Can any parents share after the 2nd interview?  

彥彥媽咪

Dear all

My son attended the 2nd interview on Tue (23/11)

It didn't take us too long to complete the whole process.

Our interview time is 1:15pm, we waited at the student common room till around 1:45pm, then it's our turn.

A teacher came out from the interview room to lead us in, then my hubby and I sat with our boy (he's in the middle), there were altogether 3 interviewers (but only the one in the middle - she is the headteacher, I guess will ask us questions)

The chief interviewer asked me and my hubby each one question and she set a timer to ask us ga (1 min max).  She asked us in cantonese.

Then we have to leave the room and let our son be there alone.

We waited at the student common room for a while (less than 10 mins I think), then my son came out la...

I asked my son afterwards what did the teacher asked him, he said they gave him a picture and asked him what was it and let him describe.

Then we left the school at 2pm.

Hope this info may help.

Good luck to you all.

Dear 彥彥媽咪,
Many thanks for your sharing.  It really can relieve many parents' nervousness about the 2nd interview.
I very much hope that your son will get admitted to DBSPD as you're such a kind person.

Good luck to you too!!

I think it is unfair to disclose the questions.

knowing the question beforehand is like cheating in the interview.

It will be very unfair for those who had the interview in the 1st and 2nd days because they could not prepare for the answers.

For the mom who disclose the interview questions here, you are actually doing a disadvantage to your son.

Dear del_eric,

I believe this forum has been constructed for sharing. If someone who does not want to share, he/she has the absolute right to keep his/her mouth shut. And it is a bit too much to blame the others who share.

Moreover, why don't you use your own identity instead of creating a new one to express your views here? Don't just take from this forum, please contribute as well.

Please bear in mind that 彥彥媽咪 just told us the format/proceeding of the interview. In fact, she did not know and did not tell the details of the question that her son has been asked.

BTW, does the headteacher of DBSPD ask the parent not to mention the interview? I do not believe so. So, where's the point of cheating?


Dear 彥彥媽咪,

I believe all the parents of this thread will support you. We really want to express our heartiest thanks to you for your generous sharing here.

del_eric

Yes I can share my experience
but not at this time, only after the interview is over
to be fair to all applicants

Totally agree with "Gordon_No_4", may I ask what is the purpose for del_eric in viewing this topic/forum??  Mainly because you just want to get some benefits / tips from this forum, but it's really selfish by just taking benefit from others and hestitate to contribute.  The norm of this society is cool and selfish, only parents can be the model of their kids, and it's sad that even parents set up a bad model in front of their kids......... Success of interview relies on the ability and luck of the kids, but I wonder the achievement of the kid in future if he/she is brought up under a selfish environment.

I want my kid go to this school and I think it is the same wish of all the parents viewing this threads and the one who asked the "experience" of others who have attended the interview.

But the interview is not over yet. That is the reasons why some are so anxious about the "experience" of the others.

to answer the questions:"Based on the "principle" of yourself, you will surely teach your kid not to conduct revision or discuss with his/her classmates before testing or exams. Your kid has to be conducted the revision by himself/herself or through your own guidance"

I will not teach my kid to discuss with his classmate during the examination, just like this interview which is still not finished yet.

My kid already had the interview in the 1st days. I can dislcose all the questions asked during the interview to you after it is over; to be fair to the 200 odds parents and kids who had attended the interview in the first 2 days

k-gie

It's not the matter of selfish but just to be fair.
I will teach my kid to discuss with classmates before and after the examination. But not to discuss the question/answer when the exam still in progress.

彥彥媽咪

哈哈.....

First of all, (1) thanks for all parents who support me to share here

(2) It's really interesting to find that there are a lot of parents who are so anxious about their kids and thus respond in a different way.  Competition makes people to be serious - I can absolutely understand that.    

(3) Different people got different values and that's why there are always conflicts here not only in this forum but every part of the world too.

(4) As a result, I deleted the questions that the teacher asked us here - not becos I think I am wrong, but if such action can make most of the people feel "comfortable", then why not I just do it with a delete button?

(5)  In fact, I do think that many intelligent parents here like you all should be able to "imagine" what kind of questions that the teacher will ask, and I think our questions are just some very very common questions, just like job interviews, many employers will ask you the same questions, there's nothing we can "control" others here.

(6) 成事在人, 謀事在天 ==> that's my motto.

Again, nice to have a chance to discuss with you here.

Hi,

My son is now studying in DBSPD. First of all, congratulation to all the little ones who get the chance of 2nd interview. That's very exciting news.

I remembered in last years, I have the same feeling with you all. I look at this forum everyday to see if there is anyone will talk about interview because mine is almost the last day. So, I will understand all of you. Anyone here has the right to tell or hide up the interview content. For me, I will think in this way, if some one can tell, that's very good and she is very generous, but if some one do not want to tell, take it easy ! It's her right to do that.

I think, for every interview, every one has the same chance and the reason the one get acceptance, who knows ? Just the interviewer. So, if you asked me why I get the seat, I will say "I don't know". I am not willing to say but I really do not know the main reason. I think all family has different combination, and some combination can make things happen but some do not. There is no formula. If every one have the standard answer can win, there is no necessary of interview.

So, please just be claim and take it easy, but of course it's not easy to "Take it easy" but we have to !

Lastly, good luck to everything !

Hi 彥彥momi

Oh, we did had the same procedure yesterday.  But we had the pleasure to be interviewed by high school principal.  Guess my boy won't have chance, since he was out so quick, around few minutes we left.  But we still proud for him, since we told him he might not be able to be a student here, as momi and daddy performed not so good.  He said "唔係呀, 您地講得好好, 計我分, 唔計您地嘅, 唔緊要啦!"
Wa, a very very naughty boy can comfort us like that, "兩公婆即時warm晒成", successful or not seems not that important lu!

I support del_eric.

My kid also went to this interview and I want him to go to this school.

Hong Kong has freedom of speech. It is the freedom of the mom to disclose the questions being asked during the interview and also the her freedom to withdraw the questions.

It is also the freedom of the del_eric to express his point that "disclosing the question may not be benefit to your kid and is not fair to other applicant who finished the interview." which to me and to my son is a very fair statement who finished the interview in the first day.

I think over 90% of parents who view this thread have their son lucky enough to get into the 2nd interview and some are still waiting so they are anxious to get other "experience". This thread has a hit rate >1000 now.

del_eric is under attack by so many is because his statement will remind other parents to think twice before disclosing the questions till the interview is over.

This is not a matter of selfishness but to be fair to all applicants.

But as I say, Hong Kong is a place with freedom of speech.

For those who are so eager to know other "experience", let me share my experience to you all (but I do not how true it is)

Well, the interview last more than a hour. The examiner asked my son how big is your house, how many maid do you have, does your mom has to work and how many toilets are there in your house etc etc...... Ha Ha

fully support to del_eric

I think I will be the next target for the parents who is so eager to know other "experience".

I am just pass-by, in fact it is not related to me at all since my daughter can't apply DBSPD. But I totally agree with civic's view. I think sharing is not cheating and I think the principal of any school interview has expected the questions will be shared and that is why the interview questions have been so widely discussed and there is no standard answer or sure win strategy, if there is, you should have become a very rich and sucessful business man to run a interview classroom In fact the so-called information can be very easily to get from book store and any outside interview class. The sharing of this information only hurt the interview class income, not the chance or unfair to the interviewed student since I truly believe the head of these famous schools has enough intelligent to find the right students through interview, otherwise they should not be famous and worth to getting a seat. It is all based on your child's internal talent, family's daily education, parents' regular method etc. accumulated to the result. The result will not change upon the interview time or question or the interview person. The parents' confidence on their own child may reflect somewhat the final result.

我仔仔是第一日, 即11月21日上午九時半, 已獲學校接見, 之前幾日, 我與先生都十分緊張, 好想四處打探面試形式同內容, 奈何我係第一批考生, 都無得問人, 唯有盡量去估計, 好彩得一 BK媽咪, ichun, 提點, 都知係要面對三個"考官", 唯有講定仔仔知道, 一入房會見到三位校長/老師, 佢地會同你傾計, 但考官問mud, 就真係無得諗, 因為範圍實在好大好闊, 任佢地點諗點問都得.

係呢, 有無人知考官問家長既題目係會唔會計分架?
仲有, 結果將於X'mas前公佈, 但整個面試過程幾時會結束?
