有冇收到kv o既 reject & waiting list信呀？

peipeibb

你以下的話是否說我在看低別人的孩子呢？還是我理解力低呢？

"不要老是認為自己的總比別人優勝, 因成長快慢很睇個人, 別的小朋友今日未做到, 並不代表佢以後都做不來. 如果家長存有這想法的要更正!"

我只是不明白為甚麼kv口中的被取錄生全是滿分，然而，我朋友的小孩卻不是做到100分，但還是被取錄。

Just relax~  我只是作一點提醒, 希望家長們留意!  不論是KV抑或其他學校, 無論結果如何. 作為家長都唔應該去"量化"小朋友表現, 如別的小朋友都無做唱歌/ 砌puzzle/ 講多謝......., 而我小朋友"有".  點解我的不被取錄, 而別人就被錄取!  然後走去追究學校何為收生標準???!!!     這是無意思的!  如果是這樣, 家長們只著重interview前特訓便可以了. :cry:

I noticed the interview in KV is more on the parent than the kids, pls try to ask yourself did you perform well during the interview too, i.e. remember his growth time table & favourite ? sing song is just to test did you play with your kid. Do you remember the teacher (both in KV & SC) looked at your kid's hand ? I guess she checked whether had nail cut or not ? Don't blam the school & your kids.
SC seems is more on the kids as she just asked me 2 questions but my BB had to do the matching, colour, picture, puzzle...

I think there's no standard at all...
Accept or not, just PURE LUCK!!!!!

Frankly speaking, I have decided to give up my daughter's seat at Kentville. Judging from the discussion here, I can have a picture of what kind of parents would send their kids to this school, and I really don't want my kid to grow up in such a competitive environment based on "brand names". I can imagine that parents at KV will be rushing around for primary schools at K3 and competing with each other for seats.

I just want my kid to build my her confidence and learn happily during her kindergarten years.

The good news is there is one space spare (out of the 600+ seats) for those on waitlist.

我的小朋友都有幸被取錄,其實家長去得in,已經代表某程度上認同了他們interview方法及安排,所謂公平與否,不能建基於學校是否取錄你的小朋友,但都好,可見你是著緊個結果,最奇怪有些家長,明明好開心自己小朋友被取錄,但又數其不是,說盡反話

Actually, I need to say thanks to KV & SC. Why? It is because they let me know the reality of how difficult to get into a so called '名校". My relatives' son or daughter studied in KV or SC few years ago, the competition was not so keen. Originally, I just applied these two kinders. After the interview, I started to apply for few more for apare,it's lucky that now my daughter has been accepted in few of them and KV is on waiting list. But I want to say that not only KV has their 'selection standard', my daughter was accepted by 啓思pm cos she is a small girl (I was told by the staff)

lovingparent,
Yes, it's competitive. Very competitive out there, at school, in the society, this world. Face it at an early age and get adapted to it may be good... or may be bad. Who knows? Some people enjoy competitive environment. We, as parents, can only guide them to think positively but not to avoid the children from facing or getting involved in this competitive world.
Famous schools provide good training to their students which paved their way to higher education. Their teaching methods are proved to be successful.  
Talking about KV, yes, some parents are aggressive and even revised with their children for assessments and tests. There are even past papers! Oh God. But some parents are quite relaxing. KV students may think the tests are just games to them. Good grades got stickers and small presents from teachers. Well, they have to face this sooner or later. Unless, you do not want to enroll your child to the traditional famous schools.
I prefer KV not only of its good teaching methods, but also its nice campus. How many kindergartens have such a nice and big outdoor playground for students to exercise and to breathe fresh air? How many kindergartens have flowers and grasses and trees around? How many kindergartens have fish pond, turtle pond?

Agree

I agree with Felicia.  If kids are given with proper guidance by experienced teachers, age-appropriate tasks should be seen as a means of helping to stimulate the kids' mind development.  I always think that if you give pressure in the right way, it should act positively towards achieving the goal.  So let's not too worry about KV's strict (or tough) teaching methods.  The school has existed for so many years, there must be a great deal of merits about it.

Hi, I also have gut feeling that they would not take my son when I answered the Qs about toilet training. Eventually they did not accept my son. My son borned in Dec 04 and has G6PD, and I answered honestly that he refused to co-operate for a potty training. I keep on asking myself that should parent tell a lies when I leave the school after interviewed???

Anyway, I'm also not optimistic in SC's application cuz my son crawl out after interview. I think he can feel the pressure that's why he did something adnormal to express his feeling.  

Gooddaddy

qchoir> When the interviewer asked me whether my daughter could pull up her pants after going to toilet, I said "she just manged to do so a couple of days ago", which was a lie.  I didn't feel guilty afterwards because I knew my daughter would know how to do such thing by next Sept 2007.  Other than that,  I answered the questions very quickly (without hesitation) and honestly, and of course I myself was very satisfied with my daughter's performance.  So, I was'nt that suprised when KV took my daughter in.

上次面試，老師問佢自己可唔可以去洗手間，我立即 （咁細個可以自去咩？），我講真話：佢識講要去洗手間，但唔識清潔同著到條褲"咩"晒，我覺得未識自己去洗手間．

fooky,

你囝住屯門,
我們也是住屯門.
你們打算如何上學?
BY KCR / SCHOOL BUS?

KV老師又冇問我toilet training問題。It really depends on the interviewer, different interviewer has different questions.

佢哋都有問我呀, 我答話正在嘗試中, 個miss仲幫我補充, 話'仲要幫吓, 係嘛?'  我就答是囉!  (事實上阿仔真是時得時唔得), 其實現階段對一個2-yr的小朋友來講, 自己識唔識去, 我覺得對學校不是很大concern, 到出年9月, 小朋友都成3-yr啦, 大部份都應該冇問題掛?  我諗

老實講我好唔認同咁o既諗法，講大話就係講大話，甚麼到時巳會的想法只屬自欺欺人。還要沾沾自喜的寫出來！我唔知道你囡囡知不知道呢件事，如果她明白的話這事會給她成為一個乜o野o既榜樣？

為求達到目的，可以講大話o羅！

我唔知呢條問題會對取錄有甚

Yes, I think so!
That's why I planning move.

但有很多市區坐校車返學的小朋友也要坐1小時+
才可到學校!
