香港民生, 北角衛理堂, 嶺南幼兒園大家有咩意見呢??

No worry, my in-laws speaks Fujian (which even I cannot understand) and all people around my kid speak Cantonese. I did not speak to my child in English neither before she was 1.5 years old.  Same as you, I am a working mum, and when my child is 1.5 years old, I tried to speak to her in English 1/4 of the time when I am home (only me speak in English)......my girl can master simple English coversation now (she is now almost 3.5 years old)....of course, you don't expect her to have the native essence lah as my oral English is not that good.  

Some of my friends oppose this approach.  They said if our English Essence is not good, then don't teach.  Just let them learn with the native speaker outside or in school.

well... I try to use full english to talk to her.. but I will back to work next week.. not much time to teach her... also my 老爺奶奶 always teach her 潮州話.. what can I do

Sorb

Yes, more efficient way of teaching is teach at home if your English is not too bad.........if a child exposes to a language almost every day (no need to be every hour), she/he can master it better or learn it faster.  Playgroup if once a week do not help too much in my opinion.  You can also complement it with English baby video -like English children songs.

Nowadays, the English playgroup for learning English has activities like singing songs, telling stories, etc.

I think you can also teach your baby if you have time.

你分析好好呀,我又學到野

唔係因為我太有信心K1會考到好幼稚園,
而係因為我同囡囡都係天主教徒,
一定會比佢同天主教學校,
PN之所以揀基督教/冇宗教幼稚園係因為
天主教幼稚園好少有半日制PN,
我認識嘅只有RHS, 但我覺得太貴。

I think a reasonably good "PN" as a backup give you a "safe feeling" when you apply KGs for your kid next year.....so, to me PN is also important unless you are pretty sure you can secure a place in a ...

Agreed.....

Sometimes I think those "not so nice" teachers may not be bad teachers, it's just that the way of their teaching style is different. As long as they're not scolding our children with no reason or use inappropriate language or manner, and able to deliver what they're suppose to do is fine. Guess one of our goals to send our children to school is to learn self discipline and we all know that in order to make it effective, sometimes being too nice isn't the right solution...of course may scare of the child especially they're first time at school all by themselves.... Guess we should balance out and listen to both sides... Perhaps we could use another approach to our child that to avoid having teachers to scold at us, we should behave and listen to what teachers say...

Sorb

Actually, I learn from a KCS mum that the teachers of her girl's class is "bad", I don't know the details.........but so far, my girl is lucky, all her teachers are nice.......I think every school has "good and bad" teachers. Good luck to all!

Sorb

Share with you an experience....my girl's teachers are all nice except one of her interest class's teachers.  This interest class teacher is cool, strict and will scold the students if they are not following her instructions.........this is the teacher my girl likes the least.  Both my mum and my mum in-law told me to quit the class as the teacher is not good and scare my girl........but I may not quit, I told my mum, it is the reality, not everyone in the world is nice.  Our girl must need to accept this "dark side" of the world.  There is no need for us to be too protective.... but of course, if the teacher beats the children and scold my child unreasonably, I will quit immediately.  I am fine if the teacher is 惡 if for disciplinary need.  

For the PN that you are talking about, I think I can guess which one you are talking about.  But for that PN, more than 6 teachers are in the same classroom at one time (unless you are not talking about PN, but KG), if the teacher you are talking about is really bad, the other teachers will see it and this may have some 警惕 effect on that teacher......pls don't misunderstand I don't believe in you, I just want to advise you to ask the other teachers if your kid really have some misbehave in school first.  Some kids (including mine) will not admit they have done something wrong : )  

Hope your kid will be fine soon......but if she really has the nightmare for some time, you may consider changing the school lah.

小朋友不喜歡返學可以有好多原因, 你小朋友不喜歡返學是你小朋友自己講俾你聽是因老師話過佢.....還是你猜測的。若是真的應和學校反映以求改善。我都聽過好多出名學校有不好的老師,有時真要看你彩數。 ...

Good luck!!!  This is my experience only, having KCS (a resonabley good KG) as the back-up make me feel very relax when applying other more famous KGs......maybe as a result I was too relax, no preparation for those more famous KG's interview (actually 2 only), we failed, haha......but no regret..........as I trust the failure is all because we did not have the connection or religion mark.

sorb :
當然pn都重要既,不過太辛苦返工...嚇忙呀b就慘.
我報左kcs喇..等幾個月收通知

Sorb

I think a reasonably good "PN" as a backup give you a "safe feeling" when you apply KGs for your kid next year.....so, to me PN is also important unless you are pretty sure you can secure a place in a good KG.

BabyHilary

同意! 可能因為我打算比囡囡讀1年PN,
K1會考其他學校, 所以對PN程度要求唔太高,
但校舍環境同辦學質素, 老師態度就好重要。

如果真係讀衛理堂我應該都唔會比囡囡另外學英文,
因為for 2歲幾小朋友, 返PN已經係好好嘅training,
PN本身有eng lesson當然最好,
如果冇...但間學校質素其實係好好...
我唸上到K1先學英文都唔遲啩, 到時都係3歲幾啫﹗
