I have two children studying at St. Paul Co-ed and want to share my view on your words. I am teaching at one of the universities in Hong Kong and will use a very objective view to give my comments.
1. About the interview process, the first interview lasts for more than one hour on average for each student. The purpose is to give sufficient time to let the interviewers look at each interviewee carefully via different activities. There is no difference for headmistress or other teachers to attend the interview because they are using score cards to obtain objective assessment. In my experience, the first interview is more than important than the second one as many “blue blood” I know personally failed the first one.
2. As far as I know, the majority of so-called “blue blood” is the ones with sisters or brothers studying in the school, I see it’s natural to give preference to those “blue blood”; many schools are doing the same from long time ago.
3. We did not experience any pressure to our children for donation; neither did we hear others’.
4. I admit that some parents are very rich and what attitudes they adopt are totally the reflection of their personalities, the same happens in other school, the same happens in our society! Our children and we have no problem to find good friends without building on any financial interests.
5. The things Co-ed teaches and examines are not easy, as far as I know, the teachers really teach the difficult parts at school as I tried to test my children’s understanding of the math, and they did understand the details! I don’t let my children have any private tuition because the workload is already heavy in terms of difficulty, not the quantity.
6. The headmistress is a devoted and fair person, we like her very much. I sent my first child to study there and then my second child. They enjoy school life though the homework is demanding. This is my first hand feeling, we are not rich either and we are not “blue blood” anyway.
7. I agree that St. Paul Co-ed is not suitable for every child, of course not for every parent.
