讀私校用2X萬去浸6年英文普通話有冇做錯呢???

I think additional arrangements for extracurricular activities are value-added and should be promoted.  Tuition outside normal school hours during primary is not really justified and indeed not healthy for children at junior ages.  To a certain extent, I think it is a bad product of commercial tuition centres exploiting parents' psychology and of certain schools setting bad precedents.  The trend is somehow spreading to KG levels.  Parents should act together against the temptation of falling into the trap.

Doh,
最後都係選擇咗一間新界區既直資學校。
明天如何，除咗天父真係無人會知，可做的就是作最好既準備，作最壞既打算。感恩既係住屋唔成問題，所以就容易d去計數，當然我亦都認同唔可以為咗一個小朋友既學習而要令全家都節衣縮食，擔心這個，憂心那個，令家庭陷入經濟危機。(咁講好似誇張咗d啊﹗hehe)
所以我哋而家做既，都係其他既專家所講，有餘錢就要儲起或作安全既投資，家庭既開支亦要作重新規劃，以前話想買就買既嘢，而家會考慮有無需要，對小朋友亦然，buffet會照食但次數減少，旅行都會去但會選擇近d，或者去澳門、香港一日遊，只要係陪住佢哋玩就會開心。(自己乽要放鬆吓ma)同時我哋會同小朋友講唔可以成日要求買玩具，佢哋自己都要為咗自己既學習而付出，所以佢都知道自己既利是錢會儲起來交學費(雖然唔多，但好過無)而唔會要求用嚟買玩具，遇到真係好想要既嘢就教佢等候，到聖誕或生日時先買。
對子女無條件既付出係重要，但亦都係時候讓佢哋學習去感恩，同自己去承擔一d既責任。

自問是個對補習這種現象十分反感的人, 但當全世界都在做的時候, 可以繼續堅持己見的人有幾多?誰都怕輸, 特別是自己的寶寶.

Good. 你只有一個孩子嗎?

同意呀﹗
其實係小學階段(應該大陪份家長都有小學程度卦)，父母有時間陪佢哋做功課或溫吓書，效果真係會比補習好得多，到中學程度深咗，就睇吓個小朋友跟唔跟得上囉。
所以自己corcern既係想小朋友係英文方面聽得又講得，唔好怕咗呢種語言，係屋企唔可以全天候講英文，就搵間以英語教學為主既學校俾佢囉﹗

no la，仲有個細佬，應該出年讀n班，所以兩個一齊交學費，慘﹗
當初我哋幫哥哥報學校既心態係，我哋會嘗試但唔強求，即係如果有學校收，就表示佢有能力、有機會，咁就讀la，如果唔得既，讀官津校亦會接受，因為我哋相信天父早有安排。
至於細佬係唔係一定跟哥哥讀直資，就睇佢既能力囉，因為每個小朋友都唔一樣，我哋亦都唔會強求細佬要同哥哥讀一樣既學校(幼稚園除外，因為哥哥讀既幼稚園真係好好)，有一樣既發展，兩兄弟有無緣份一齊返學又係睇天父安排囉﹗
you do the best, God will do the rest.

我認識的幼稚園媽媽巳經有幾個小朋友放左學就去補習社.  知道后除左覺得小朋友可憐外.  d大人都係太緊張.  對我里講, 如果我吾係返工, 我個女放左學, 食完野, 做完功課, 就最好去公園玩.  遊下水.  讀書幾十年流流長, 咁細個緊係要玩多d嫁啦.  玩對小朋友好緊要嫁.  我每晚慣左同個女玩, happy time!!!

不過講開又講, 一同d家長傾完, 就覺有無形既壓力.  她們d小朋友, 吾係讀緊Kumon, Kwik, 朱心算, 什麼數學.... 什麼英文....每次我都會同老公講, 係咪係香港讀書真係要咁嫁呢?  我地只想小朋友快快樂樂學習就得.  我地會繼續堅持, 在遊戲中學習.  父母的教育我覺得比學校的教育一樣咁重要.  到目前里講, 女兒好喜歡數學同新視物.  看到點點的效果, 十分喜悅.

I have a totally different concept of "補習" with reference to the quoted examples you just gave.

My perception of "補習" is something like the service a student gets in terms of assistance/guidance offered for completing his homework or teachings for strengthening the knowledge gained (or to be gained) at school (say by repeatedly doing extra exercises).  

For a kindergarten student, I don't consider the examples of courses you mention are "補習" but rather an opportunity for the kids to learn, i.e. 學習 or 興趣班.  The kids I encounter quite love such interest groups/classes which also help them get an easier life when they are promoted to the primary education.  Of course, if the knowledge (e.g. basic mathematical skills such as simple addition and subtraction) can be acquired through fun and play at home setting, there may not be a need to join the extra courses.

補習真是難免,
除非只生一個而且全職揍仔,

當你看到別人有補習的同齡孩子,
已經會什麼什麼的進度了,

自問自己的孩子也不比他蠢啊...
但還未做到...
多少壓力總應該有吧!

Since mine is still a K3 kid, I haven't gone through what you are experiencing.  Could you be kind enough to elaborate "當你看到別人有補習的同齡孩子,
已經會什麼什麼的進度了"?  Do you mean the purpose of sending kids to tuition centres is to let them learn ahead of the school's teaching schedule?  I got confused b'cos my understanding is to let them drill the skills they should have (whether composition skills, mathematics skills, etc).

對我嚟講所有嘢我都會以小朋友為先.....讀書當然希望佢哋讀得開心.....津校實在太多功課.....一定唔會適合我和我的小朋友....我讀書年代都唔會有2、30樣christmas功課...

我唔係好有錢....但係我好希望我小朋友係考到的心儀小學一路讀到中學畢業為止......我老公會計劃得遠些......我就唔理咁多.....現在有能力咪去做囉....唔會諗嚟諗去...諗到咁灰......我做人諗嘢通常會諗正面....正所為希望在明天！可能到時發咗達呢.....無人可預測......

我見好多直資都有得申REMISSION, 條件都唔苛刻. 私校就唔清楚.

可能身邊這幾年有太多的例子是, 急性或 發現時己是末期 cancer , 不到一年就走了, 他們都是30-40的黃金時期, 留下另一半和老幼, 再加上近來太多的意外新聞, e.g 菲律賓事件和芭蕾舞校長, 令我感到人生實在太無常, 在突變中給予孩子最少的影響, 如學業. 是父母的負任.

可能我真的是想得太多, 好聽就是居安思危, 唔好聽就是太悲觀.

感謝你的回覆. 子女教育當然無價, 我主張快樂的學習.  更希望親自照顧女兒所以明年3月不工作了.  經濟方面該是可以的.  崇真是一間好的學校, 語言很強, 但升中是一個問題.  Maryknoll Father不用學費, 又有80%可升其 ...

兩間差唔多，MF語言都幾好，又有新校舍，如果係我，我會選MF．

常試諗每樣嘢都用正面的方法.....你做人父母....係小朋友的榜樣....你所做的一切、對事件的想法都直接影響小朋友成長......

我小時候父母成日憂柴憂米....令到我同我妹妹好驚冇書讀....我哋細個出街好乖知道父母冇錢買玩具我哋係唔會叫買.....好好彩我同我妹妹都完成大學畢業.....邊有人會諗到咁貧窮都可以去外國讀書﹖！....依家小朋友大多數都好幸福.....到我呢一代......我唔想我小朋友都好似我細個咁成日擔心錢銀問題.....咁當然唔好刻意冇錢扮有錢啦.....總之依家有能力咪去做想做的事.......

發生係別人身上的不幸例子.....未必會發生係自己身上....都話意外....好難預料......就算一個健康的人成日諗咁多負面、唔開心的事....冇病都會變咗有病！放鬆些吧......

俾小朋友在好的學習環境讀書係"無價"....

My friend has sent his son to a very famous local gov't school.  Although she does not pay any school fee at all, she is spending almost 7k monthly for those private lessons on English and Maths.  Otherwise, the kid will not be able to pass all those school exams.
