Yew Chung's philosophy is to educate every child irrespective of their learning ability and talent. That's why they don't pick children from the interview.
I think you need to "divide" the discussions of secondary school from kindergarten.
To a certain extend there must be some basic skills that a child has to have. Yew Chung is supposed to be an English medium school. I do not care what nationality or ethnicity the students are. But if a school teaches in English, then should teachers and students be all be able to speak good English?
We are not talking about an additional language. But we are talking English, as a medium of learning. Without basic English skills, how can anyone learn Math, Science, History, as these are all taught in English. Homework are in English, exams are in English.
As far as I see, many students at Yew Chung are not even in par in tems of English with peers in local English secondary school. I am not even talking about elite schools like DGS. Many students at Yew Chung hardly made it to local English secondary school BECAUSE they have been considered not suitable to learn in English. However, just because their parents are able to pay the premium, these kids now are now study in an international school, which normally requires even higher skills than most local English medium schools.
Can you see the problem here? Students and parents are given false hope: Do not worry too much if you got an F in English at HKCEE. Do not feel sad if your children can hardly make it to any English medium secondary school. Come to us and we provide education in English. Wow, isn't that what everyone is dreaming for? But, hey, wait, have parents thought of how such students handle the curriculum? |
