DBSPD interview today - bad experience

kaifu

We have never been to a school who treated parents so badly.  Hundreds of parents and boys were waiting in the small area outside their entrance with cars and taxi passing by all the time.  Why couldn't they open up some areas for us to wait?   We have interviewed at much smaller schools which allowed parents to wait comfortably inside.  
And the DBS staff/teachers kept speaking in their microphone which could only be heard inside the school.  Everytime they made an annoucement parents were rushing toward the small entrance, but they kept asking us to stay away from it.
They even asked the early comers to "walk down the hill" with their boys to find some places to "sit" and "walk up the hill" back to the school later.  
I hope they are nicer to the parents of their current students, otherwise we would think twice whether our boy should go and study there!

有感而發... 我這幾年都有上bk的習慣, 發覺持續地都有家長批評dbs的態度問題, 尢其在它公布派位前後. 當中十個有九個家長不是說它太"寸",便是說它不理別人感受. 沒錯, 本人也十分認同. 但儘管如此, 試問如果它現在對 ...

You are probably right.  But most boys of the unhappy parents (including us) are likely to be not successful in the 1st interview, and they won't have a chance to demonstrate their "courage".  On the other hand, two things are sure for us.  1. We won't apply for P2 or higher level admission to DBSPD.  2. We won't apply for P1 admission to this school for a second boy.  Period.

有感而發... 我這幾年都有上bk的習慣, 發覺持續地都有家長批評dbs的態度問題, 尢其在它公布派位前後. 當中十個有九個家長不是說它太"寸",便是說它不理別人感受. 沒錯, 本人也十分認同. 但儘管如此, 試問如果它現在對你說收你的兒子入讀, 你真的能夠放棄嗎? 我想不會有太多人能有勇氣放棄它吧! dbs喎! 放棄的話不會後悔嗎?? 以dbs名氣之大, 不是都蓋過了甚麼態度問題,安排問題嗎!?

本人便自問沒有這個勇氣了. 當然, 如果我有spcc offer在手, 那便另當別論.

這是無奈的.

乜校長唔理？任得D老師/校工自己發揮？求人係要低頭，但D店大又係家長供養或支持，唔多覺DBS的家長反映，定係做左家長，就係自己人，有好好招呼？佢一定有實力，可以乜 band的學生都成功？

I went to the DBS interview on 24 Oct. Overall, I was happy with the arrangement.

A friend's son also got hit. But the boy told the teacher immediately. The teacher then took the "bad boy" outside th ...

My boy just told me that he was asked to build something with Lego.  He wanted to build a ship, but some parts were taken by other kids, he asked those kid generally if they would share it with him, but they refused.  He ended up not having it done.  He also told me that he had to answer so question about the VCD he watched.  That's all he told me.

見到你這樣分享, 我都想講下最近聽到一件真人真事.
話說有個小朋友今年插佐入DBS小二, 佢每天都搭校車, 有一日有個小五生, 走去同佢講, "都唔明學校點解會比你插班, 睇你個樣咁頓." 而個小二生都不甘示弱, "我都唔明點解你會入到黎, 你咁無家教."
雖然只是個別事件, 我不希望學校這樣培養我的小朋友.  當然家長有好大責任, 但"昔孟母, 擇鄰處,..."
我希望我囝囝成為一個有品德既人, 多於係學術一流.

補充一下....

而家, 佢玩個時會好癲, 不過如果係比人打, 佢會即刻抽個身出黎同我or 大人講有人打佢, 唔會還手, 可能佢知道打人係唔好卦, 不過如果佢覺得係玩緊而郁手郁腳, 佢就會同人咁做, 整整下人地大力得濟, 佢又會望住大人求救....

Happywoo

你這麼一說, 我有點兒汗顏.... 講真, 沒有什麼tips, 只是不停remind 佢唔好同人有碰撞, 如果唔係, 佢自己or 別人就會好似表哥咁受傷, 可能個次表哥面上那2條血痕好震撼 (不過我姐姐即他mami是nurse, 她說條痕好快會好... 那時我先冇咁內疚...), 佢記得好清楚卦.....

同時, 當佢比人打or 受傷時, 我會問佢係咪好痛, 佢話係個時, 我就會同佢講別人比佢咁對待都會好痛GA... 佢冇出聲, 不過個樣好似若有所思咁, 可能佢會記得卦...

其實, 佢小時好鐘意推人, 用力不當, 又脾氣不受控,不過大大下佢又好d, 雖然而家仍然會玩得好癲, 不過一叫都會停一停, 之後又黎過, 不過比起以前已經好好多la, 我以前都一度認為佢有過度活躍証ga...ha

多謝你的關心，我囝囝沒有事，在當天他已經沒有事的, 他還很高興的說dbs好好玩, 好鍾意這間學校... 正如你所講, 我並唔係想追究, 只是唔開心學校並未將小朋友放在第一位..... 對家長亦無尊重之意, 我唔想囝囝係 ...

cemily

khyc,


My understanding is if you've selected English (or Putonghua) as the medium in your application submission, the whole interview including 2nd interview with the parents will be conducted in English (or Putonghua as appropriate). Otherwise, Cantonese will be used throughout.

Hi cemily,

Thanks for your info.  My son had the interview on 25/10.  He said that his interview was conducted in Eng.  Was your son's interview conducted in Eng too?

Thanks a lot!

Get phone call before the letter for 2nd interview.

我同意你的講法, SPCC係我首選的小學, 但當然沒有機會2ND INTERVIEW.  撇開名校呢個POINT, 我覺得呢間學校係好注重小朋友德育的裁培, 無論小朋友係學校成績怎, 他們一定會學到禮貌, 尊重, 怎樣才可以另小朋友學到/知道德育嘅重要, 就係要有好榜樣, 我真係好欣賞呢間學校嘅老師同學生. 不過好可惜囝囝無緣入讀

同時亦多謝你的讚賞, 囝囝小時令表哥臉上lau 下血痕 (雖然很快便好), 令我時時警惕他要忍讓, 可喜的是他知錯能改, 會時常刻制自己情緒, 並無令別人有更大的傷害, 可能因為這樣, 佢比人打完之後, 便遠遠行開.....

HappyWoo,

Weekend 看到你的 sharing, 心有點唔舒服, 你囝囝冇事嘛? 小朋友被推撞至流血, 我覺得並唔係小事, 雖未必要追究責任或誰是"曳仔", 但既然老師知道, 理應通知父母呀。

From your sharing, can feel that  ...

且不論那個副校長的公關手法如何，這只是其中一個例子我覺得其他學校比dbs 優勝的地方, 可能dbs 在學術上 or 學習氣氛上比其他學校好, 但我覺得這不是小學生涯唯一的得著, 小學生的教育也不只於此, 當然我也認同dbs是一間好學校, 不過見微之知, dbs 並不是我想要的學校, 冷酷無情, 但又令學生出類拔萃, 小朋友經歷怎樣的學校生活, 我不敢想, 亦不是我想要的.....

另一方面, 同樣是有差不多二千人報名的spcc, 無論報名or面試安排絕對比dbs 優勝得多, 家長經驗絕對愉快, 如果用這二間作比較, 我想一定不會言過其實吧?!! 我是很了解才下定論的尼!!
