六年有感

Bluestar

有些學校是由老師決定所有職位

This is very true.  So teachers' pets will always be preferred, kids only learn about favouritism, and those kids (sometimes parents) who do not brush up the teachers and the so-so performers are never given a chance.

In TSL, of course the teachers will call on the academically brilliant kids to perform some "school" duties as everywhere else (which is understandable), but the other kids are also given a chance to develop and the problem is minimized.

Bluestar,

There  is already far too much favoritism in the society of HK these days.
We should not let it breed any more.

Instead, we should educate our children the more democratic ways of doing things and hope it will bear fruit at their time of life.

P.S. : 2 more days to go!!!

Principal,

Today is the last day for the school exam. Cheers!

B*and I still have two more days to go.  We need to work hard for TSA.

principal

TINGMUM,

Yes, we become "free birds" now!!!  

Is TSA's result of P.3 also used for determining the banding of pupils of a school??

Principal,

Yes, your are right.  The result of TSA is used for determining the banding of pupils of a school.

In order to get a good result in TSA, my daughter worked very hard last night.  She wants to complete her "mission" successfully for school.:loveliness:

Bluestar

Tingmum,

I also asked my kid to work hard for these 2 days, for the honour of the school.
What a very impt mission !!

principal

TINGMUM & Bluestar,

First of all, please tell your daughter and son that they are really good “Camoesians”as other TSL schoolmates will be benefited from their good work!!!  

Secondly, the name of this mission is called
“Misson Possible”.
Everything is possible if our children can have adequate faith in themselves when doing things.
Let's encourage our children to do better so as to bring TSL to another step forward.

各位好﹐
        真巧﹐今天工人問我有沒有打算跟女兒轉校﹐原因是她從其他鄰里那聽說此校不如從前﹐說真的﹐ 我本人自把女兒送入此校後就沒有懷疑過當初的選擇﹐不過﹐既然有其他聲音﹐作為負責的家長﹐即使不能經常到學校去“實地監察”﹐有時間也要從其他渠道接收一下消息﹐所以也就趁今晚﹐第一晚我跟女兒都可以放下
功課﹐考試﹐TSA﹐趴在BK網頁前一口氣讀完了TSL下面的幾個主題﹐結果我告訴我工人﹐放心﹐我看到的都是有贊無彈。
        沒看OLDOLDMUM的話題之前﹐本沒打算落筆發言﹐一看“六年有感”﹐我幾乎鼻子都酸了﹐不知不覺我也成為TSL家長三年了! 四年前﹐我每晚都在BK看討論﹐為女兒選學校﹐考學校,做家長的“功課”﹐參觀學校﹐面試。。。04年11月15日﹐
當我還躺在醫院(剛生完二女兒)﹐家人為怕我有產後抑鬱﹐幾乎不敢告訴我沒被第一輪面試取錄而只落waiting list。。。一周後的下午四點開始我就望著家裡電話機﹐等待學校取錄通知。。。開學前在學校有蓋playgroung 的迎新日。。。一切一切都還歷歷在目。
        這幾年﹐女兒是很順利地從幼稚園生活過渡到小學生活﹐她每天都很主動起床﹐背著書包出門上學﹐放學回來電話告訴我的也是開心事情﹐她比較文靜﹐在其他活潑同學的帶動下﹐越發變得有活力﹔學業方面﹐英文進步了(今年劍橋英文Mover考試在無任何外來訓練之下考了15個盾) ﹐普通話學會了﹐游泳也會了﹐法文也能講幾句了。。。呵呵呵﹐今晚﹐我真的好想好想多謝另一位舊鄰里﹐是她介紹我讓女兒考入譚歐陽﹐目標將來考入陳守仁。 此刻﹐我在想﹐再過兩年﹐或許我會懊惱﹐為什麼當初不嘗試一條攏的學校? 不過﹐明天的事情明天再想吧﹐至少﹐我們贏了孩子6年愉快健康的小學生活  +  一攬子優質教育﹐哈哈哈!

        Bluestar 你好! 今天在此碰見你了﹐這幾年我都幾乎絕跡BK﹐我還記得你呀﹐我們考TSL前一起討論過的。相信你也有和我一樣的體會。三年後約你一起上來又開個“六年有感”好嗎?

我女兒08入讀這校小一,關于這校,好同唔好的聲音我也聽過.但各父母應花點間,自己去分析.這是我們一家人最心儀的小學.有朋友的女兒在這讀書,我眼見一個二年級學生,態度親切,充滿自信,很陽光的小孩子.說得一口流利英語,如你們所說,法文也說得幾句.由學校open day,我女兒去年兩次到學校interview,有很多同學在塲幫手,我係親身感受到.這班小朋友,真的了不起,小小年紀,一個帶着我們十幾個大人,参觀學校,我用英文发問,小朋友對答自如,大人也未必做得咁好.這些經驗,令我很impress.但講到底,好睇各父母想要求甚么.我女兒自K1讀英普班,陳守仁英普教學,正是我們想要的,又不想女兒入國際學校,又不想太傳統的,所以第一輪已被取錄,好開心.像人一样,每個人也有優點和缺點,怎會perfect,學校也一样,所以再一次講,睇父母想要些甚么.

各位好!

意想不到, 我只是將這六年的感受抒發一下, 竟然也可以得到各位的回應.  意猶未盡, 讀過各位的文字後, 還想寫多一點點.

身為父母, 常常都想為子女事事張羅到最好, 連學校都要最好, 但是何謂最好? 我覺得我們先要自我坦白, 要清楚子女個人的特質, 如:內向或外向, 主動或被動, 好學或是要推才動.......等等, 不要欺騙自己, 以為 '入了最好的學校, 子女便會變成最好' . 追求學問知識是一條漫長的路, 不可能揠苗助長, 能夠令子女保持追求知識的精神才是最重要, 試想他們每天懷着快樂上學和放學, 是多幸福! 每個人的潛能會在不同的階段發放出來, 父母們如農民一樣, 不要急, 只要悉心栽種, 總有收成的一天, 不同品種的植物有不同的收成期, 不要將橙和蘋果比較, 我們的子女是獨一無二的. 為子女選擇合適的學校才是最重要, 不要盲從, 不要比較.

另外, 選擇一條龍小學又是否最好呢? 如果各位有子女將入讀可以直升中學的小學, 你們可以問一問校方, 每年有幾多小六學生可以直升中學, 我可以告訴你, 一般所謂的名校, 中學部最多只收取小學部50%的學生, 他們只想收最好的, 其他的學位留給最好的外來生.所以在小學的六年, 學生都不敢怠慢, 其實日子也過得絶不輕鬆.

Bluestar

miumiumilk,

Of course !!

還有tingmum,
我們的小朋友今年同班.

其實還有其他家長的
但他/她們暫時選擇隱身

希望每年都有畢業生家長
寫六年有感 !


這幾年﹐女兒是很順利地從幼稚園生活過渡到小學生活﹐她每天都很主動起床﹐背著書包出門上學﹐放學回來電話告訴我的也是開心事情﹐

- 這方面, 我個仔就差點. 在學校最緊張最開心是可以玩, 回家再玩個不停 !

babywitchwitch,

Yes, that's the main point.
Choosing a suitable school for our children is a matching process.
It is quite difficult to say/judge that we will choose the best school.
But rather it will be more appropriate to say that we try to choose a suitable school that hopefully can meet parents' expectation.

The positioning of TSL is somewhere between traditional school and international school.
The school follows local curriculum and the pupils will attend local examinations.
But the 30% NCS gives the school a bit of "international feel".

It is quite interesting to see that many parents of NCS opt to send their children to TSL, hoping that they can learn slightly better Chinese.
On the other hand, many local parents would like to send their children to TSL so as to have a bit more chance to speak and learn under an English-speaking enviornment.

OLDOLDMUM,

1)        To be honest, the name of this thread
“六年有感” is very appealing.  I believe the name of this thread has attracted many TSL parents to read & write their posts here in the past few days.

2)        I am a bit late in writing my comments here today and you have already written most of the points I want to make.  Nevertheless, I still want to add a few comments here.

-        Before choosing a school, we really have to ask ourselves what kinds of elements we want/expect from our children?  Then, we will try to look for a school that can provides such training for our children.  
A man's meat is another man's poison.  
Parents have to be clear what their expectations are.

-        We should not 揠苗助長.  P.1 pupils study P.1 textbooks, P.2 pupils study P.2 textbooks and so on.   
It's  not a good idea to over-load our children with textbooks which are 1-2 grades higher.  
Instead, we should give them a bit free time to do something that they want hopefully everyday so as not to fully occupy their minds 100%.  
Otherwise, their creativity will be hindered.  
Life is a marathon!!!  You never know who the winner is till the end of the game!!!

-        Personally, I do not opt for “one-dragon” school for my child.  As the education system in HK is changing too rapidly, I would rather choose a suitable primary school for my child for 6 years first and then observe what will happen 6 years later and to decide what secondary school we will target for.  
It's important to make our children competitive in the society these days in order to compete globally.  
No matter what kinds of secondary school our children will go to in the future, as long as they can posses the few key elements that we want, that's enough.

3)        I am not eligible to write “六年有感” at this moment.  
At most, I can only write “兩年有感”.  
But I would  like to save it and write my post here
4 years later.

我也十分喜愛此校, 但友人問及升中的問題, 他說由於是新校只3份一入band 1 , 我又担心教學語言的接軌問題, 請指教升中的情況, 是要家長自行四出張羅?謝謝!

OLDOLDMUM

上星期五, 畢業禮終於舉行, 看着女兒在台上表演的同時, 由六年前報名開始, 一幕幕影象也在我的腦海中閃過, 實在太感動, 我感謝校長, 老師, 所有其他職員及教練, 他們所付出的愛心和努力, 將成為學生們一生美好的回憶, 作為家長的我, 也有依依不捨之情, 為況是學生們呢?
