DBSPD or LSPS

70%? Will it be that bad? La Salle is a 直屬中學, the school can reserve up to 85% of the places he has wor. This information is from the EDB.

In your situation, I would choose DBSPD as you won't have any headache when it comes to secondary school application.
Competition is extremely fierce in La Salle, especially in P5 & P6.
Since only 70% ...

As you said, these schools are both very top and both schools offer all-round education. So I would consider the following factors before I make the decision.

1. How do you like your kid to be
Go to the campus and observe the behavior of the students by yourself (first-hand).

2. The compatibility of your child's character
Look at your child and use your own judgement to see if he can fit well with the open culture of these schools.

3. The ability of your kid
If the child is strong in academic performance, he should be able to 'survive' in both schools no matter how many % of primary students can go to his secondary section. On the contrary, if his performance is substandard, then I believe he would still have a very hard time in DBSPD.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

可以學費及小朋友性格為考慮點：

如果$$不是問題，我會揀DBSPD ，轉直資後學習較活動，而且自上年加增了法文 / 西班牙文必修，校舍新又大，有學生海外/國內交流，收費合理，最新教署校評非常優異！

當然如果不想開支太大，小朋友好谷得，LS 絕對是不弍之選！

my husband is an old boy in DBS while my father and brother are from La Salle.  Now both schools accepted my son, what should I do ????

你仔仔真的很幸運, 這兩間如果有其中一間收已是很幸運了, 現在竟然兩間都收, 真是幸運到極了, 大部份人都是煩緊入不到其中一間, 而你只是煩緊入邊一間好, 其實這兩間都是頂尖的學校, 就算你是是但但入一間都唔會錯得去邊的。假設你仔仔是讀書叻的(其實你仔仔入到DBS都一定是叻仔), 你就要問吓你的親友那一間的學術水平比較高, 就入那一間, 這樣就可以讓仔仔學得更深及更廣了, 因為叻仔通常都很喜歡學嘢的, 咁就更能滿足他了。

It seems to me that the dilema is not just comparing the two schools, but Daddy vs. Grandpa.

Does your boy have a preference himself?  He can choose too, and you won't be caught in between.

If Daddy likes DBSPS and wants his son to go to his school, then definitely DBSPS.  

Unless Daddy believes saving money is more important and doesn't mind his son not going back to his Alma Mater.

True. If the boy grew as a La Salle boy and entered LSC, there's a high chance that he will strongly dislike its most-hated rival - DBS. It would be awkward if his father is from DBS. On the contrary, if the boy grew as a DBS boy, he will have tons of topical subjects to share with his dad.

So, I would strongly recommend your son to go to DBSPD.

Why not?  Even an old boy cannot guarantee a place in DBSPD!

But how come the daddy has agreed to applying for a place in LSPS at the very beginning.

如果我係喇沙舊生，我唔介意比個仔讀新小拔，反之亦然，我唔覺得有問題，兩間係同級數學校~~~

But how come you would select something that you feel "most-hated" for your son?
He will be very uncomfortable in the coming 6 years or even 12 years.

如果你受過 12 年 LSC/DBS 教育, 當你個仔成功考到兩間的話, 大部份 old boys 都會希望個仔入返自己母校多過去死敵那邊...

Since an old boy of LSC/DBS cannot guarantee a place for his son in the application stage, it is a normal case as quoted by 楼主。  

However if money is not a concern, I guess 楼主 better respect the opinion of your husband in choosing the school.

bobbbby

我同意”希望個仔入返自己母校多過去死敵那邊”，不過如果有機會，我會兩間都報，萬一咁好彩兩間都收o既話，再衡量邊間適合個仔多啲，當然母校會加感情分，但係我唔同意”how come you would select something that you feel "most-hated" for your son?”~~~

我相信男拔或喇沙學生／舊生，都會認同兩間都係好好o既學校，只係歷史遺留下來，變成”死敵”，所謂死敵，都只不過係兩間學校經常響學界比賽碰頭，爭奪名次，尤其是學界田徑比賽，幾乎每年都係冠亞之爭，競爭激烈，甚至發生衝突，但都唔算係乜野大”仇恨”，而且所謂仇恨，會隨住畢業離開學校而減退~~~

我識人係男拔畢業，個仔讀喇沙~~~

拔萃男書院附屬小學其實都不係成立太長~我記得係2003定2004年.所以都沒有畢業生,好似今年先至有畢業生畢業
咁你講DBS舊生應該講既係拔萃小學卦
,而不係拔萃男書院附屬小學
但據聞舊拔(拔萃小學老師)好多都過到拔萃男書院附屬小學(即係依家個個講既DBS)教書

You are absolutely correct, it's Daddy vs Grandpa issue.... I finally chose DBSPD because of the bonding between father and son.... Thanks everyone for sharing all kinds of opinion with me.

charwes

係喎, 13 年先o岩...
