I sort of read before a couple of families here with children from the same family going to different systems, local and international schools. Can't find the thread to read now. Anyway, I am planning (have decided) to put my second to local primary school since she's already in a relatively "tough" local kindergarten.
My eldest is already in an IS, and youngest likely to be going to the IS. Without going too much in details about why the odd for the one in the middle, I would really appreciate any families of the similar situation, meaning having children in different systems, share your experience and shed some lights.
Any kind of experience and what your thoughts are? Any kind of sharing would be very much appreciated.

Ultimately, I would be quite likely to move my second to IS, matter or sooner or later, cause I can't quite agree with having to go through that kind of unnecessary drilling works at most local schools, when kids are older and given the space to think for what they learn seems to make more sense.

Look forward to hearing from you parents.

Thanks CAA. That's for sure, even for kids in the same system but different schools.
Any other things?

我兒子間學校讀的是UK Curriculum, 我很開心為他選了IS這條路,愈讀愈覺得好適合他. 我時有上網比較本地課程和IS在某些科目上的分別. 如本地的常識科VS IS 的 "TOPIC" 科. IS 的 TOPIC 主要教 HISTORY, geography 和 SCIENCE 的知識, 視野亦較世界性; 我兒子喜歡各類科學,又愛小發明, IS 的科目很夾他, 他亦透過閱讀 Ancient Greek scientists, Ancient Italian scientists, Leoarndo Da Vinci, Galieo, Newton 等等的故事鼓勵了他凡事愛探索背後理論和思考; 相對他, 本地課程的常識科,比較注重硬知識和本地社會事件, 如XX局的功能. 局長是誰, 我們的袓國, 香港的衣食住行各方面, 個人衛生, 中國偉人, 出名的建築等等. 我相信對我的兒子來說, 他對這些知識的興趣一定遠不及他現在的科目 ....... (已不計IS在寫作和閱讀方面的訓練).

我的兩個小孩子由一年班至六年班在LS唸書。從中一開始他們就入了IS。所以有一段時間大女讀IS ,細仔是讀LS。但可能和你想問的case有一些不同。

Young children also need space to think.
I an afraid your younger one will be shaped into a hard working student without sufficient creativity and it will take a long time to antidote.
As u have already decided to do so, all i can say is good luck.

Btw, she will be going to 聖心私小in the Mid Levels。Ok, I am in my horror already, having heard so ...

I can for sure you will be regret for this school. My elder went there for 1 year. I dislike this school as time is spent on quiz everyday, not on teaching .

I have 3 kids as well. My eldest one goes to a LS but interactive-based DSS, middle one goes to IS, am planning the youngest one goes to either one of them, but planning to put them all in IS eventually when they goes to secondary. For all those I know having one kid in LS and one kid in IS, there is always a question the one studying in LS will ask, WHY my brother / sister (the one in IS) are so free and having so much leisure time? Somehow it creates conflicts among them. My case should be better than yours as at least my eldest one is in an interactive-based which means are not given too much homework, but for your case, Sacred Heart and IS are seriously 2 extremes, i would suggest u really need to think twice. Imagine the one studying in Sacred Heart always need to study always over the weekends and the other 2 in IS are having nothing to do, then which side will you go? Will u choose to stay home and do revision with your LS kid and sacrify the playtime of your IS kid? or will u go out and having your family playtime with your IS kid but to leave your LS kid at home and study with your another half or a helper? Think about it.

And the one at SH will also ask why my sis/bro never goes to school on Saturdays and why their holidays are always longer plus little or even no homework for holidays..... But maybe this thread owner just wants someone to say something nice about SH to "reassure" him/her" that his/her decision is wise...

To be honest , both my kids went through 6 years of LS, one in chinese LS, and one in English LS. For the Chinese LS one, it was six horrible years. Now i transfer him to VSA, and finally he has time to think, reflect, discuss and express his opinions freely.

I think most parents put their kids in IS as we all dislike the spoon-feed education in Hong Kong which imposes heavy pressure on our kids at their young age. I think to a certain extend, the owner of this page agrees with it and that's why you put your eldest or even planning the youngest in IS. Though no system is perfect, what I am trying to say is, if you plan a LS for the middle one, at least not that extreme like SH?

My friend once transfered his younger son to a elite local school P1 while the elder son stayed in IS. The younger son refused to study for exams and do homework because "elder brother did not have to do it". After a few years, my friend surrendered and transferred him back to IS. Mind you both his sons are very smart and gifted (IQ test confirmed).

Your middle one will blame you even when she/he becomes an adult. She will think why you treat her/him so badly. Think twice.
