考不入英基釀掟女慘劇

Cherishvalue

Just would like to share our experience.....

We are Cantonese speaking family.

My boy went to a real IS kindergarten (not ESF though) and spent a year with ESF primary school.  We switched him back to a local primary school at 6-year old.

I have to admit that it took a little while for him to get used to the "new" environment - learning Chinese/doing assignment on a daily basis.  But frankly speaking, the difficulties are not as big as quoted here.  Not easy but manageable.

英基幼稚園在他們的入學簡介己清清楚楚列明幼稚園只是有INTERVIEW的優先條件.

You're right IF a Cantonese speaking family. We are not full cantonese speaking family at least I myself is not from HK originally although I'm a chinese in racial. I don't write traditional chinese at all.

That's why my path is one way...

Lots of mainland chinese teens learn traditional chinese easily.  So I am sure your young child wl hv no problem if you choose to go to a local school.

Of course it would be difficult if both parents do not understand Chinese!

當然我們不可以每件事都說成社會的錯、別人的錯、政府的錯。我說政府及學校要負責的, 不是哪女人為何尋死, 而是要檢討為何明知學額不足, 為何仍讓學校開辦幼稚園呢 ?  不錯, 學校巳經預先聲明只有優先面試及不保證學位, 但所有做生意的人都知道何為先小人後君子, 我先講明條款, 願者上釣, 日後你達不到要求續不了約便你死你事, 但是這是做生意呀, 不應用同樣的手法放在孩子的身上呀 !  孩子念了2年英語後無法上去同系小學, 不中不西, 然後再叫小孩去適應全然不同的環境, 你們當他們是實驗品嗎 ? 如果明知小一學額不足以容納所有esf kinder, 哪esf還是不要開設幼稚園好了,讓所有有足夠英語能力的孩子小一才考進去便好, 免得教了2年不再教, 叫人無所適從.

要小孩去做實驗品的是家長，全港不是只有英基幼稚園，家長明知有風險還是要把孩子送進去，又不鋪好後路，這不是家長的責任，是誰的責任?

依你的邏輯，小學不全收同系幼稚園學生的所有辦學團體，也應關掉幼稚園吧！

你的諗法我好難明白, 以你所講, 你都要鬧下民生書院?因為民生小學都只會收到65%左右自己幼稚園學生, 請問有問題嗎?

你要明白priority for interview只係interview, bottom line是你的小朋友要PASS, 冇錯, ESF的kinder未必係最好, 但想問下, 佢地既kinder student有幾多個係冇得interview for ESF primary呢? 我相信係'無', 全數都有得Interview, 只係有好多係FAIL, 但你可以出去問下其他international kinder, 有幾多Cat. 2係冇得interview 呢? 答案係'好多'.  

好似你咁唔理解ESF system既家長, 最好都係唔好比小朋友讀ESF 學校, 免得將來有misunderstanding.

No one has the official figures yet.  It is too early to draw the conclusion.

ESF kindergartens teach in English but do not teach English.  In the interview, the primary schools look for readiness, including maturity, for an English primary curriculum.

ESF primary interview 並不難. 只需基本口語溝通, 相信考過的人都會同意. 小孩在全英文幼稚園讀了兩年, 連基本口語溝通都不行, 學校是否也該檢討?
