聽完真道簡介會, 有點失望

ratafan

I share your view， bamama， u need to be crystal clear on this point before making this decision as their curriculum lasts for 11 years， need to understand clearly the roadmap of thhose not taking ib （ie 334）， if they expect students taking both streams， it would be quite disastrous , esp for those students who are not 考試材料

bamama

Ratafan, thanks for your advice. We think Logo is not our cup of tea. We won't consider this school anymore. Not just because of the bad experience in the introductory seminar, but also the learning approach of the school.

我當年又唔會因為一次簡介會，決定報唔報一間學校。我仲會周圍問不同家長，收集多啲意見，先會決定報定唔報。真道如是、優才如是、蔡繼有亦如是。報學校唔同買棵菜，功課點都要做吓。

bamama

在此，只想提醒一下對真道有興趣的家長，一定要了解清楚334 及IB的問題。

bamama

對，功課一定要做足。所以不要只問口碑，家長們一定要去聽簡介會，親身去了解下，感受下。

當日負責人話黎緊會有一個專講lB既家長講座，所以當日先唔想用太多時間解答IB問題。（個人感覺，不喜勿插）

簡介會只係一個機會去了解，同小朋友面試一樣，短時間真係未必睇到你想睇嘅嘢。真道係當年我同太太其中一間有心俾囡囡入嘅學校，所以我特地走去問朋友介紹認識一啲校內家長，以了解得更深入。慢慢發現真道好啱我個女，所以報讀，好彩收咗。咁我女讀咗兩年，各方面知識增長不在話下(真道將常識科分為科學、社會、倫理及媒體，知識非常全面)，最重要係我女學習得好開心(老師課堂設計很花心思，能帶起學生學習動機及興趣)，亦有好多機會思考、發表意見，避免咗操練考試模式學習，呢樣已經係其中最大得著。
當然，如果真道當年唔係我哋杯茶，我哋都唔會花時間去了解啦。

簡介會是首要, 第一印象好緊要, 不要盲目附從口碑, 因為人人的小朋友是不同的

我就是不知真道如何，所以才去聽簡介會。只是，作為一位家長，表達要問IB問題，卻被取之用於笑料，未免太沒 ...

我都有去個簡介會，我唔覺得你被取笑啊。會唔會你諗多咗？就因為這個原因出post話間學校唔好又唔係幾公道喎。

I have a look at the IB website  and noticed that they min age for IB is 16-19
Not sure if this is a strict rule. If 真道 offers 11 years academic, then most of the students when they sit for the year 10, they are less than 16. If 細 B will be just 15 or below 15 Did any parents ask this question ?  Though the site normally but not sure if this is a hard requirement ?

Quote from the IB website
The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students, normally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world's leading universities.

I think as parents we need to be very careful in finding and searching for facts.  3 years ago when I first attended their seminar, one of the pt the ex-Principal stressed that their students could go for 334 and IB Dip in parallel which he seemed to highlight this to distinguish  themselves from other ordinary IB school.  However he never mentioned only about 1/3 students could opt for IB, neither mentioned about only those high flyer could opt for both systems, and that as DDS school, they are obliged to send a number of students for 334.  Now, it seems that some schools, those elite and academically strong schools like Co-Ed, DBS,  has already started to provide both system IB and 334 for students to choose but not both.  So I think it's unrealistic to believe that our children would have that calibre to attempt both system, neither those elite schools are brave to claim to do so. So all in all, I won't choose this school because it offers IB.  I should treat it as a very ordinary school which allows children with appropriate calibre to attempt IB.

Logos got the IBDP approval in April 2011.  Presumably the school can start offering IB programme in Sept 2011 with the first cohort attending the exam in May 2013.  Any parents can share information about the current status, e.g. no. of IB students, subjects offered, and how many students taking both 334 and IB etc.  How about results of its HKCEE/A level exam(s)?

我不懂考大學學制, 但從學生學習和老師教學方面我想不出來, 何來一校兩制. 以我對香港學校管理和教學認識,  ...

Just want to clarify the point about "如果說, 到了學生考完HKDSE跟住叻的同學讀多一年考DP, 我都覺得有可能".  I am afraid this is not feasible.  IBDP is not simply an exam like A level.  It is a 2 year programme with an exam at the end.  About 30% of the final marks is based on the on-going assessments/assignments at school.

I do not response to posts very often. However, for the issue on IB, I think parents shall do a bit more research.  I do not think a student, so as for elite student, can take both DSS and IB at the same time.  Because the teaching and the assessment approach are of very different.

For Lago, as some parents mentioned, I will not judge a school just based on an introductory seminar.  I can imagine a not very good school can become a very good school just by mouth.  I believe there must be something that we cannot miss.

For my kids, I think I will apply for the school though this is not my target.

你當日問題問得好好....
但其實公平D.....你唔好嬲住先....
我又唔覺得佢係寸你果隻.....
因為在你發問之前,差不多大部份人都係問IB嘅問題.....
但其實個TALK係"小一入學簡介"....
佢都係想你地問返小一課程問題......

請勿誤會, 我沒有說學校不好. 老實說, 以一間直資學校來說, 真道應該是不錯的.

我想表達的是, 我不明白為什麼不讓家長發問有關IB的問題, 就算之後有一個關於IB的講座, 又是否只提供給真道的家長(因DS的家長們要決定小朋友是否讀IB)? 是否OPEN? 真道也以成為IB SCHOOL為榮, 也是賣點之一, 而且有很多的安排也直接影響到家長的決定, 那為什麼不可以問有關問題?

另外, 我不考慮真道, 並非單因簡介會中某博士的表現, 而是覺得教學方面不太適合小女, 真道吸引我的, 是它的IB課程, 但我對它的語言環境則沒太大信心, 所以才有此決定.

當日說不再回答IB問題, 可能只是某博士的個人決定, 並非學校的方向, 但這已令人扣了不少分數.

我提出這事, 只想家長們要多做點功課, 特別是去認識一些一條龍中小學時, 不要忘了中學部份, 要了解多一點, 如果可以, 中學部的簡介會也應該去聽一聽, 了解一下.

哈哈, 放心, c4ceci, 我只係唔好彩/ 好彩? 至少我可以問埋條問題.

但為什麼那麼多人問? 正因為我們關心而又不清楚細節. 學校成日話小朋友一讀便11年, IB可能是很多人的選擇, 如果能入讀IB的只是三分一學生, 可能有不少家長也會重新考慮. 我只想說明這點.

我相信當日很多家長也不知道不是所有學生也可選讀IB的. 之前, 我曾聽過另一所學校的中學部簡介會, 很高興, 有家長問了此問題, 當時我想, 為什麼在小學部的簡介會中沒人提及? 如果我當初知道有關比例, 會否影響我的決定? 所以我才提出這問題, 希望家長們都可以知多啲. 其實之後也可能有很多更好更好的問題, 不過可能沒機會在此簡介會問了, 有點可惜呢!

I totally agree that parents should look at both the primary and secondary sections if they target through-train schools.  It's not difficult to provide a happy and caring environment in the primary section, and yet when students move into the secondary section academic levels and teaching approach etc still count.  In any event, parents would their children going to good universities, right?  IB is still very new in HK and it is reasonable for parents to ask questions about it.  In the past we did not have to ask as A level was the only choice for majority of us.  Nowadays there are so many choices for parents to consider: traditional, IB, IB based, project approach and so on.  It's just another difficult task for parents la!

Hello bamama,

我當天也在場, 你的問題我也希望聽聽回應, 可惜.......他們像四兩撥千金.....逃避, 也像有一條關於老師流失率, 又係沒有好正面回答.
或者不用失望, 只是更清楚理解他們的理念吧.
