As for 2nd round interview, my GUESS is that it is somewhat a process to identify those parents who do not really share ISF's philosophy (e.g. those who keep on asking why there is no test/exam, why the students are not ranked, why the students are given only three math questions a day, why the students should wear a cap under the sun, etc.)
As for parents' meetings, probably mrsho was talking about those meetings organised by the class mom reps. Some mom reps. have more to share than others and are more keen to see each other.
Attend those meetings if you like them; ignore them if you don't (I can't recall when the last time I attended those meetings was).
At ISF, homework load is probably heavier than that in say ESF or HKIS. After all, ISF aims high. But it never takes my girl more than an hour to finish her homework if she is in the right mood (Luckily she is in the right mood most of the time. But she also has her bad days. Her record is - writing 6 words in 40 mins). Some homework may take more time to finish but they are no jabberwocky. In math, for an example, my girl got this question last year - Student A has twice as much pocket money as student B. A and B each spends $10 on food. After that, A has three times as much as B does. How much does A and B respectively has before they spend their money on food? It took my girl no less than 15 mins to work on the question. I can imagine that she would need at least an hour if she got a few more questions like that. Is it heavy homework load? I don't think so. I guess I would get frustrated if my girl has to do 24/6=? type of questions repeatedly but I love this non-jabberwocky type of questions. Bring them on.
As for wearing cap outdoors, yes there is such a policy. I can live with it. No big deal. It is no more nonsense than the rule that boys should wear white socks. By the way, for your information, quite a number of Aussie schools and Scandinavian schools make it a rule that all students wear long-sleeves and put on caps and sunglasses when they are outdoors. I will not be surprised if other schools like GSIS follows suit.
I am not going to argue against people's belief that a student cannot excel in more than one language. After all, not all people are equally well informed and people are entitled to their belief. My girl and I and our fellow students and parents are enjoying the benefits of high quality liberal education in a truly bilingual setting and we are happy. Period.

But, she earns over 10 million from her Cyber Port flat.
