有冇家長試過比仔女同時讀上下午校幼稚園

Hi oooray,

Thanks for your reply, however, what I mean is HOW my kids answer Cheung 3 Lee 4 which school they are attending (for me it's ok as my face skin is thick), some people are not considerate, always ask kids for acadamic result and so so. Just teach my kids to say school A? Then will kids say that at school B (think it's not polite)? Or I can tell them both schools love you, welcome you to go and play, but others may not have such chance, so better only tell them school A is ok.

We have been sending our son to full day school (one school, not 2) since K1 (now K2). Originally the main reason was to let him learn to eat on his own because he doesn't like eating, and feeding him has always been our #1 headache.

It was tough for him at the beginning because he was not used to being away from home for so long, but he got used to it after about a month. The school gives them nap time so exhaustion is not an issue once he gets used to the sleeping pattern.

A side benefit we didn't expect was Mandarin that he can learn in his afternoon class. The school lets us choose a different class for the afternoon. We plan to send him to international school so in the morning he goes to an English only international class. Now at least he's learning Mandarin and Chinese characters too.

As a parent, i will not teach my children any "model answers" to "FAQ". Although they are just 2 or 3 or 4, we should treat them as an "individual". Whatever he/she wants to answer is the best answer.
Regarding Cheung 3 Lee 4 questions, I will be more than happy if my children answer "i learn nothing" there. So, Cheung 3 Lee 4 will be happy, i will be happy, everybody will be happy...win-win-win situation.
Relatives and friends may concern those FAQ : too tired, no time to sleep, so and so...As long as you believe it is worthy, nobody will challenge you further  (We should assume parents are always the no. one person caring their own children, right?).
Actually, my children knows they are/were attending 2 schools in the first few months in K1 (they did/do not know other children don't/didn't do the same). Whatever school A or school B he/she answered, i don't care. In their mind, they will compare which one they like more and will shift to that side.
It seems u have a great interest to try. Before doing that, pls. ask yourself:
1. your childre is physically able to handle 2 session (not worthy if always get sick due to insufficient rest/sleep);
2. As a parent, what for? If u think simply going to 2 schools can double his/her knowledge, don't do that, it doesn't work; if both school are in the same style, Children will only get bored.
3. What is your inention of doing that?
4. U will be extremely busy in handling 2 schools routine. Make sure u have spare "manpower" looking after your child in case there are any special events in School A or School B...

Exactly. Language Skills are bonus.

thanks for your opinion. My main reason is avoiding TV time too long at home and I love 2 kinders in different style. Of course, my kid loves playmates so so much and she seldom sleeps in the afternoon.

simply plug off the TV should be the easiest way to achieve your first criteria;
thinking about full day kinder is an easier option;
of course, if u like both kinder, go ahead your big project. good luck!

Actually I have prepared to let my gal to attend two schools too as she is very energetic and I consider that it is letting her to have more playmates.

Now we are applying for K1, what i am planning now is to find two schools, of which we like of close distant and move house to there.

Of coz, if she can get into the one in Kowloon Tong, I will let her join one school only while maybe during the week end to join the playgroup.
