Being the father of a PC Kindergarden's student, luckily I don't have such 'bad' experience as some of you did. On the contrary, I found that the requirement expecially on the behaviour of the student are very high (actually it's a bit too high).
My son's head teachers in his K1 and K2 are quite nice. Besides, the quality of my son's classmate are also very good. Everytime I met their parents in the school day or other function, we shared our experience on how we grow up our kids, what kind of extra trainings on them are required and so on.
To me, I am very satisfied with the overall standard of the school so far.
Though we understand the administrators/clerks may be very busy, everybody should keep appropiate manner in all circumstances.
I am also surprised to read this post. To my impression, the advantage of PC should be the discipline and manner of students. How can they nuture good attitudes of students in such environment?
From pre-nursery, kindergarten to primary, I visited lots of so-called famous schools. You really can see the differences. Although some of them are very famous, you can see that they run everything smoothly and all teahcers/educational assistants/security guards/gardeners are very friendly and polite. It depends on how their senior management monitors the school.
Above figure doesn't make sense to me.
You can see that most of kids' parents working in EDB including those principals/teachers, most of them will put their kids in private schools or even international schools.
You may have this information when reading parental magazines. Sometimes they will show the background of their kids. Checking the kids of 孫明揚, 李國章, 羅太 and other principals, you will have clear picture.
Moreover, "grapes are sour without chances to enjoy" cannot apply on 樓主. Actually she got both good schools on her hands.
