Re:CWB Ling Liang Tong VS So-Chek

I finished the interview in LLC today and it make me feel upset and not comfortable...

This is my 1st choice kidergarten before. My son have accepted by So-Chek already. As before I thought so-chek is too old fashion school but have mandarin. Therefore I have picked so-chek also.

After today, I do more like so-chek (their teacher and enviroment) rather than LLC. It make me feel more nature and comfortable.

Any parents have any comment about this 2 school??

Re:CWB Ling Liang Tong VS So-Chek

我今日都去左面試，我覺得D老師好假，好“鳳成”個校長，整個過程好悶，又成日話自己間學校有9xx人考，老師無笑容！
呢間唔係我心儀的學校，本來諗住唔去，但係見無野做咪去下囉~~其他野都唔想多講，但呢間學校在我心目中就絕對唔係一間好學校囉~~

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

Dear all

我昨日都帶左囡囡去靈糧堂面試，的老師態度一般啦。
第二部份的內容，我覺得比較無聊同費解。

呢間都唔係我心儀的學校，都係志在羅下經驗，不寄厚望。

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

我都有同感!

我今天也帶了囡囡去靈糧堂面試
接待的老師對我們態度也不錯
而負責第一部份的老師
也能耐心地問囡囡問題

反而是第二部份的內容
則令我費解
難道要求小孩子很刻意地去sell自己?

至於提及報名人數達到900人一點
更是沒有意義
是賣弄?
是想給家長壓力?
還是想擺出高姿態?
須知報名人數跟一間學校的優劣並無直接關係
大家也不要忘記該校報名期特別長

此外對於強調不用寫生字
也有點奇怪
我比較有興趣於小朋友在學校裡所能學到的
而不是有哪些東西是不會教啊

無論如何
能夠安排校長親身出來跟小朋友見面
還是很感謝她們的誠意

關於我囡囡的表現
我覺得她已經做得很好
只是對於能否從900名小朋友中突圍而出
則不予寄望了

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

My daughter attended LLC interview on 19Nov 3:00pm which made me very disappointed as she could not speak well but the teacher still ask her 5 questions without consider her ability.

babylaw, OK 啦。各花入各眼，得看緣份。
去年好像有過千人報，在競爭這方面，今年相對已經較去年少。

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

of course no one will expect a kid about 3 can answer all questions logically.  I believe they wish to test the responses / intelligences of the kids.

All "famous schools", especially those have keen competition for admission, must use something to distinguish the kids they want and they do not want.  Otherwise there is no way to select the kids they wish to enrol, who will be also the kids most welcomed by "famous primary schools" after 3 years, right?

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

唉....本來對靈糧堂好有期望.. 點知....

我都有去in 靈糧堂, 真係好鬼假呀, 嘩…. d 老師真係… d 戲又唔得, 就唔好扮啦..

不過我對llc有d 好唔滿意, 因為:

(1) 入場時, 比張sheet我地, 講明只準一個家長同一個考生入內, 點知人人都係一家三口入去, 我老公同我就傻到, 真係我一個人入去, 我都唔明, 學校點解寫一套, 事實又另一套;

(2) 到最後個關, 個2個老師係度, 一入課室就話, lee 度有2個學生我識既, 因為佢地係邊個邊個個細妹, 又係邊個個細老咁, 係咪即係話實收佢呀… 咁我地lee d 你唔識, 係咪唔收呀

(3) 到校長, 最尾叫小朋友時, 又同其中一個mommy 講, 呀, 我認得你啦… 你本身係我地既舊生來ga… 哦, 你個小朋友呀.. 呀..你真係要返來學生入舊生committee 啦.. 咁..係咪即係又收呀….

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

My kid went to LLT for intereview this Sun. The first part was ok. For the second part, I was surprised by the two teachers' ass-kissing attitude. The Principal, though, looked good and sincere. You know, she interviews kids in all of the four LLT kindergartens.
Before I submit the applications, everyone said it is a good school. After the interview, there are so many negative comments. Can any parents of current students give some reasons to support why LLT is good to study at?

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

interview到最後要小朋友上前跟校長說再見
而這是校長唯一可以單獨觀察小朋友的機會
難道單憑一句"byebye"就可以斷定小朋友的能力?
還是要求小朋友跳舞唱一段"so long, farewell"去sell自己?
我覺得應該可以跟小朋友傾幾句
例如問是否喜歡剛才的唱遊, etc.

也許是我多心誤會了
不過既然他們強調有如此多小朋友報名
就更應該花多點心思去想辦法access小朋友的能力
單從這方面就看不出該校的專業水平了

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

Different kinder have different assessment methods.  I can see some parents complaining about asking too many questions which was considered beyond the kids' ability while others are complaining not enough assessment on their kids.  The world looks very different when it is perceived from different people.

"要小朋友sell自己" is a description / perception by parents.  The words used may not be that positive. But it is also a fact that when we go for an interview, we need to present the best of ourselves so that others could have a cue to choose us.

My girl had interviewed LLC and Ling Nam last year.  Both have very easy going process.  I believe they observe the response (反應) of the kids all along. The assessment is of course not only based on the word "bye bye". Don’t over-simplify the situation.

About 人士關係 -- It is also a reality on earth -- may you like it or not.... no matter in applying for Primary Schools, Secondary Schools or even apply for a job....  human relationship will influence.  But I am very pretty sure that most of the students are based on interview performance, including my girl and many of her classmates.

After all, I believe the interview arrangement is not equal to the education ability of a school. Like my comment given to 港大同學會小學 when many parents complained after they came back from the interview.

My girl is studying in LLC.  I would say this is a kinder that really cares about kids.  The headmaster and teachers are working very hard.  They care not only about kids', they also about whether the parents are good enough to groom up the kids.  Well, may be I should not use the word "good enough", I should say "able to 配合"

It is not the lost of LLC for those who surrender.  Every morning I meet the parents of my girls’ classmates when we are waiting for the school bus.  We are so grateful for able to have kids studying in LLC.  I bet many parents including youngyoundmama and Babylaw who have kids studing in LLC also share the view. We actually do not know each other in person.  We just happen to meet in BK.

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

Hello, chuchumui & all parents who have kids applied and attended the interviews of LLC this year,

I can proudly say that I have made one of my best choices in the life last year, to send my son to LLC !!  You should know that at that time, it was really a tough and painful choosing process since in fact, we got all offers from schools which we applied and we thought all of them have good reputations.

Besides, I can still remember that in Sept. before starting school, I was also a little bit disappointed about the administrative arrangements of the school.
However, in the last three months, I started to realize that my 'painful choice' is correct.  Compared to the very reasonable tuition fee, we got too many. My son also learnt a lot.  Everybody around us, even the security guards downstairs in the living place, noticed my son's growth and happiness.

Like many of you, I always share experience with other parents who have kids studying in other kinders. Each time we compare the activities, classes and other resources of the schools, eg. on-line resources, playground facilities, etc. etc. (in fact, it's not good to compare, but who can stop comparing ?!

: ) the result is other parents all envy us !!

Like all other kinds of interviews, interviews arranged by kindergartens are 'matching games'.  Schools choose the most suitable kids.  Parents choose the most suitable school, right ?  So take it easy !!

LLC (Causeway Bay) was founded in 1972 (I am quite familiarize with this coz when I first knew it, I was surprised that the school is older than me !!) so principal and teachers would know how to select the kids they want, either through questions, or simple phrases like 'bye bye', etc.  Kids don't know how to express themselves in an essay or a speech, of course.  So from some simple words, teachers (sometimes even we ourselves) would know the response and intelligence of the kids.  Agree?

Anyway, being parents, I believe we all have one single hope - - our lovely kids can study in a school which suits them the most and can fill up their childhood with happy learning, wonderful playing and beautiful growing !!

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

Thanks youngyoungmama and chuchumui for sharing your experience. As the two of you have already gone through the tough process to select a kinder, can you give your opinions about how to choose among the following kinders:
(1) 聖公會(畢拉山)
(2) 聖保羅堂(中環鐵崗)
(3) 靈糧堂(銅鑼灣)
(4) 嶺南
(5) 維多利亞(銅鑼灣, 英文/普通話)
(6) 蘇浙(北角)
Thanks a lot!

Re: Causeway Ling Liang Tong Interview

Paulinevin,

Everybody has their own criterias for assessing kinders, based on their different needs.  Here're mine -
- environment
- facilities (to me, outdoor playground is a must)
- teaching staff
- resources (eg. on-line resources, etc.)
- location
- tuition fee (some are unreasonably high)
- feedbacks from other people
- which primary schools most graduates go

ummmmmm... here're my comments on your listed kinders:-

(1) Know some kids studying here.  They are all happy and cheerful kids. But location may not be quite convenient for those who do not live nearby;

(2) Hearsay it's good too.  Any outdoor facilities?  It's far from my living place so did not visit it before;

(3) See below;

(4) A good friend's daughter studying here and her comments are all quite negative (eg. no on-line facility, no 觀課 arrangement, etc.) and then the little girl doesn't want to go to school everyday;

(5) You want you kid to learn Putonghua at school as 1st language?  If this is your purpose, then of course this is the only choice.  Personally I don't like environment of this branch, quite old.  And tuition fee, you know.  I have 1 year personal experience with Victoria (nursery).  Then you see we changed school

(6) Int'l branch?  If yes, same comments as on (5).  I don't know whether it is a one dragon tail school.  Even yes I believe this would not be an advantage because its secondary is not ok at all.

Hope you can make the best choice for your kid !!
