i mean 去完返黎 HK 後有冇保持 these good discipline ?

佢今年12月第一次返香港，因為一樣有姐姐所以都無咩機會俾佢發揮，知道佢做得黎已高興，回家後就當係放下假

my son did go to summer camps for weeks, HK, China and even Germany. He seemed very independent and disciplined in those camps, got very good comments from teachers/coaches and once he got "The Tidiest Room" award! but once back to HK 就打回原形

is he still like that at home in hk?

一D都唔似，在家因為有工人姐姐所以從未做過，而家去 host family ，返香港都要自己執行李，帶漏就無人幫到，所以亦會學識臨出門前點整晒各樣嘢 因為如果在家跟父母同工人一齊住，唔多唔少我地都會幫下手，到自己一個人時，人嘅基本本能就會發揮。

Looking back at my own experience, I quite enjoyed having no transitional help ...

Agreed. 我個仔過左去都2個月, 同佢傾, 發覺佢變左好多. 自己換床單被舖, 安排洗衫. 遇到困難會自己諗方法解決, 諗唔到就問老師. 零用錢亦會慳住用. 完全唔似在香港嘅小朋友

Looking back at my own experience, I quite enjoyed having no transitional help.  It actually makes the transition easier since kids will learn that there is nothing to fall back on and they will have to make things work themselves.  Imagine a weekend with not much homework or work to do.  Spending time with parents mean not spending time trying to make friends or playing a sport with friends.

I agree with you. Independence training is one of my reasons of sending my kid abroad. Therefore I just plan to stay there for few months for transition and adaptation, and I would still put him in boarding during those few months.
But I think maybe some parents send their kids to schools abroad only for the different academic environment, culture, etc and therefore day school would serve their purposes well ?

I always thought the point of studying abroad is to learn to be independent.  I don't see how having parents there is a beneficial thing.

Ic! my friend encountered the same problem. But since I only plan to go once in Aug and stay till Xmas, then I will let my son stay there and fly back and forth UK and HK alone, so I guess it's not the same? I remember you said you now stay there and your daughter is attending day school? So, you have quitted your job? and, how come you do the school interview so late in March? still 趕得切?
