Hello Ian, just read through all your paragraphs and glad to hear that your daughter already grow up! She's really very mature thinking compare with those kids in the same age group. But one thing you ...

Thank you!

Sure I didn't mention it here but I always thank the kindergarten to bring the best of education to my daughter and myself.  Actually I did say this in another recent thread to share this.  One of the key thing that we have learned through these years, is to love the people around us.  It is on another level from what we usually care about just the kids are receiving the love and care, but they learn to love each others.  I think this is the most important thing on earth.

I totally appreciate the opportunity that we can be part of this kindergarten and would love to continue in this school system.  It's just that we have slightly different priority in life so my daughter would feel it is more important to help her sister, than to achieve better academic result.  I have asked her questions on this topic specifically to assure she fully understand what she will be expecting.

I agree with your point concerning top schools.  It is actually part of the conversation that I didn't disclose and it has covered her own concern in such matters.  And she has expressed clearly what she is comfortable on handling at this stage.  We accepted her reasoning and so we have moved on to consider schools that fit her.

Well, Ian,

你話:We may choose to move late this year if we failed all three private schools applied.

你是不是指你會為了大抽獎而搬屋(如心儀私小不收的話)?我有冇理解錯了呢?因為我係想問吓當你知道3間私小的結果之後,再去搬屋,流程上可來得及?(我是指來得及將新地址報給教育局嗎?)

因為我都有同一煩惱,我有一間心儀私小,亦不想搬屋.但我想來想去,無可能待得悉心儀私小肥佬後,才搬屋啊...

Hi Christi,

The timing is okay, consider the three that we applied will have results announced by end of Nov.  Of course, as a parent reminded me, probably they won't offer us the seats after reading my posts here!  

I guess we will see how the situation will be later this year to decide.  But if move in December, it can still meet the time to submit the lucky draw application for the new net.

thanks.Ian.

正如一位BK家長所說,有時機關算盡,結果卻出人意表.所以,又何須擔心'probably they won't offer us the seats after reading my posts here!'

努力之後,就將餘下的交給神.互勉. 並祝你囡囡在未來的小學能開心快樂學習成長,好奇心求知慾長學長有.

Hi Ian, this is indeed very thoughtful of you sharing with us.
We as parents tend to think we understand our little one well enough to label them and put them to a different situations... types of sch ...

Thanks for your sharing.

Actually this is a teaching method that I adopt since my daughter was born.  Communication skill is not something that you can quickly develop over short period of time.  So, one important factor on parents are we have to be patience.  Through the conversation, we need to help to guide them through the development of their ability to express ideas and concepts.

Hi! Ian,

I like to read your posts & thanks for your valuable sharing in the past.

Regards what your elder daughter said, I have some thoughts, or you may already deal with, I guess:

1. It seems she cares so much about her younger sister, so her younger sister is also one of the key factors for her in choosing a primary school. If so, she has high pressure that she must be the light for her younger sister, leading her to the bright future. In fact, everyone is special & unique, her younger sister may have her own thought in her education path. She may like SHCS, & stays there, who knows?
Just pick up any primary school she prefers, based on her personality, ability & interests, etc., that's all!

2. She couldn't change her sleeping habbit in coping with school time.... seems not the reason for choosing primary school wor.... It is a general practice that kid needs to sleep early & wake up early to school. btw, u already consider to move closer to her shcool, so sleeping time in fact not a big issue at all.

Anyway, your decision has already made, I guess u may have analyse what she concerns & how u could deal with them with her together. blessings your family!

Thanks very much for the suggestions!

Frankly, it is impossible to share everything to the public so I have only managed to tell part of the story.  Concerning what you have mentioned, those have been well covered during the discussion but thank you for your kind advices anyway!
