有冇家長試過比仔女同時讀上下午校幼稚園

ngmyan

Actually I have prepared to let my gal to attend two schools too as she is very energetic and I consider that it is letting her to have more playmates.

Now we are applying for K1, what i am planning now is to find two schools, of which we like of close distant and move house to there.

Of coz, if she can get into the one in Kowloon Tong, I will let her join one school only while maybe during the week end to join the playgroup.

thanks for your opinion. My main reason is avoiding TV time too long at home and I love 2 kinders in different style. Of course, my kid loves playmates so so much and she seldom sleeps in the afternoo ...

simply plug off the TV should be the easiest way to achieve your first criteria;
thinking about full day kinder is an easier option;
of course, if u like both kinder, go ahead your big project. good luck!

As a parent, i will not teach my children any "model answers" to "FAQ". Although they are just 2 or 3 or 4, we should treat them as an "individual". Whatever he/she wants to answer is the best answer ...

We have been sending our son to full day school (one school, not 2) since K1 (now K2). Originally the main reason was to let him learn to eat on his own because he doesn't like eating, and feeding him ...

Exactly. Language Skills are bonus.

Hi oooray,

As a parent, i will not teach my children any "model answers" to "FAQ". Although they are just 2 or 3 or 4, we should treat them as an "individual". Whatever he/she wants to answer is the best answer.
Regarding Cheung 3 Lee 4 questions, I will be more than happy if my children answer "i learn nothing" there. So, Cheung 3 Lee 4 will be happy, i will be happy, everybody will be happy...win-win-win situation.
Relatives and friends may concern those FAQ : too tired, no time to sleep, so and so...As long as you believe it is worthy, nobody will challenge you further  (We should assume parents are always the no. one person caring their own children, right?).
Actually, my children knows they are/were attending 2 schools in the first few months in K1 (they did/do not know other children don't/didn't do the same). Whatever school A or school B he/she answered, i don't care. In their mind, they will compare which one they like more and will shift to that side.
It seems u have a great interest to try. Before doing that, pls. ask yourself:
1. your childre is physically able to handle 2 session (not worthy if always get sick due to insufficient rest/sleep);
2. As a parent, what for? If u think simply going to 2 schools can double his/her knowledge, don't do that, it doesn't work; if both school are in the same style, Children will only get bored.
3. What is your inention of doing that?
4. U will be extremely busy in handling 2 schools routine. Make sure u have spare "manpower" looking after your child in case there are any special events in School A or School B...

We have been sending our son to full day school (one school, not 2) since K1 (now K2). Originally the main reason was to let him learn to eat on his own because he doesn't like eating, and feeding him has always been our #1 headache.

It was tough for him at the beginning because he was not used to being away from home for so long, but he got used to it after about a month. The school gives them nap time so exhaustion is not an issue once he gets used to the sleeping pattern.

A side benefit we didn't expect was Mandarin that he can learn in his afternoon class. The school lets us choose a different class for the afternoon. We plan to send him to international school so in the morning he goes to an English only international class. Now at least he's learning Mandarin and Chinese characters too.

Hi oooray,

Thanks for your reply, however, what I mean is HOW my kids answer Cheung 3 Lee 4 which school they are attending (for me it's ok as my face skin is thick), some people are not considerate, always ask kids for acadamic result and so so. Just teach my kids to say school A? Then will kids say that at school B (think it's not polite)? Or I can tell them both schools love you, welcome you to go and play, but others may not have such chance, so better only tell them school A is ok.

One more question in my mind: HOW to explain to our kids attending 2 kindergartens? People would ask kids what school are you attending, how should they answer to avoid "surprise & angry" responses?

1. How to explain to kids :
just tell them the truth : in the morning u play in school A; in the afternoon u play in school B;
2. How to answer people questions:
U have already seen even in this or similar threads, on-lookers are how "surprise & angry" with this issue.
A. If u do mind people attitudes (i guess >90% "people" discourage this because of this and that.), don't do that; (Of course, if u think u give something and taking nothing from that, don't do that : simple logic);
B. For relatives, just tell them the truth, for Cheung Three and Lee Four, just tell them either; they have no time to 888 and dig dig dig...
I am always amazed that many parents have no doubt by rushing their kids to different classes after school but really skeptic on this topic.
On moneywise, i am paying just a few hundred (after deducting school voucher of course) per month (school uniform not included), 5 days a week, 3 hours to play and improve language and social skills.
On-lookers always say we are crazy for academic but I can tell all of them that most of us are not for such purpose. I can do such "crazy things" at home by myself by teaching P1/2/3 English/Maths....or even Alegbra & Calculus(I guess many parents are doing these, and are so proud of their children knowing something other children has not known) but i will never do that because it will only ruin my children's happy life.
Duck-feeding is not by cup of tea. Going to 2 kinder doesn't mean duck-feeding.
Parents who disagree my thought please criticize and object freely and objectively.
as i mentioned before, it is your right but please behave yourselves and mind your wording before parents yourselves are the model of your children.

我堂弟個case易搞d, 佢下午讀個間村校, 早幾年收生不足, 所以就招攬左同區既名幼稚園既上午班學生去讀下午班, 校工嬸嬸會幫手接校車, 仲安排埋午飯, 下午班唔使著校服, 可以當佢係一個日日返而有成3小時長既playgroup咁

而我堂弟, 本身係由工人接送, 兩間學校返學時間中間有成2小時, 足夠返屋企食飯, 抖一陣, 先返學

agree, some kids may love to play rather than sleeping. Any parents can share how to deal with the lunch if not enough time travel back home? I mean outside food is not healthy but if you bring lunch  ...

Of course u need a smooth planning (somehow a complicated project for a parent of 2 children), schooling time, schools locations...etc. Myself can arrange staying at home for 1 hour lunchtime/dressing-up time before catch the afternoon school bus(actually the school is in walkable distance but travelling by school bus makes our schedule more flexible).

I'm not advocating everybody goes this way. However, other than no afternoon nap, no time to eat lunch, higher chance to get sick....it still has a lot of advantages such as no time to watch TV (u can imagine children taking care by helper, grannies what are they doing in the rest of the day? watch TV/playing TV games, take an afternoon nap and then stay awaken all night long (watching TV with parents again?). Is it sort of healthy life?
School Life is not as tired as some parents thought. Other than toilet time, tea time, line-up time, most of the time are playing playing story telling and interactive with a group of children at the same age. (Except for those training writing skill and a stack of homework in the 1st term in K1).
Also, playing in school is much safer than playing in the outside/clubhouse playground. Have u ever heard some serious home accidents of children in the news? Have u ever seen helper busy in chatting phone while "looking after" children in outside playground?
Regarding academic issue, i don't think children attending both school will get smarter but their language skill can be improving coz they have double time to interacting with children / teacher.

not 100% true. many children do not need afternoon nap. staying at home just watch TV/VCD is waste of time and getting short-sighted.
