Rightmind Kindergarten

gor_gor

漫無目的咁黎咗呢度,見到有d家長對Rightmind既comment,下面有位媽媽講得好啱,唔係個個家長都作出comment.可能0係呢度讀書既部份家長都係非富則貴啦,所以佢地根本無需要好似我地咁可以透過呢個平台黎舒發一下,而咁啱我個小朋友舊年讀梗PN,今年就開始佢既K1生涯.

的而且確,0係呢年多既日子里面,我都同樣感覺到呢間絕對係一間極之牟利既kindergarten,除咗school fee貴(今年要$4,495/月),雜費,同埋uniform等等,一大堆支出真係唔少野.至搞笑到時到候學校會叫小朋友去募捐呀,什麼0係邊度擺咗個charity counter,叫家長捐d禮物去,什麼sponsor學校既咩咩咩等...至搞笑既就係在無通知既情況下,無端端將我之前報咗佢地既lamma island tour既$擺咗去比四川震災...

至於佢地既教學,我暫時未發掘得到點樣.唯一我認同既係佢地採用英普教學.同埋我覺得最重要既係小朋友讀得開唔開心,如果佢返到去,成日咸既話,呢間學校要唔要都罷.就係因為我見到我個小朋友返呢度都几開心,一來又0係屋企附近.

至於老師方面就一dd啦,舊年讀PN既國語老師就唔錯,好注重同關心小朋友,但今年K1呢個就麻麻地勒.而班主任同英文老師都係一樣,但聽我個maid講,就唔係成日個個老師都齊晒0係度,呢樣野我就覺得有點兒欺騙.

另外,有一樣野好就好在唔使interview小朋友羅,因為有位佢地一定會收既.省卻咗一d煩既事,免得做完interview後,一心諗住讀呢間既,點知就唔收而令到家長失晒預算,就好似之前我曾報victoria咁,到最後同你講唔收但又waiting list...到最後連覆都無覆...too bad!

寫到呢度先,日後有咩其它特別既,我都會通知吓大家,亦都希望其他家長幫忙一下,比d有關呢間kindergarten既 comment.

The following is my experience with KinderU/Rightmind:

I attended a talk conducted by the management of KinderU / Rightmind some time ago, and I was told that if we have any questions regarding the teaching of our children, we were welcome to send them emails. So I sent an email to KinderU asking for their advice on how to teach my child phonics and spelling.

I got a return mail from KinderU, and they asked me a few questions on how I was teaching my child at the moment. They also asked me if my child had joined KinderU or Rightmind. I then told them that I had attended their trial lesson but did not join in the end because their timetable did not fit my son's schedule (as their lesson was in pm and my son attended school in pm also).

KinderU then returned another mail to me reprimanding me for not planning well for my son. They told me if I had planned well and had sent my son to proper training (ie at KinderU/Rightmind), my son would have taught himself how to read and spell by now. They kind of implied that it's very late to do anything now, and they did not give me any advice on what I could do now to train up my son. (PS my son is only 3.5 years old!)

Their reply was very rude. I felt that they were angry and refused to give me any advice just because I did not enrol in their school.  

Before this incident, I've considered joining one of their courses (if not, I would not have paid $390 for their trial lesson). But now, I don't think I would entrust my son's education in such narrow minded people's hands.

好開心，終於等到有人再發表，但在你o地未發表前我都唔會再考慮哩間嘢（唔想用學校來形容，因哩間嘢在本人心目中唔稱得上係一間學校），返學唔係 only 學認字，還要學好品德，還有好多其它認字以外嘅嘢，各位家長有時間都可以返屋企開 ...

可能我哋呢一代英文基礎唔好, 所以大家都想個細路基礎打好啲.......我都心大心細
RM真係掂..不過..若你擔心將來升小學or中學的問題, 你可考慮讀kingston or 啟思 又或耀中
以上都有一條龍
你由k1開始讀一定有位俾你
kingston最好, 讀完kd, 大部份國際學校都收

我老公成日同我讀, hk人分兩種, 一係有$$一係冇, 你有$$唔怕揀國際學校, 因為佢哋通常睇$$份上, 再唔係送佢過外國讀書,
冇$$唔緊要, 揀有政府資助囉, 反正讀書唔係真係最重要, 依家攞住大疊證書學位都搵唔到工啦, 幫個細路打好個底, 之後教佢投資抄股票, 呢啲先係我哋做父母要考慮的

d姐姐黑口黑面,我又唔覺,相反我d小朋友見到姐姐都鍾意同佢玩

我2兒子都在RM讀,大兒子現在灣仔某小學讀小一,因在RM已學了很多字,上小一已不用費力,功課快而準,班主任也給評語係喜出望外,他們是有一份自信,英文test和默書都是滿份,也是夲人喜出望外,他們在家中也多是英語對話,反和我們,才講回廣束話

I believe that the class size of 23 kids in a K3 class is not small.

小兒現讀K3有23人1班,都唔係好少人呀

cornelius

"K3 has fewer kids?!" - is it because some kids have already gone to international primary schools after K2?

It's very normal for IS kinders to have very few students at K3 level (if these kinders run K3 for the sake of local parents).  Rightmind, though not exactly an IS kinder, does not kids going to IS primary every year.

只要你去開過家長會, 你就想知道為什麼k3會咁少人, 而k2又比k1少人數...

I read both good and bad comments before I make decision, when I come back to good thing about RM, I can only hear how many Chinese words the student can recognize and 程度 ...., no more. But bad things are too many. The same I hear both good and bad comments of Victoria but found out that good things more than bad, that's it.

I believe both Rightmind and Victoria are commercial.  While RM has a lot to catch up or improve, I would like to bring to the attention of parents looking for Victoria that some parents regard Victoria kinder's curriculum is too easy, causing problems in bridging primary school education.  Take a look at:
http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=1679241&page=1#pid26353271 (the parent mentioned in the 3rd paragraph that the kinder curriculum of Victoria was 程度都比不上另一間local傳統學校)  In fact I have heard many similar comments regarding Victoria kinder's curriculum.

For Putonghua/English stream in Victoria kinder, one has to caution because from my own experience, I have heard some Victoria kinder's Putonghua teachers speak HK style Putonghua.  Very stunning!

Despite being commented as "commercial", I appreciate Rightmind's rich curriculum through which kids can learn a lot happily.  It's a truly bilingual kinder with teachers who are native speakers of English or Putonghua.  The language environment is excellent, unlike the 疑似 native Putonghua teaching by other kinders.

While I don't want to highlight its English curriculum - which may be easily compared by benchmarking other "commercial" kinders, I wish to talk about its Putonghua curriculum.  Its 中華字經 lessons are really wonderful.  It helps the kids to easily recognise Chinese characters and read them out in Putonghua which is really amazing.  For example, my kid who is in K1 can read the taught portion of 中華字經 at home.  He just learns it naturally and happily (we don't send him to take extracurricular Putonghua courses).  A parent I know has also praised that 中華字經 helps her kid cope with P.1 dictation.  Her kid needs little effort in doing revision while his classmates not.

With the rich curriculum that RM offers, I incline to say that the current tuition fee is worth it.  Of course, some may think otherwise, but I believe RM has its fans too.

GOOD LUCK TO U! I will also go back to traditional school when P1.

小豆豬

mossma

我個囡讀緊pn班.. 我個囡個班主任都算ok wor, 成日都會keep住打俾我, 講下我個囡在學校的情況呢~

我個囡以前係企, 唔執玩具, 自返學後, 佢懂得自己收捨玩具.. 好神奇.. 見到人, 又會好主動地say hi and bye

我試過接個囡放學兩次, d老帥都好ok, 又hug又kiss我個囡..(可能我係度吧!!?!?!?)

commercial?我都覺得係..佢真係好多宣傳, 學費又真係好貴~ 所以我仲唸緊俾唔俾k1 留位費.. 好貴好貴.. 頂唔到啦....

Yes, I'll apply Victoria,

小豆豬, how about you?

mossma

我絕對同意你既講法, 我都問過住海怡的朋友, 佢地都唔俾小朋友讀呢間學校, 因為出名commercial....

好開心，終於等到有人再發表，但在你o地未發表前我都唔會再考慮哩間嘢（唔想用學校來形容，因哩間嘢在本人心目中唔稱得上係一間學校），返學唔係 only 學認字，還要學好品德，還有好多其它認字以外嘅嘢，各位家長有時間都可以返屋企開著部機同小朋友一面聽一面 play flash card la, 個龍頭都唔好間嘢會好得去邊，這機構沒有得罪本人，而本人只是副到其 SH 機構參觀過一次同email 來往, my feeling that it is a commercial center, 佢o地 marketing 就做得好好 la, 但辦學就有排都追唔上，因為冇愛，連Ｄ呀姐都做到口黑面黑，相反我都參觀過同一起地區嘅維記，feeling 完全相反。
各位家長緊記，小朋友返學有好多嘢比 懂認字多 更緊要，最緊要連家長都要覺得俾＄俾得舒服，咁至係買啱嘢囉。

小豆豬

我在開完家長會後覺得為什麼這間幼稚園會一年比一年少學生???? 為何有這個現象?????
今年K3非常之少人....

小豆豬

你可否分享你不快的經歷???
我覺得佢地係睇學生的背景去對待學生和家長.....(小朋友未讀書已領教) 所以我就算已交了1個月學費, 我都可能會退學, 因我唔想我小朋友會唔高興和對佢以後做人會有影響...
