英國 Year 10

Taimum

小兒明年9月會到英國讀Year 10，已有學校Worth School 落實，但要我明年1月７日交１個學期deposit，但我又多心多找一間West Buckland School，兩校成績差不多，但WBS就每個學期平2000鎊，還有WBS仍未確認接受伸請，即仍未考試，真不知如何是好！

昨日同阿仔去交留位費 West Buckland School   

Taimum

已跟Worth School agent說唔讀啦！West Buckland school 1/2 dead line!

Taimum

阿仔越來越鍾意West Buckland School，又經agent認識左一個讀左半年嘅year 9女仔，有什麼想知、唔明都可以Facebook或WhatsApp問佢，希望無選擇錯啦！

依家阿仔鍾意West Buckland School多啲,Worth School 下星期一dead line要比8500鎊deposit, West Buckland  ...

既然亞仔鈡意west buckland嚟間學校，你便順他意願，反正是他讀書，最緊要他喜歡才専心向學。

依家阿仔鍾意West Buckland School多啲,Worth School 下星期一dead line要比8500鎊deposit, West Buckland School 月底才dead line,要唔要叫Worth嘅agent再delay呢?如果最後又唔揀人,好似好衰兼麻煩人咁!

Taimum

都係好主意，最希望都係無悔！

我就俾呀女自己揀，我俾D意見佢，而家佢有時話自己學校乜，我都會講你自己揀，怨乜'

今日另一agent回覆West Buckland都收亞仔讀year 10,此校也曾喜歡，Worth School or West Buckland School? 煩惱中！！

Taimum

選科正在考慮中,有無意見呀?

Taimum

Well, if the student is not doing good in a particular subject, like foreign language, he may drop this subject in Year 10.   No need to repeat.  If he has problem in English and Maths, then he will probably be placed in a "lower set" for intensive care.
There is a age reference in UK.  It's not easy to repeat, especially in grammar school!

I've never heard about this.  My understanding is private independent school (PIS) has homework group, learning support to help the students.   My son is only Year 8 and I did not feel there is much pressure on the examination.  UK people care about kids feeling very much.  They are very encouraging and I doubt if they will repeat a student which is very discouraging!

Dear Taimun,
                         Agent will only states the bright side of the story, so I just want to have any experience sharing for this cases, I think for thirtheen or fourteen years old kids, they may have difficults in new studying and english speaking environment, so would anybody shared their experience, Repeat one year causes not only money, time and confidence for kids who are in thousands miles abroad.

I wish to know that will the schools ( especially independent school ) request their student to repeat when
they think that students failed in examination. Is it commonly happened.

One more thing tell you that there's not many students from mainland China, only 7 to 8. For mid term, your guardian will pick him up from the school & it's not easy to leave by himself. Every time the housemaster needs your approval for many things & this school is very strict & my son always told me that all his friends from two other schools is more free than his school. Also, the longer school & homework time than other schools as well, so he got less freedom to play but study & they got also activities times for them relax eg every Wed afternoon time is off for activities. This school is also famous in music & art! Also during weekend, they need to register to housemaster 4 times so my son said it is very difficult to escape to London. If he really wants to go out to London, he must get approval from parents!
