parent of the above school but can already imagine the frustration you guys are having!  Teachers are teaching the same old stuff every year, well, may have some new methods out there in teaching one thing, but come on, there is a set curriculum to follow... nothing much they can really plan or change, everything is already planned for them to execute!!!  

Teachers are too narrow minded, can't think outside of their little circle,  look at others in the entire work force, everyone needs to do OT nowadays and can they just say to their bosses that they need to have meetings so they have to put down the job that they are suppose to do?  
Sorry to the teachers out there if you are not happy with my comment, but hey, you guys are already having heaps of holidayssssssssss, don't be too selfish!!!!

4 and half day is good as students can have more time to play, to sleep and even for those parents wants more time for tutor classes.  
Having a good sleep is great for learning.
Maybe we should re introduce napping time after lunch in school.

Half day only ? It's lifetime learning.  The Hong Kong Chief Executive is a good counter example.
