我個姪女係女拔讀中學, 每次去佢屋企, 我都見到佢做project或功課. 而每次出來食飯, 都成日見到佢拿著本書. 佢係很勤力, 但有點兒那個....

中學生同家人親戚食飯,埂係會拎住D野解悶,我見酒摟餐廳好多teenagers拎住電子遊戲機,咁 你都perfer佢拿著本書la.

各位,

不知有沒有團體有興趣調查一下以下的問題 :

當一個陌生人與一般就讀 K3 的小朋友接觸時, 能夠成功地令小朋友說出完整的家庭住址的比率為何 ?

另外, 相同的調查如作在曾經投考 dgjs 的K3 小朋友時, 比率會否不同 ?

各位,

身為人父母, 體會良多! 其中表表者, 是發覺孩子是 "洩露" 家庭秘密/事情 的重要途徑! 他們知甚麼就說甚麼, 即使在不適當的人前或環境中!

所謂害人之心不可有,防人之心不可無! 為了保護自己,為了保護家人, 你可會考慮把一些 敏感/私隱 的資料向孩子隱瞞或不說得太清楚嗎 ?

舉一些例子, 你的年齡, 你的收入, 你的地址, ...

哈哈! 在準備面試的時候, 你是否很落力的要孩子緊記住址並要求他有問必說呢 ?

我不是名人,(相信可能是祝福) 但如果我是,我會認真地考慮如何告訴孩子他爸媽的名字 !

I believe most of the K3 kids can, especially they are prepared for the interview.  The interviewer is not an "absolute" stranger as he/she is one approved by dad and mum that the kid needs to tell the address.

EDWIN

Tigerprawn,

Thanks for your response.

Fair enough !

Here are some followup points to consider :

a) With the full address information in the kid's mind, will it be easy for an "absoulte" stranger (not pre-approved by parents) to get the full address from the kid ?

b) Is it necessary for a K3 student to have the full address in their mind ?  Will PARTIAL address be enough ?  Afterall, why do kid need to remember their FULL address ?  For interview's sake ?

SC老師話有三十幾人舊年入到DGJS，有朋友係CCKG亦話有三十幾人入到DGJS。咁寶山有幾多呀？得100多少少學位喳。

Tigerprawn

a) may not as that stranger may have scared the kid.
b) simplified should do but of course it also depends on how simplified.  When the kid is nervous, the full will become simplified already.  The simplied will become not identifiable.

just my 2 cents.

Tigerprawn,

a) As you say, MAY NOT.  That is already more than enough.  I think it is quite easy for a stranger to get the full address as the kid has been well trained to tell it.

b) To satisfy interview's requirement, parents have already trained up their kid to remember the full address and answer it clearly.  (Do you think the principal will be satisfied with a full address or a partial address ? )  If the kid doesn't tell an identifiable address to a stranger, it will be good.  But I think the odd of it is not high.

For me, I require my kids to remember phone numbers of mine/my spouse/home.  But I don't require my kids to remember the full address clearly.  

Privacy is a hot issue now.  Home address is a sensitive piece of information.  Is it necessary to keep "Where do you live ?" as an interview question ?

Tigerprawn

Hi Edwin,

Put it this way, there is always some risks one needs to take.  I have told my kid not to disclose phone number to stranger unless he lost his way.

As I said whether partial or not will depend on how "partial".  No one will accept an answer as "Hong Kong Island" but "Taikoo Shing" may be fine.

"where do you live" being asked during interview is not really intended to know the address.  It's more to test the kid the ability to tell something about himself.   

BTW, at what age you'll let your kid knows about the address?

While I don't know the exact number of girls from SC, but the number for CCKG is correct.  But, please note that there are 42 girls only in CCKG (14 girls each in the three upper classes).

Does anyone know if the elder enrolled at DGS, will the younger sister has bigger chance to get a seat?  I'm just day dreaming of my elder one can get acceptance by DGS.

Thanks eemay.

Does anyone know how many girls from CCKG to DGJS exactly last year? Thanks.

EDWIN

Tigerprawn,

Thanks for your patient !

-->I have told my kid not to disclose phone number to stranger unless he lost his way.

I tell my kid to disclose phone number to stranger instead of address in similar situation too !  Address should not be mentioned even in this situation.

--> No one will accept an answer as "Hong Kong Island" but "Taikoo Shing" may be fine.

I totally agree with you on the latter part.  Here is the point : Assume two kids live in "Taikoo Shing". When being asked 'Where do you  live ?', one gives the full address and one gives a partial answer up to "Taikoo Shing".  If you were the principal, who will you give higher mark ? Why ?

--> "where do you live" being asked during interview is not really intended to know the address

Sure.  Then why don't ask some other question that can achieve similar result but have not the bad side effect of asking "where do you live" ?

--> at what age you'll let your kid knows about the address?

I think my kid may have already figured it out now.  When talking about "address", I always give my kid an impression that, if needed, telling partial address (e.g. follow the example quoted above : up to "Taikoo Shing") is enough.

Tigerprawn

Hi Edwin,

If I were the principal, I'll accept "Taikoo Shing".  I have done a lot of interviews with fresh u grad, I have never been doing interview with kindergarten kids.  I guess the address question is to see if the genuine address is put down on the form (may be, not sure).

EDWIN

Tigerprawn,

Thanks for your response.  During our interaction, you help me to express myself better.  

Fellow parents, may I do a survey here ?  Please share whether you  have trained your kid to tell the full address or partial address or ...

Thanks.

It's funny to see EDWIN and Tigerprawn drilled down one question on address to such fine level. IMHO, if for the purpose of interview, you may wish to develop his/her response/attitude rather than one particular question.

For example, the principal asked my son what kind of chess he played, but in our home we don't have Chinese chess, international chess, go, monopoly or any 'standard' chess. While the principal kept pressing, my son kept thinking of something to response, and was brave enough to describe one broad game about Ocean Park we have in our house.

The school then granted a place for my son.
