我覺得小學是語文的鞏固期，小五寫完論文，基本上孩子需 ...

I would say CKY is definitely not an easy one. My girl needs to pay much effort to do a fair grade.

Is your girl a primary or secondary school student?

I think in addition to the absolute points or grade, knowing the ranking is important, since I want to know how my child is doing as compared with others.  Ideally, we should only be competing with ourselves to strike for excellence.  However, the reality is that we are living in competition.  The children need to compete for university offer, compete for jobs, and so on.  If I only know that my child gets 90 points in a certain paper, then I would not know whether that paper is very easy, and he is the worst in his grade, or he is the average or top student.

OIC. 但開始寫論文未？我常想小五生怎自己分析和寫論文? 語文能力高到自己寫千多字文章?是否父母老師要幫很多，我相信學校不打算隨他們東抄抄、西抄抄....

IB所指論文不是大學標準的論文，較為接近長文而已，跟thesis and desertation 不同程度。
當然由一般4-500字進步到1000字亦唔簡單，起碼在構思，觀點，如何串連及演繹都是很好的訓練。

家長參與多少各人原則不同，好難評論。

如果是英文書寫的功課，小兒要交兩份，一份電郵給老師，另一份要上載一個軟件網站，檢查有否過份抄襲，如你所說東抄抄，西抄抄，軟件會查得出來。我相信大部份lB學校有買這個軟件使用權，中文就好似沒有。

My kids don't go to CKY but I think they are using standards based assessment/reporting.  In a standards based report card, you don't even know that your child has received 90 points.  It is rather an assessment of whether you are meeting specific rubrics of the grade-level standards.  But even if you know your child is say top 3 in the class, I know it brings joy to most parents, but what else does it actually tell you?  To be comfortable with a top 3 ranking, wouldn't there need to be some implicit assumption about the quality of the school and the class?

對小學生來說，是一項艱深的功課!

Thanks. I now understand more. Good practice for the children though difficult!

I think for an primary school student , we could put a low standard on plagiarism . CKY student will chat in Cantonese in school from what I observed in Open day and form application day( I follow a group of senior students when they walk outside the school to have pe lesson, all their dialogue are in Cantonese)

我不知其他小學現在的程度，但寫小論文或論文，老師他也說是他大學時才學。我也是。當然他們不是一寫便寫，前期學習是有鋪排的。無論中英寫作，現在均有大量pervasive writing.

I think speaking Cantonese is fine after all we are all HKers.  My girl speaks mandarin, English, and Cantonese with her classmates. She speaks English with good accents( she doesn't before entering CKY). My hubby's friends who are us born Chinese or Korean said she has the is accents) they communicate with each other very well. ( guys with girl).

我自己從小接受非常傳統的教學， 那麼我會否不懂得引導小朋友去做這些功課？？ 家長即是都要重新學過一套學習的方法？

I don't want other parents have expectations that students in cky will use English to chat in school like some branches in ESF,so I stated here.

寫論文要識好多字，咁英文串字中文默書係咪常有?

I can tell even CIS (high school) students do speak lots of Cantonese (if they are local Chinese) but they all can speak fluent English and Putonghua.  Don't worry about the trilingual situation in Hong Kong.  Parents may rather worry if their kids' Chinese proficiency is not up to good standard.

I don't know why and I also find it queer. But it's a fact that quite frequent they may chat and play in English, even in recess and school picnic, may be some of the classmates they used to speak english at home.
