回復 HKTHK 的帖子
Well, given that my baby is not even old enough for most playgroups, I am taking my time to learn about and evaluate both local schools and IS options. Hence, you'd see me in both IS and local school forums doing school research.
The original discussion was around ISs being the stepping stone to top colleges overseas, and my point was that paying for the sometimes overpriced ISs would not be the only way. If some parents buy into that belief then it could be a mistake or a waste of money. I also suspect most people have only encountered Ivy Leagues graduates who used to attend ISs or top local schools. And according to the original discussion, even those from top local schools are now the minority. Such information may lead some EK parents into believing that shelling out the 150K a year PER CHILD is the only way to give their children a "bright future". That's why I voiced my concern and shared my observations and experience, though it was questioned by many because the idea (that a girl from non-top local school could get into an Ivy League by her own merit) was probably too foreign for most EK parents. Interestingly, in my circle high school friends, I'm not the only one as a couple others also went on to attend overseas colleges including Imperial, and hence this idea is well-accepted.
In short, my previous responses were specific to the IS-top overseas colleges relationship, and I wouldn't preclude other reasons / benefits for sending their kids to ISs.
