派位不理想, 可否去國際學校讀grade 1

PurpleSea

我女兒是細b,９月中出生.讀緊K1.  現在想緊應該同佢報讀下年國際學校讀grade 1, 但又怕佢年紀細, ９月入學時還末促５歲, 怕她追不上.  亦有想過等佢完Ｋ2才申請, 一邊讀Ｋ3等派位,又可以考私立學校.  如果派得唔好就去國際學校讀grade 1. 不過遲了１年, 唔知收唔收? 有冇媽咪可从比意見呀？

可能我的topic有Ｄmisleading, or我啲表達能力比較差.  其實我的first choice係IS.  我自己buy IS 果套多Ｄ.  但似Hipuppy所講, IS Ｄ中文同數真的比較淺.  其實個個父母對仔女都有期望, 但自己認為好的不一定適合仔女.  我唔知點解這處Ｄ媽咪講到IS就一定好, local school就唔好咁.  凡事都不是黑同白,總有灰色地帶.  而針亦沒有兩頭銳, 所从我才有點難取捨.  我只是想多聽意見.

這邊的家長大部份覺得 IS 好，當然係正常啦，
這邊的家長大部份都係 IS 家長，當然就係中意 IS 多 D  。

如果你想聽多 d local  school  的好處，可以去 "小學雜談" 問同樣的問題。

事物當然有黑白，
但係中唔中意，係個人的喜好，係可以好絕對的。

每種學校都有自己的 "捧場客" ，大家照自己的喜好選擇就好了，
人家選擇甚麼，喜歡甚麼，根本不重要。

我亦覺得有些少同感。坦白說家下見到的鬼佬他們對我們中國的文化和物件的appreciation高過自己本身是中國人的我們呢？並不是話個個中國人都唔著緊，亦唔係話係鬼佬就喜歡中國的事物。

但總有一些特別的例子的。正所謂有時身在其中，未必懂得珍惜的。最緊要係父母和家庭的教育。

I DONT AGREE, 一樣米養百樣人, 好多LOCAL 生都吾見得好ENJOY CHINESE CULTURE, 反之, 亦一定有IS student 喜歡中国文化. 呢D 父母教既! 我个女幼兒园讀IS到而家就嚟讀中學, 都好喜歡中国文化! ...

jjd,

To be fair, one major cons -

Because of the background of the ISs, the studnets, especially those from the local Chinese families, may be suffered from not being able to understnad / appreciate the Chinese culutre.

Except for learning Chinese, there is in general nothing that a local school is better than IS. Another cons in studying at IS is of course "$$$$$"

我個姨生讀國際學校小學一年班,中文同數學係比較淺,但係英文串字好勁,見佢英文課外書一大堆,程度好似深過本地中一英文!!!!!

Fattymom & Kimmymammy,
好高興有人認同我嘅想法, I wasn't trying to be mean, 只係眼見好多家長送小朋友入IS, either純粹想小朋友英文好 or 壓力無咁大 or 好似PurpleSea咁因入唔到band 1 local school.....這班家 ...

一入IS 深似海, 小朋友慣咗国際學校enviroment, 真係無可能再讀Local, 放咗落海既魚, 点仲會enjoy 係一級魚池 show off 吖. 反之好多local student 轉入IS. 点解? 小朋友自己己经用行為話咗答案啦!  如果喜歡local school, 我都認為入band 2, 再磨入band 1, 呢D為之正常攻略!

PurpleSea,
如果你首選係local school嘅,入唔到band 1小學,應該去讀band 2小學,成績好嘅可以嘗試遲些插番入band 1小學,而唔係入IS, IS係幫唔到你轉回你的dream local school(s)嫁!

local school 同 IS 既教學方法好唔同.  有D小朋友在local school 讀不上但轉了去IS就讀得好好.  其實不是IS的深淺問題, 而是活動教學另小朋友感興趣.  我細佬是好例子, band 1 local school 考尾二, 中四去了Canada ...

原來 Canada D 大學工程系咁易入架 !

I thought you were asking for views. If you know so much about IS, then why even bother asking? And in the end when someone provide you with information, you sounded so hostile?

I did not come here to argue which kind of education is better. Or to compete about 深淺. But the fact is, it is not as easy as many people think to get a place in IS. The easiest to enter any IS is Year 1, and as times goes by, it is getting harder and harder. You need to admit this fact.

Your brother's case is totally irrelevant. He went to Canada, not IS in Hong Kong. The fact that he is now in university does not mean that IS in Hong Kong would accept anyone. Spaces are limited in IS in Hong Kong and competition is keen. That's it. May be you do not like it, but this is a fact.

In any case, you sounded you really like local education a lot more and think IS (or studying in Canada) is really an easy way out. Plus, you also sounded very confident your child can get a place in IS at Year 2 anyway. Well, in that case, I think it would be wise if you stick to whatever you like more. Just forget about IS.

I never said IS is a rubbish can.  Pls don't take me wrong.  I just think my girl has a better chance to get in a IS than a Band 1 local school.

比少少資料家長參考。
在 07/08 及 08/09 這兩個學年，有不少 band 1 名校生，考插班 RC 的筆試/面試都考唔到，當中有 DGS，MCS，LS，GHS 等的學生。有幾個是我朋友的孩子，亦有是朋友的朋友的孩子，絕對不是人云亦云，我亦不怕開人家的校名。
RC 係新學校，即使是 08/09 都仍然未係 full capacity，部份級別在過去兩年都有在慢慢的加班，因此，其實已相對比其他國際學校多收插班生。
另外，同是ESF 旗下的 DC ，因為規模比 RC 細，學額早填滿，將來收插班生數目不會多。其他有口碑的國際學校 ( ESF，HKIS，CNDIS，GSIS 等 ) 收插班生的情形，亦不需要我再作個別評論，家長自行估計，我只會說，"也是比考 RC 更難" 就是了。
不知從何時開始，就有很多家長有 "讀唔上本地學校，大不了去讀國際學校囉" 這個觀念，我只能說，實在是一個遺憾，我也早已懶得解釋。

其實，如果真的是較喜愛本地主流學校，也不一定要入甚麼 band 1 名校。我自己識很多 "有幸" 入到名校的，根本無論父母和孩子都唔係真係咁開心；反而很多讀較 "普通" 的學校，孩子真的開朗得多。當然，人就係咁，唔考過，唔讀過，唔試過，可能真係唔會甘心，就睇你係唔係真係 "放得開" 啦。
家長其實可以去 "小學雜談" 那邊打聽下，有哪些學校是有口碑，慢慢考慮清楚。
