西 島 中 學 學 生 徐  豐 （ 左 ） 在 IGCSE 國 際 數 學 考 獲 全 球 最 高 分 ， 更 破 格 跳 班 修 讀 IB 課 程 。 旁 為 西 島 中 學 校 長 霍 珍 。


　　英國劍橋大學國際考試委員會近日公布港生去年國際普通中學教育文憑（IGCSE）的全球排名，英基學校協會轄下三所中學共六名學生考獲全球最高分，涵蓋中文（外語）、商業及國際數學三個科目，其中在國際數學考獲全球最高分的西島中學資優生徐豐，更獲學校首次豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目，今年跳級至第十二班修讀國際文憑（IB）課程。

　　去年有約千名英基學生應考IGCSE，英基昨宣布，劍橋大學國際考試委員會公布港生去年IGCSE的全球排名中，英基轄下港島中學、英皇佐治五世學校及西島中學共六名學生，分別於中文（外語）、商業及國際數學考獲全球最高分；另有六名英基學生於附加數學、科學及世界文學等科目中考獲全港最高分。

　　年僅十六歲的西島中學學生徐豐，去年提早一年報考IGCSE的國際數學科，並考獲全球最高分，他曾參與香港資優教育學院就國際數學奧林匹克香港選拔賽進行的培訓，且屢次於英國的數學比賽獲獎，本應今年修讀第十一班的他，更獲學校破格豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目，跳級至第十二班修讀IB課程，成為該校首個獲准跳班至IB課程的學生。

　　西島中學校長霍珍坦言，花上半年才拍板准許徐豐跳班，形容當日的決定其實有點冒險，「從豐平日的功課，以及他的對答，可發現他的才能比同齡學生高很多，但仍須與任教老師商討跳班的決定，始終IB課程較IGCSE深入很多，亦須重新適應社交環境。」事隔逾半年，除英文科，豐其他科目的IB預測成績均達最高的第七級，霍珍笑言，證明當日的冒險決定十分值得。

　　笑言對數學不太熱衷的徐豐稱，自六、七歲起，在港大教授工程學的爸爸便在家與他操練數學，發掘了他的數學潛能，「每周末做數約三小時，期間爸爸會為我買額外的數學書，教我課堂外的知識。」他笑稱，每周末的操練已成為他的習慣，這種持續奮鬥正是他能在數學科考取佳績的關鍵。

　　徐豐尚餘一年才須決定升學去向，故現仍未作出決定，但希望如哥哥般升讀香港大學醫學院，或往美國升學，「爸爸從美國回流工作，故在美國仍有人脈；港大醫學院較側重國際視野，且課程甚具挑戰，對我亦算適合。

你好

1. 故事的男主角是人工打做的天才

請問AP是什麽考試？全明是什麽？同OL或AL有關嗎?

你好

1. 故事的男主角是人工打做的天才

2. 父母花的精神不少

3. 最近他考完AP

4.唉, 點止一星期三小時, 咪玩啦

5. 他的哥哥, IB 43分, 42+1

全部7分,TOK/EE 1分

6. 我見過佢爸爸幾次, 我地幾位都叫佢肥佬教授

7. 他爸爸就是怕個仔入不到醫學生, 因為沒有IGCSE, 所以捉個仔去考AP

把AP當作IGCSE, 因為以學校IB predicted grade, 去收生

醫學院隨時連面試機會都不會有

Yes, they are the one to apply some of the theories in Physics, Higher level of engineering is close to some aspect of Physics as they also require to know more theories besides the application side.

Yes. Hong Kong needs more 科學怪人！

. However, scientists should be respected. They use their time and talent to research and being a professor can only be their best reward.

The correct name for medicine is MBBS !我只是想提醒家長們考慮讀MBBS的得失！

"I do not want talented students in Hong Kong all pushed to study medicine only."
Yes! I totally agree with your statement. Just as talents in Physics go to the engineering for better job prospects.

I agree with you only to some extent.
The IGCSE tutor of my friend's children told me that he has met many who is really talent mathematics. They mind and brain are really not ordinary! However, they are sometimes indulged in their world of mathematics that make them ignore their surrounding. In fact mathematics theory are the frontier of science that even the field of Physics and engineering uses their finding and theories a few hundred years later.

Of course these mathematics talents do not like to be bounded in practicing medicine that requires them a lot of  memories, patience, and more commitment, besides observation and analysis and much rules and regulations to follows.

On the other hands, medical students have to pay a lot of time and effort in studying, intense pressure to meet the requirement and expectation of the lecturer. This can be a main cause for the drop out after first year.

ESF 's academic result is satisfactory because the schools are non-selective, It means that students are selected if they speak English. Many ESF students are academically and intelligently below average. Teachers are satisfactory with their progress. Academically strong students will depend on their parents to give  input.Students in ESF are happy in paradise not until they can not find top university.

我自己個女都係讀ＥＳＦ，其実我都５明点解Ｄ人成日都話ＥＳＦＤ成績５錯、我観察就覚得只是不過不失、全部ＧＵＭ多学生、出左１、２個出色Ｇｅ，就大吹大雷、無意思。

My personal experience is that the chance of mental breakdown and suicide is much higher than normal.
It may be related to the stress of the course or over expectation from parents. I do not want talented students in Hong Kong all pushed to study medicine only.
The need to study hard is too harsh for Hong Kong students!!

我認識兩男一女都係一開始 (from year one) 就讀ESF ,佢地考得好好,IB仲係45 分.

ANChan59

加多句，我觀察ESF及lS學生在lGCSE成績都不俗，為何lB會略遜色，不一定是孩子或學校質素。

如果已有美國大學 firm offer 在手，提早收爐啦，好難motivate去考好些，肯去考mock已經俾面學校了。

如果學生搏香港英國熱門學科，手上只有conditional offers, 點到你唔搏老命，42/45, 776，頂硬上。揸不同牌，成績會有好大出入！

ANChan59

我覺得以上討論問題徵結在何謂 non-selective，這是關鍵。Darth 的觀察亦十分接近事實，但又不應全盤否定ESF及lS的平常生態，Expat come and go 是正常過正常！

以前有家長又話 home grown, 買人如出一轍，忽略定義及漠視背後真相，好難討論。

填鴨????? 或许应该由认识有关孩子的成长教育的亲朋好友来具体评价!

如果单是一句填鴨, 就抹杀孩子的个人 ...

死啦！阿囝斎睇數，然後㩒埋本書，連數都唔願計，點算好。我都想間中填下鴨仔！會更好。
