小朋友選小學，做家長的真是很辛苦

My son is very bad with interviews.  So far most of the schools that we applied have rejected him....not even one with 2nd interview.   It is very likely that he has to rely on his own luck...to go for the big lottery..

It is not a matter of which school we choose for him...it is a matter of which school is willing to take him!  This is sad but I don't blame him.  It is the terrible HK style education system that destroys many kids.

If the school is the sister school with connection of existing kinder, that is the reason of being accepted. Will u give up the connected primary of existing kinder.

These are wonderful sharing.  Finding the school that is suitable for our children I also believe is the first and foremost important criteria.  My son had applied 10 schools and he had no certificates of any kind.  It has been a very stressful process for the past few months I must admit but I also believe that the right school will come around for my son.  
My son is half Chinese and half Irish....we don't believe in drilling him with exam skills, entering all kinds of public exams and competitions.  The only thing I think he did really well in the past 3 years is to develop his language skills....which clearly have proven to be an advantage in all these interviews.   
My insights from all these interviews are:
1.  The preparation before the interview is to encourage our children to go in with confident and be polite.
2.  Language seems to be what most of the schools look for.  Bilingual is a must and trilingual would be advantageous.  
3.  Be truthful and honest when filling out the questionnaire for parents.
4.  Interview is not an exam, no need to tell our children weeks before but instead tell him on the day so he would have the thinking of going in to have a good time.  Whatever he needs to know should be in there already so the weeks of cramping in new knowledge doesn't work.
5.  Pressure from parents is the worst of all....tension transfer to our children without us knowing.

Dear parents, I believe we all know what's best for our children because they came from us, a big part of them is us.....don't sell our children short, they deserve to have our trust and know what would make them a life long learner and not just a nerd knowing only how to achieve in exam.

I hope my own personal insights can give you all a perspective only, it is not a lecture or any kind.

Good luck.....

我已經辭去版主一職有一段時間了！

我和太太將所有時間都用在家庭上，所以小朋友除了上學外、任何時間都有父母陪伴。

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your sharing.  Your posts are great and I did learn a lot and grasp some information here.  I am a very lazy working mother, don't want to bring my boy to learn this and that for the sake of some awards and certificates in order to "construct" a wonderful portfolio.  If he is interested in something and wants to learn something will be a separate issue.  I would rather to take him to do whatever we like during off days.  As for kindergarten application, I did a lot of research before, made an excel table showing all details and progress of the targeted schools.  At last he only went to one school for his 11-month-old interview and got the place.  Since the philosophy of the school suits us, I then accepted the offer for no bother these few years.

Speaking primary school application which I now start collecting information.  I believe the essence should be the kid's performance during the interview instead of a beautiful submitted profile.  If the kid is bright and smart, with decent and proper bring up, perform well during the interview,  it shouldn't be hard for him/her to get a place.  Just is like your daughter.  However, for some "average" kids, a good profile may be able to get him/her a chance to attend the interview though not the offer.

Education now in HK, is really a headache for parents. Especially for a newly mother like me.  Thanks to EK, a platform which I obtained much information, which also help me to make a choice to my boy.

Last but no the least, I found you're a gentlemen, from all your replies, even towards those with some personal attacks.

Thank you very much for your sharing!  I agree that EK has been the best thing that happened to many parents lie ourselves where parents can share the experience to help those who are in such need.

Good luck in the coming P1 application for your son!
