大家覺得rightmind點

rightmind點涵接小學

我都有參觀過在海怡的校址, 覺得他們的辦校方法好好, 但好想知讀完k3之後是否只可用攪珠方式選心目中的小學呢?

另讀緊的家長覺得呢間學校點呢?  他不是學劵的, 是否物有所值呢?  同傳統的幼稚園又點選擇呢?

Normally school notices are prepared by the Admin Section.  I guess the notices will not be proof-read by the NETs, nor is there someone meticulous (or capable?) enough to check for grammatical accuracy.  

I'm rather fine so long as the NETs focus on teaching but admin tasks other than assessing the kids' performance.

I think HK locals are not keen on falut-finding, they focus on teaching their children the right way of writing, talking, behaving.....  How can parent explain to their children when come across with school's minor grammatical mistakes, teach them not to be serious?  Can primary school admit their interviewee with such training?  We have to fit in the education system and get into a good primary school.

Actually, school notices are not big deal.  Hope the children are taught to speak in good Enghlish & PTH at the school.

Why stop teaching 中華字經 if the kids love to follow and immitate the sounds?  At least the learning process helps the kids to speak PTH and I bet the tremendous amount of speaking exercise (including this 中華字經 portion) is beyond compare.   I think RM should keep it together with 弟子規.

朋友話學校大部份老師和接線生都無問題, 最大問題係火車頭喎, 唔係點解校長又走,老師又走,連學生班別人數越來越少(少到好少啦)

This is not true, as least not for my kid's class which is still very full (some 20+ students) (I sometimes hope it would be better if the class size is smaller).

For the school bus arrangement, we have no clues since we don't need the service.

Btw, thomas2, it seems a bit strange that you registered with BK in June but only sent out the first mail by today (and all mails responding to this BK thread as at this moment).  Interesting enough, your ID is thomas2 that resembles the name of a prominent figure of the RM kinder.

Yes, so many thomas here and in reality.  I do have interest in sharing with thomas2, we seem to share similar concerns over school curriculum.  I don't object in learning serious words, but to concrete children's memory, simpler and easy understanding words do work better.  If the school changes the curriculum and puts more emphasis on 弟子規, is it to admit that the decision of teaching 中華字經 is not appropriate for children at kinder age?

Thomas1,

你好, 我BB今年9月將會在RIGHTMIND讀N1班, 一直有聽聞他的行政比較混亂, 加上最近因交DEPOSIT, 或收他的通知等書信來往等等...經歷過後就更是不安....幸好打電話去查詢他們都是有禮的, 才感覺好一點...

...

我唔咪thomas 1, 但我都相分享一下.

朋友話學校大部份老師和接線生都無問題, 最大問題係火車頭喎, 唔係點解校長又走,老師又走,連學生班別人數越來越少(少到好少啦)眼

校車安排,我朋友話不是擔心準時的問題,而是一群司機輪流做,今天是叔叔,明天是伯伯,數星期是紋身哥哥,數月後又來一個係穿鼻環(朋友個女仲知道個司機穿埋肚臍環),有一日通知校車不再坐,個嬸嬸話不需要給新司機個電話啦....如此的安排你還會擔心遲到嗎?不如擔心個小朋友安全啦......事件已經差不多一個學年啦,希望各位家長繼續等等等到小朋友長大啦.....

校長或主任都話控制唔到因為今年同這間

cornelius

順帶一提, 達國際學校水平? 好似連學校d通告都未達此水平喎

Haha, this is really true.  It is not difficult to find minor grammatical mistakes in school notices or letters.  As this would affect the image of the kinder, I think its mgt should pay more effort in proofreading the correspondence beforehand.

Btw, how come there are so many "thomasX" at the same time?

Hi Debbie

行政混亂就真係有待改善, 我就等咗2年, 仲要等, 希望好似cornelius話齌, 以Principal Lo咁dedicated and committed既領導下快d有改善啦.我亦贊同reception兩位姐姐好有禮, 但當然梗係行政安排妥當, 唔需家長經常電話查詢比較好.

個人愚見:
1. 其實小朋友SPELLING, 英/普聽講能力好壞, 好睇家長同屋企點配合. 自小就只睇英文故事, 卡通, 聽英/普歌, 聽力方面差極有限. 但要小朋友講英/普, 就要靠學校老師多與小朋友交談, 令佢地習慣講英/普. 但老師流失率/突發性放假時間都幾大/長. 至於spelling, 學校又好似冇考d小朋友喎, 重點唔係放喺呢道. 學校推行右腦教學, 只要求學生認字. 中文書寫就k2至開始訓練, 如果要同傳統幼稚園比較, 一定差d, 始終係國際學校嘛. (順帶一提, 達國際學校水平? 好似連學校d通告都未達此水平喎)
2. 大部份家長比得$4000/mth, 一定對學校有所要求, 點會唔反映意見? 有成效就唔洗繼續等學校改善啦, 不過學校絶對唔會拒絶同家長溝通既.
3. 上校車時間可以有20+分鐘差距, 不過學校都有向校車公司反映, 如學校所講, 校車壞車, 交通擠塞, 學校控制唔到. 學校話其實每日都容許15mins比小朋友settle, 真正教學時間通常遲15mins, 所以小朋友都唔算遲.  其實搭校車, 家長最擔心係司機揸車安全問題, 司機質素, 不過有得揀, 梗係自已帶番校安全d啦.

希望答到你d問題啦.

坊間的幼稚園好多都是三文兩語啦,亦都是個英文老師和普通話老師再加QKD喎.......

Apparently yes.  But one has to be careful.  For instance, the so-called PTH teacher might not really be one having good PTH proficiency.  I had the experience of visiting a famous kinder (a chain group starting with the letter "V"), the PTH teacher spoke terrible PTH.

小朋友接觸這些有深度的書,有沒有人講解呢?如果只識讀而不知其意, 有用嗎?

I guess you are referring to 中華字經.  Personally I also find the Chinese characters really difficult, even general HK locals cannot pronounce some words in Cantonese.  We also had a family discussion over the concern you raised.  We find that for simpler ones, the PTH teacher would try to explain to the kids, but for those really difficult ones, it would not be practical to make things clear to a group of 2-year-old kids.  Well, it doesn't matter as we look at the way the right brain works.  We try to impress on the right brain the sound and shape of individual characters before they reach the age of 6, and that would somehow become longer term memory.  When the kids grow older and come across the Chinese characters, that memory will work.

Besides 中華字經, the kinder also teaches 弟子規 (which is now quite popular in local kinders).  The Chinese characters are relatively simpler and their meaning is more appealing to be taught to small kids like mine.  Take for instance, "父母呼  應勿緩" is more easily teachable by class master and comprehensible by kids at such a young age.

講什麼話都假,$4000不算貴但亦不算平囉...最緊要係老師係咪懂得教小朋友先(質疑外籍教師識講不識教),國際學校老師會唔會時常轉先? 聽講開辦至今已經換了數個校長喎.....小朋友會點呢??????

Well, you are quite right that it would be a big problem if the NETs don't know how to teach.  As far as the class of our kid is concerned, we find that both the NET and the native PTH teacher are very dedicated and caring, and they are much welcomed by the kids.  Together with the teaching assistant, the three people have stayed from last Sep up to now (perhaps we are lucky).  Regarding the change of principal, I would consider it a good sign b'cos the new princinpal is actually not new, but has joined the kinder group for 18 years (according to a recent speech by Mr Ho).  She is from RM kinder (Chi Fu) and definitely she knows more clearly the VMV (i.e. vision, mission and values) of the kinder group (I guess the previous principal(s) might be too new in this respect).
