Hi, 你的憂慮同我一樣,
我的兒子成績也不好,
我簡直不敢送他去UK,
只考慮去NZ, 希望最少讀不成也
不要學壞!

(1) unable to answer because everybody is not the same.(2) no problem.  Just a matter of money.  The school will arrange one to one or one to two lessons during school time.  Probably during lunch time or something they call "tutor period".    The school will arrange ABRSM and Trinity exams as well.  Normally there is a piano in the common area of the boarding house,
(3) swimming.  Not all school has swimming pool.  Normally the water is warmer than in HK.  If there is a swimming pool in the school, they will have swimming lesson during PE.  Here, there are PE (indoor ball games like squash, badminton, basketball, swimming) and games (cricket, rugby and football) every week.  Different terms do different things.  Upper forms will have less PE and games lessons.
(4) go out shopping.  Normally the school will set some safety rules for boarders, e.g. 2-3 boarders in one group to go out on weekends.  Never alone.   
The weekend activities are normally church choir service, sports games.  Cadat force majority locals.  Some school will arrange movie, bowling, but not often.  Some schools even have flying experience.  
(5) bully.  In my son's school, very few chinese.   I saw a chinese ignored a local.  The local students like Chinese very much.  It depends on the school location and the background of the students.  
I think in London, prestige schools, may be some bully cases.   It would be better in small town.

) 成績一定能追得上嗎和2) 仍能保持學琴嗎?有唐人地方就有補習社,上補習社温習和學琴 . 英國的學校有冇泳池？不清楚,公共就有的.星期六, 日寄宿學校會點安排架,如負責人可寫校長,假日帶小朋友去市鎮買東西.知寄宿是要孩子學習與其他學生相處, 但最怕是有 "校園欺凌事件"寄宿多外地人,本地人回家,寄宿外地人多分開,是不會2個中國人一間房的.

很高興看到這些分享，EK其他家長的分享，大多數是描述品學兼優、才華橫溢的孩子，好像跟自己的孩子沾不上邊。您的分享可振奮人心，謝謝！

I had shared a case before in the forum and would like to share again.

My son's primary school classmate was allocated to a Band Three local secondary school soon aftrer he completed his primary education. His result was relatively poor. He had only 4D and 2E in his HKCEE. He could not continue his study in Hong Kong. So his parents arranged a UK boarding school to him. Needless to say, the boarding school is not famous and has the ranking below 300.

There are a few foreign boarders in that school. It had no students from Hong Kong save him. There was nothing he could do except that he had ample time to do his revision. The UK AL syllabuses are less demanding. He took the GCSE AS examination in the following year. Although his result in Hong Kong was not impressive, he managed to secure 90 or above in 4 AS subjects.

He applied for colleges in upper Six. Because his school is one which is below the national average, this school is one of the target schools of Oxbridge for wider participation scheme. Each year, Oxbridge would admit certain percentage of students through wider participation scheme (please forgive me if the terminology is not correctly described). So the offer was generally less demanding than the students from the other schools. It was to ensure that some less privileged students could study in Oxbridge. The school principals were asked to nominated students to apply for admission. Because of his good AS results, the school recommended him to apply to Cambridge.

He was invited to attend an interview with Cambridge. He had successfully explained to the admission officer why there was a great change in his learning result - he was a late development student and the UK learning environment provide him an excellent opportunity to learn. He was given an offer to study natural science with the condition of 3A in his AL examination. Because of his high mark in AS, it was quite easy for him to satisfy the requirement. He studied in Cambridge in the next 3 years. He graduated with a First.

其實有D 野我都係唔係好明白, 希望大家唔好嫌棄, 講解下:

1) 成績一定能追得上嗎？
係咪有學校收左小孩之後, 佢過到去讀就一定讀得上的呢? 你知啦, 在香港, 我地乜科都要補習, 咁而家去到外國寄宿, 睇怕都冇人會幫佢補習的了, 甘靠佢自己讀, 係唔係就一定得呢?　如果真係讀唔上係唔係都照留班架？ 但係又真係好似好少聽講有人會留班咁。

2) 仍能保持學琴嗎?
在香港的小孩通常都有學琴, 小提琴之類的樂器, 那去寄宿後是否都放下的了?

3) 英國的學校有冇泳池？有冇游水堂架？
係咪佢地天氣凍, 好似唔係好流行游水堂咁既?

4) 星期六, 日寄宿學校會點安排架?　佢地有冇得自己出街？　去下超市買野？還是要全部留校？

5) 我都知寄宿是要孩子學習與其他學生相處, 但最怕是有 "校園欺凌事件", 請問你地有冇聽講此類?

If there is a chance and we can afford it, why not? Let them experience something different. It did me no harm after all. Just that I am not so Chinese now that I lived abroad for too long.

𣎴單只通識，而整個教育系統都有問題。為什麼現時嘅學生要補習，這個已是很大問題喇，就係老師教嘅不足，所以學生才去補習，而使到補習社生意滔滔，才會有補習天王天后嘅出現，浄係補習費都唔少啦，既然係噤樣，家長奌解要送仔女出國讀書啫，最起碼D仔女學會獨立，外國嘅教育有保證先啦，香港嘅教育已倒退而令家長失去信心，只不過是經濟問題，如果可以負擔，十個家長有十一個都話要送D仔女出國讀書。

梁媽媽

唔駛講其他, 單係一科通識就已經...玩死人。

我真係覺得, 在目前的教育..佢讀落去...真係冇乜前景, 唔係人人的子女都做到狀元, 好似我呢d.... 中下游人 ...

十分認同,我也為孩子努力緊，搵緊學校。各位媽媽加油，有結果，請分享。

some of my friends always persuade me to plan my kids go abroad to study Y9, saying the chance of getting good IB results and getting into good university or even return back HK to study some professional subjects (like Medicine) easier. Is it true?

CarrieTse

以上各位都是说得到位的。
放洋的决定是：
（1）孩子的意愿，能力，成熟度。
（2）家长的经济能力，希望把金钱放在学习还是投资在股票，房地产。
不是每一个人都是lawyer, doctor, acccountant的材料，同时，不是只有他们才成功。有时候，我也会想问个高人，看看孩子的外来！

我都覺得無所適從,就好似盲頭烏蠅四處亂駡,什麽DSE都好似沒有準則。為有硬著頭皮及不捨得送去出外讀書。

梁媽媽

我真係覺得, 在目前的教育..佢讀落去...真係冇乜前景, 唔係人人的子女都做到狀元, 好似我呢d.... 中下游人士..... 日日/周周/月月 都併盡全力...得出黎的成果都係出身汗。  咁都算, 再加上 [通識] 呢科..冇得讀,冇得估...真係唔死都幾難。
我唔想花時間留班,亦唔想求其讀個副學士, 再左讀右讀先買到個大學學位,
所以近日我都在考慮出國事宜, 因為留港真係無望, 何不趁年青人仲有團火, 夠膽出去時, 博一博呢?　大家意見如何？

的確,每一個的決定都未必一定如願與嘗,如果小朋友對香港的學習模式很適應,我想也不一定要出去,加上孩子的意願,也是很重要的,我們和兒子分析過去和留的利弊,也帶他去看看,讓他釋除疑慮,我們只是供給他多一個選擇,最後決定是在他的手裡,我在圖書館借了一些留學的書給他和自己看,內中都有很多不同的分享(成功的例子較多)當然我們是基督徒,所以也為此事禱告並交託給神,所以我們都很平安!最近看了一本書,是八仙嶺生還者張潤衡的留學經歷(失敗),都令我反省"成功不是理所當然",只不過不是很多人願意分享,當然今天算是成功,他已是中文大學畢業的碩士生及十大傑出青年.書名是"勇氣讓我起飛",值得一看.

dizidizi

我跟你的心情一樣忐忑不安，又唔知道這個決定是否正確，身為父母有能力付出就給孩子多一個選擇。我現尚未替小兒找到學校，真頭痛。
