St Paul's College Primary School - 英文小學??

hogwarts

Dear Concern_Mom,

Everyone does have different "concerns", and a school can be measured by many standards.  A school does not necessary mean a system to  produce only students with good academic results.  There are many other things that we, as parents, would treasure.

1.  The school's liberal tradition - when the society is heated with the discussion of patrotic study, I can ask my son to study the choices of his two  學長 - 程翔 and 曾德成, or why the school has a Wong Shiu Pun Trophy.
2.  When winning and squeezing the fellow peer for own success is a "norm", my son finds brotherhood from the school.
3.  Yes, there is a HK$3,000 monthly fee, but I do save some 補習費.
4.  Funny enough, not being the best school, learning and facing groundless discrimination in a young age, is a blessing.
5.  The school allows a good space, both for academic and character building, for the kids both for fast and slow runners.   
6.  Is DSS better than SS a "MUST"?
7.  The discussion sometimes must go back to the HK education system.  If we have adopted School Voucher system, there should be less of this kind of debate or concern.

Should you have concerns, you could discuss with the school because this might truly help your son.

我都好同意各家長的貴意見。不過我此終覺得聖保羅係一間咁出名既名校，又話平均每8個小朋友先收一個，咁應該所收既學生質數都有番咁上下啦! 所以話「漸進式」對這班小朋友似乎有點講唔通喎！是否師資方面有些問題？點解要 ...

Hi concern_mom
By the way, are you a mom concerning your son in St Paul, or are you a mom concerning whether your son can enter St Paul?? It's really wierd that a P1 parent seems to know nothing about the school philosophy & teaching approach before making a decision, and then making such a fuss afterwards... This just looks illogical to me.

It's interesting to find out how similar the 'concerns' are between these 2 persons.

Come on, 新加入國民, please be relaxed and good luck to your interview!!

聖保羅除了有155年歷史、傳統學校，請問有也具體優點? 例如學術成績出眾呀? 定係運動了得呢? 睇完你D回應，都仲係一頭霧水！咁不如去讀津貼，聽講連D課本一樣喎~! 讀津貼起碼可以慳番$3000去補習啦!

#1 請告知聖保羅男小究竟好在那裡? 聖保羅男小究竟賣點在那裡? 有否就讀此校的家長告知,hkd3000學費..小孩得到什麼? 又貴,又谷,又是傳統敎學...會否6年小學生活後,變得呆板的書獃子@_@ 那麼何不享用6年敎學相同的免費政府學校?又要比錢,孩子又辛苦...就是為了學校的名氣..... 如有誤解,請告知.
