家姐讀國際，細佬讀本地學校有問題嗎？

My daughter started to ask such questions since P1. Didn't take much time for her to notice the difference. I can't say she has "accepted" the explanations but she likes her school and tries to work hard on her work. I think she does not compare so much as before!

I think IS/Victoria will have higher tolerance or strategies for active or unstable children. It is not a matter of "discipline" (this is the view of traditional LS, sadly) but the teachers may need special care for the child. In some cases specialist assessment may be necessary.

To put it another way....even 2 different LS will have different workload.

As St joseph is a boy school, I guess it's relatively easy to explain to your kids since your daughter can't study there anyhow.

How about as a daddy you try to change the way how you judge this matter? Then they will eventually realize this is not an issue at all?

我都有想過這個問題. 因為我大仔比較適合LS. 但我真係覺得到時大仔會覺得我唔鍾意佢, 或者佢唔係我親生:too ...

If money is not a concern, go for IS. Why bother to stand the pressure of local school and get HK accent English if you can afford IS? If you are committed to the education of your kids, their destinations will be the same no matter they attend LS or IS - oversea univ or local univ via non-jupas.

Do you mind sharing your case & concern?  Thanks!

My elder daughter used to study in LS and she has switched to an international school at secondary level.  Younger brother is in LS.  He loves his school and doesn't want to change at all.  In fact I have no plan to do so, just all friends ask the same question over and over again.

I just tell the kids that they have different characters and different abilities.  Perhaps because they are of different genders, my kids have no problem to accept my explanations.

大仔讀緊RC 佢性格活潑好動到不得了，所以比佢讀IS 係好啱既決定，細佬／妹佢地係孖既，相對妹妹好動多諗頭都啱讀IS 但唯讀細佬，好靜，好容易習中專注所以我傾向佢讀全統學校，但每次去哥哥學校我都感覺果份學習既自由，快樂學習既珍貴，我都會重新去諗好唔好比埋細佬讀IS呢！我未決定！

But if I were u I would keep the younger son in LS if he can handle it, since it's relatively easy to change from LS to IS, right?

It's relatively easy to switch from LS to a so so IS. But for good IS, you have to plan well ahead and compete for a place.

LS轉IS都吳易，好睇學生實力同家庭質素。
不過近幾年都聽過有些名中的學生在高年班會轉去IS，又確實為到學校爭光（尤其係中文科）。

而家CIS的top boy都係初中時由St Paul Coed轉過去的。
