Sis 數理比 加 cdnis 強好多
If you target HK universities, local school and DSE is a much cheaper and sensible choice. If you target Singapore universities, definitely SIS.

jolalee  I agree. Why would anyone whose primary target is HK University goes to IS in the first place? Makes perfect sense to look into Cdn Uni for CDNIS students, probably got loads of relatives there ;)  發表於 14-4-28 23:43

HI compsognathus, it seems we have lost sight of you for a few years?!  Welcome back!  

I am glad to see you grow and having developed remarkable English proficiency.

I would be more than pleased if my children's English standard could reach your level when they are in P.6.

All I wish to say to you is  --- stay cool and enjoy school life.

All the best!

My parents and I all do not quite know the standards of modern traditional teaching methods, with local schools having changed since my parents were my age and the fact that I am an only child studying at an international school. However, love and positive learning attitudes are present at SIS. I do not know what teachers at CDNIS or local schools are like, but at SIS, all teachers are strict in discipline but some are stricter than the others. Such is the case with my Mandarin Chinese teacher, being one of the stricter types of teachers. Ask yourself. Does talking in class when not permitted, disrupting the lesson and therefore  the learning experience of everyone else, or packing up before the lesson ends, not warrant a scolding? I would like to ask; in what situations is talking among yourselves in class permitted in other international schools?



To address a worry faced by some parents, Singlish is not a problem at SIS.Singaporean students at SIS are mostly capable of speaking without their accent, and attempts at speaking Singlish by a native Singaporean student have failed badly, due to some pronunciation issues not present in Singlish. In fact, many students mock the Singaporean accent of some teachers in the Mathematics department. SIS does not stress on pronunciation of words, but it is safe to assume that most Singaporean students at SIS do not pick up an accent.



SIS is relatively relaxed on student expectations. Many SIS students have time for extracurricular/recreational activities after school or, if applicable,tuition, and some of them have a lot of fun learning at school. I have a friend who studies at an excellent local school. He is currently extremely stressed about getting enough marks in his examinations to be promoted to the secondary section of his school, while I am rather relaxed with a lot of time on my hands, and I even have time to get on BK.



I am not trying to persuade you into applying for SIS. When I joined this thread,I wanted to address the issue of stress in students. Which school you file an application for your children is not my business.

After reading your message, if i were given a choice to choose cdnis or sis, my preference definitely goes cdnis, aha.

If packing up late at the end of the day, talking in the classroom... as what you mentioned will result being scolded by teachers and that is considered "normal"... I will be so sad for my child.

I worked with many Singaporean and it seems to me educated Singaporean can "control" their accent.  They speak without much accent at work but when they go out for a drink or when they are relaxed, their Singaporean accent comes out.  Even so, it is not that big a deal for Singaporean having a bit of Singaporean accent.  For HK people to speak with Singaporean accent is a different thing.  Of course I have no idea what is it like in SIS.  If parents say there isn't a problem, others have no reasons to suspect otherwise.

That's why I said I would also choose CDNIS. If I want a traditional teaching method, tests and exams, Asian classmates, higher academic pressure in primary school years, and English and Mandarin, I could choose some good local schools teaching Chinese in Mandarin and English by NET. They are much cheaper than SIS, and I wouldn't be afraid of the Singlish problem (as at SIS many of the classmates would be Singaporeans who pick up Singlish from their parents).

jolalee  I agree with your first part, but as existing SIS parents has testified here, SIS kids do not have Singlish accents.  發表於 14-4-26 13:04

Just to clarify, I believe CDNIS teaches in simplified Chinese. I think it is SIS that teaches in tr ...

After much confusion and searching, i found out that CDNIS teaches BOTH simplified & traditional Chinese, depending on which stream is chosen:

http://sites.cdnis.edu.hk/school/chinese/files/2014/01/Differences-between-Language-A-B-Mandarin-Stream.pdf
Language A-- Reading and writing: traditional characters are taught. Simplified characters are introduced in the Upper School
Language B-- Reading and writing: simplified characters are taught. Traditional characters are introduced for practical recognition purposes

I think this is quite thoughtful. Kids with Chinese background can learn the more difficult but culture related traditional characters while keeping the expat kids happy with simplified characters which is much easier to learn. No wonder why CDNIS has a much higher non-Asian population compared with the other Chinese heavy IS, while still up holding the reputation of teaching Chinese well. (Again, every parent's requirement is different. for my family, as long as the kid can read the local newspaper by primary graduation i am happy. that's basically my own level anyway)

For some parents, it is important to expose the kids in an international community where Asian is not the dominant culture, otherwise it is somewhat losing the point of going to an International school. How CDNIS did it allows both cultures to coexist within the same school without losing out on families who want their children to learn some decent Chinese. After finding this out I am much happier with CDNIS.

So it means language is a conduit, or a tool to communicating with others speaking the same language and understanding the culture. Language is part of the culture in a broad sense, but a conduit/tool nevertheless.  Having said this, if a parent thinks language is more important than anything else in education including curriculum, teachers, teaching style, workload etc, he/she should be respected.

FattyDaddy  I think language is more than just a neutral and impartial conduit, it does affects how we describe the world and how we think. Anyway, no disrespect meant to anyone's choice.  發表於 14-4-25 20:47

Hehe, obviously it is meaningless ... to you.

My example was really just a dramatic way to say "it is very difficult to think like a Chinese without knowing much Chinese", if you disagree with that, it is fine by me {:1_1:}
